Progress though! Good going

No idea why people lie about things that don't matter to the outcome but they do. I suppose she thought you wouldn't want Bongo if he didn't talk? Who knows! It would make a rehomers life much easier if they would just tell the truth though!

What a pretty bird and what a sweet pic of him/her and hubby! Good luck and God bless.

Pretty birds!

Nancy, VLC or real player should work, try picking one of those.

I'm no photographer, but snapped this of Timber in his sack. It is a grocery sack that I cut in half. He chewed for 20 minutes then started preening. He loves grocery day!

Timber doesn't like them.

LOL Sounds like she is determined!

Hello and welcome Penny and Len

Excellent posts. That's what I was thinking too. Timber is an attention hog, and is noticeably jealous of my cats. Since I work, I feel that I barely have the time he requires, must less the time another bird would require.

There are numerous posts about chop. Just do a search. Here is one to get you started: http://www.greyforums.net/forums/showthread.php?196941-Chop&highlight=chop

Timber will eat a bit of broccoli and he likes the fresh pea pods. He strips the pod and just eats the little peas inside, but he does eat a bit. He also will pick at a fresh artichoke if it is on his skewer. I'm assuming you have read the threads about chop?

Same here birdhouse. It was worked on it was working better for awhile (the PM). I haven't used it recently though.

Timber sits on my arm. Can't believe he hangs on while I'm typing but he does!

You can't take them all, and it does not sound heartless. Everyone has their limits on space, time, and money!

I use Chrome and have the same problem from time to time. I always copy my posts "just in case" then reload. Most of the time I can submit the next time. I was using Firefox prior to that and didn't have the problem nearly as much. Firefox was down to a crawl (like explorer) and I switched to Chrome.

It was from a breeder's website.

I tripped across this surfing. Being a newbie and having had no interaction with young birds as some of you have, I thought it was fascinating. It shows a CAG from hatch to older (probably age of sale). I'm not saying anything about the conditions or treatment because I know nothing. Just thought other newbies might want to see the pictures! http://www.kizoa.com/slideshow/d1631291k7363360o2/frankies-slideshow

They don't even look like the same birds! Fascinating.

LOL Good idea! A new reality show...

Sorry to hear about Pete. The older I get, the more I realize that there does come a "time to go" for birds/animals and people! Never easy even when it is time though... God bless.

When Timber was "mad" at me recently over a nail trimming at the vets, he did the same thing. He didn't want to step up, didn't want scratching or any contact with me, but as soon as I was out of the room he would whistle and talk until I got back in the room. then he would go back into "bird of stone" mode. They are fascinating and vexing!

LOL! I can see Gilbert peering under the door and plotting his next attention getting move.

Kiwi is beautiful! Definitely not showing these pics to hubby... some of you know what I mean
