  1. Hello and welcome to you both! It sounds like you have already made a lot of progress. Loved the pics, what a good looking guy!
  2. Oh, that sounds great! I can imagine how thrilled you were. Just another testimony to time and patience. Good job
  3. I know that feeling. Timber won't eat fresh peas but will eat "Just Peas" dried.
  4. What neat pics! Love those babies... thanks for sharing
  5. As for the talking, they talk when they feel like it. When he gets comfortable he will probably start using words again. After six months, Timber will sometimes come out with a word we haven't heard before. They don't forget any word they have learned in the past, so if he had an extensive vocabulary in the past, he still has it. He will use it when he feels like it. Probably not what you wanted to hear, but that's the way they are. I talk to Timber all the time, tell him what I'm doing and just make conversation. Sometimes he responds, sometimes he doesn't. He still does most of his talking when he is alone in the room.
  6. Enjoyed the video! Thanks for sharing
  7. LOL So Gilbert was demonstrating. Funny! As to the car, fool me once and you know the rest. You might be on to something with their reactions mirroring yours though. Tell David to start hopping up and down and verbalizing his excitement every time you come home and see what happens (don't forget to video...). Seriously though, I wonder if they do match their reactions to yours at some level. Interesting at any rate! Congrats on your anniversary. Hubby and I are coming up on 30 the end of the month.
  8. LOL Gotta have an inspector to ensure quality control!
  9. Hello and welcome! Glad to see you here and I hope the forum is as helpful to you and Sadie as it has been to Timber and me
  10. Let us know how it works out, I'm curious!
  11. That mess catcher looks really cool. Timber always finds a way to poop around, over, or under anything I try, so I wouldn't trust it to catch everything! Really neat though.
  12. Pretty babies! That is going to be a tough decision...
  13. Good to hear from you and glad to hear Dutch and Emmy are doing OK. It seems like a new world every day with them sometimes. Never boring at any rate!
  14. Someone else probably knows more, I'm not a TV person. I know a friend told me he was always on the Oprah show hawking something he came up with.
  15. LOL! That's especially funny to me, because yesterday Timber, who is always trying to get the cats' attention, was on top of his cage. When one of the cats passed underneath, he grabbed an almond shell and threw it right at the cat. Hit him in the back. It was empty, so the cat just looked around like "what the heck" and strolled on. You could almost see the disappointment in Timber's eyes at the lack of reaction he provoked. They are so funny...
  16. Dave, he is some TV doctor (not sure what kind) that is always starting new fads. Just another quack in my book and I've never seen him myself, but many follow him and he is on tv, magazine, books etc.
  17. Ha, figures! I mean the price going up because of Dr. Oz
  18. It sounds to me like you have came a long way with Rosie! It is frustrating, but as everyone says on the forum, grey time moves soooo slowly... I don't think I would be able to get Timber to step up from inside his cage unless he was really anxious to go somewhere with me. As others said, that is his "safety" zone and he doesn't like to be messed with if he is inside. If he wants to interact, he comes out. It is troublesome knowing that in the event of an emergency I would probably have to towel him to get him out, but it is what it is. Hopefully that will change with time, but that remains to be seen. I have had him for six months. You are also very fortunate that Rosie doesn't bite when you are sticking your arm in there like in the first video. When Timber bites, it is a blood drawing, tear inspiring bite, not a warning nip. One of these days, I bet Rosie will take the plunge and bring that other foot along for the ride. It will most likely be from a cage door or perch though.
  19. Timmy is a beautiful bird! Thanks for sharing
  20. Hello and welcome to you and Cesar I have a rehomed TAG as well, but not much experience! Interesting about the glove and bonding. Timber is uncommonly attached to a bell in his cage and we've been having some issues lately. Something to think about!
  21. Mine is on for six hours a day, so I need to be sure and do that. Thanks
