Timbersmom

Hello and welcome! What is your baby's name?

New word! I put an artichoke on Timber's skewer this morning (he will usually eat some of that). When I got home, he hadn't eaten much of it. I was pulling on the leaves and talking to him. He put his beak on it and said "artichoke" clear as a bell! I always tell him what I'm putting in there when I hang the skewer.

I use a bowl also.

Hello and welcome Bambi and Jesse. What a great Christmas present

Last day, that's great! Enjoy the holidays with the boys and fids

Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year to you and yours

LOL bobbing for Kale. I'll have to try that one! There is some hanging on his skewer now which he is studiously ignoring...

Agreed. Timber is a TAG and most of the medium/large toys work for him.

Sounds like you will have a blast with Storm and Echo. They are such fun!

It seems like greys are like kids... they just like stuff or they don't. I would just keep offering them and he may change his mind. Have you tried all the varieties? There are some nuts Timber doesn't seem to like. If you haven't tried pine nuts, try those. That is a favorite around here. Did you try offering nuts shelled and unshelled? Sometimes they have a preference one way or the other. Timber will eat an almond in the shell (I crack off the end) but doesn't care for unselled ones. At any rate, just keep trying which is all any of us can do.

Thanks for the edit judygram. I just copied and pasted the link but it works a lot better now!

Cibo is a beautiful girl! Welcome and God bless.

Good luck and God bless! 25 is young. I was still in school at 36 and am thinking of going back!

Hello and welcome to you and Wally!

Thanks anyway! I'd love to get some palm nuts to try. Pine nuts are one of Timber's favorites as well.

I'm not sure where that was going, Nancy will have to address what she meant. However, I have a question. Where do you get your palm nuts? mysafebirdstore.com has been out since I've been checking!

Off to a great start there Chris! As Dave said, time and calm are the key to adjustment in my mind.

oooo cool! I need one of those since my bird's name is Timber. Just ship it on!

Ouch! I can't imagine a macaw bite knowing how bad a TAG bite is. I guess the key is if his poop starts smelling different?

Good deal! The grey forum motto... never give up

Hello and welcome

Timber doesn't sing anything! I wish you all would post some videos of your birds' singing. Maybe it will inspire him.

Loved the video! They are so funny when bathing. I use a 9 x 13 heavy glass baking dish for Timber, and he spreads his wings and dips as much of himself in as he can, head first. I sure wish I could get a video of it, but Timber just stands there and stares at me every time I get the camera, and even my phone.

Hello and welcome Mike and Sammie! Post a pic when you get a chance so we can see your baby.

After that experience, she may be off walnuts for awhile anyway! Poor Chloe..
