Timbersmom

I have the pack-o-bird. I got the one made for African greys. Unfortunately, Timber hates it (or any other carrier) but it is well made and big enough for him. It comes with two small bowls and shade type covers on the three open sides.

Interesting! Please keep us posted.

I also make soap. I have a back, screened in porch. I measure my FO or EO out on the porch and leave it there while I make the soap. When it's time to add it, I take the pot to the porch and stir it in. Then I take it back in the house and mold it. We haven't had any problems. I have a large, old, and well-ventilated house though. If I was in a small area (like an apartment) it might be different. I also mix my lye and liquid on the porch and don't bring it in until the fumes are gone. As to candles, I gave them up when I got Timber. Since I'd read I couldn't burn them (or use on a warmer like I did) I just quit making them. I'm no expert, but that is what works for us!

LOL Absolutely agree...

Haaaaaa probably voted absentee and didn't tell you!

I just have no words to express my sorrow. You did all the right things. God's peace to you.

Hello and welcome to you and Ava! Keep us posted, ask anything you want, and post pics. God bless

I use the floor lamp and avian light bulb in your pic. Timber doesn't get any natural sun either, and they need it. As to the heating items, I have no idea. My house is between 62 and 80, and hasn't been a problem.

What a sweetheart! I've never had a bird who tried to get on my head, so have no experience with that.

Great news Nancy! Glad Ollie is well and everything worked out

Praying that all turns out well!

Interesting. I've been trying to find a way out of sproutpeoples high prices.

That looks fantastic!

Yes, I think it is exactly the same one. It isn't a puzzle for him, but he loves it anyway. Sometimes he hangs on it and eats, sometimes he plays with it like in the video. I knew someone had asked about them but couldn't remember who! That's one of the reasons I posted it. The tube bells are stainless and I found them at the bird fair. They are indestructible and great!

LOL Still trying to figure it out! Try this...

Ugh again. Oh well, I'll try something else later!

Not really a diary, but many just start a thread and keep adding to it! Since the posts are dated, you can look back any time and read your older threads from the beginning, so it serves the same purpose.

Ugh. I sure feel for you. My sciatic nerve has been giving me fits, but not to the point yours has!

OK, changed the setting to public. Hope it is visible now!

Ugh, thanks. I didn't think about the facebook thing. I'll try again!

Wow, the quality was a lot better on my phone! Ugh.

I'm trying to post a video of Timber and his forage ball play. Here goes nothing! https://www.facebook.com/Yomamma777/videos/1277489455602001/

What a sweet pic! Congrats

Timber loves his boing, but not when I replace it (he shreds on it and it has to be replaced periodically so he doesn't get his talons tangled in the threads). Even if I buy the exact color etc., he looks at it like it is the devil for almost a week. Charlie will warm up to it, you are doing it right just letting him get used to it until he is ready!

That's the truth. I get 95% of my bird stuff online, the other 5% at the annual bird fair about an hour from me.
