  1. Wonder how long it will be before he becomes the Frankster, the Steinmaster, or just Frankie? Between my kids and hubby, Timber is the Timbird, the Timster, the little monster, your highness, or often, that BIRD!
  2. Good for Gilbert! What a difference from just a few short months ago.
  3. Nancy, Timber was scared of the mini pumkin. Even a mini is pretty big to them. Just depends on the bird I guess!
  4. LOL The cheese works with Timber every time! I don't use it often but it is good to have something that ALWAYS works.
  5. Thanks for checking in Karen and Sam! Glad you and the family are doing well.
  6. He's a beautiful baby! I'm a newbie, but someone with experience will come along and give you some advice.
  7. Hello and welcome! Glad to see you and your baby here. Good luck and blessings
  8. I will probably end up ordering one of those. I suspect that Timber, like Gilbert, will not jump right on it. Anything new, be it perch or toy, has to go through a period of him ignoring or even disliking it. Thanks for the info.
  9. Good to hear from you and glad you and Isaac are doing well!
  10. LOL Yes, I should have said he was mean. It did cross my mind to say it was my odd and occasionally violent hubby to serve as a deterrent for future callers, but I thought better of that.
  11. Good point luvparrots! Timber doesn't bite often, but when he does it is often a blood-drawer.
  12. When I got home the other evening, there was a lady on my porch. I didn't know her, and she was explaining why she had stopped by (fundraiser). Timber could hear me on the porch. As soon as I get out of the car, I hear him whistling. Anyway, I guess he got tired of waiting for me to get inside and started running through his repertoire of noises (whistles, clicks, beeps, squeals). As you all know, they can get LOUD. The lady's head kept swiveling around and she finally said "what on earth is that?" Ha. "Just my bird," says I. Hopefully she will pass the word to fellow sales/fundraiser types to avoid that house on the corner...
  13. Ahhh.. sweet success! As to the heated perches, I've been looking at those as well. Timber likes to chew on things on the outside of his cage, so I was concerned that he would "get" the cord on the outside of the cage. Do you have the kind that plugs in or is there any other kind?
  14. LOL Excellent video! Thanks for sharing
  15. I hope your wrist heals quickly. I was just thinking the other day that someone with a bleeding disorder or someone who heals slowly probably shouldn't own a bird! Ha.
  16. Yes, what Jeff said. They will get over it. Hang in there and keep the faith! I can remember a couple of times after I rehomed Timber that I was at my wit's end, and was thinking I made a horrible mistake. However, slow and steady wins the day with greys. They seem to take a lot longer to adjust and adapt than most other animals, which is why you see "grey time" on the forum so often.
  17. Glad to hear all is well Sassy. With Timber and I, the occasional chomp of displeasure is a fact of life! Relieved to hear your power is on and Neytiri is home though
  18. Maybe Maverick will start liking them as he gets older, then again maybe not! There aren't too many grey behaviors/likes/dislikes that fit a mold. They are all very individual, which is what makes them so much fun
  19. Yikes, can't see it Katie! Shows as a broken link.
  20. Love the Jungle chicken! Haaa
  21. Wow, I wonder if a squirrel did hide it? How bizarre.
  22. LOL That's probably exactly what he is doing! Timber doesn't care much for other toys, but loves those bells. One hangs near his door and he rings it when he comes out of the cage. Then he rings it again when it's time to go in. It he gets aggravated he rings it, if someone comes in that he likes he rings it, in other words, he rings it to mark every event all day long!
  23. Good to hear from you Sassy! What a relief that the power is back on.
  24. LOL! Question though, noone guessed who Biscotti is dressed as??
