Timbersmom

Wow, I can't believe you have to wait 6 weeks. Hang in there! Wish I lived closer, I'd come over and do what I could to help out.

LOL my thoughts exactly. He has "enough with the camera already" expression!

I don't think Timber ever fledged either. I've had him almost 4 years, he hasn't been clipped, and he still just glides down when he takes flight.

No problems with the video here.

What great pics and videos! What a beautiful baby.

Cheese... obviously needs cheese... Love this one!

Looking great!

Bells, greys love their bells. Make sure you get stainless steel for safety and durability.

That's great news!

That's a great pic! The wire is nice too but I really like the one of the birds

Hello and welcome! There is no experience I have had that compares to life with a grey. It just gets better

I feel for you! I have sciatic nerve problems too. Mine as debilitating as yours, but I've leaned on that cart many times to get some relief when shopping. I haven't tried acupuncture for that, but I did have it for my shoulder and it was the only thing that helped (doc said I need shoulder replacement, no thank you). My chiropractor does it, and though my insurance doesn't cover it he just included it with my other treatments and I just had to pay my copay. Hope you are better soon!

Good luck and God bless! It will be challenging, but worth it!

Glad you were able to get it cancelled and refunded!

That is looking great!

Love the Greycie videos!

Timber actually spends quite a bit of time on the bottom of his cage... goring his artichoke, chasing his ball etc. I am in the "get as big as you can afford and have space for camp." Timber's cage is very large and he uses all of it. As Talon said, when you get all the perches, bowls and toys in you want to make sure there is plenty of room for your bird.

LOL bet it still made your heart glad to hear!

Fantastic! Fingers crossed

I have to say that I was shocked to read that someone was considering having a healthy bird euthanized. I can't imagine any circumstance except a painful, terminal illness where I would consider this option for any living, sentient being. I've given some thought to where Timber would go when my husband and I "pass." All of my boys have expressed an interest in taking Timber, and I would trust any of them to do their very best for him. Greywings also pointed out some excellent options. Since I am a rehomer, I know that adjustments are slow and often not easy. I'd like to think that many like myself and others on the forum do their very best to give their birds a loving, healthy home. I'd also like to think there are more of us in the world than the kind who see birds as a novelty. While it's a slow process, birds, like humans, can learn to love again and form a bond with their new caretaker. I am very pro-life when it comes to animals and people. I'd hate to think that the chance of a happy life would be taken away because of the fear of a bad life. Just my thoughts..

Sounds like Gilbert is glad to be home! She has made a lot of progress in this last year

I sure hope it is an oil gland! I'm sorry to hear Cocaba is not doing well. No matter how old they are, it's never easy.

Progress!

Good luck in your search! I have a Timneh but I rehomed him. There are no breeders I am familiar with so no recommendations here, but hopefully someone will come along with useful information for you.

Hang in there! If I've learned one thing, it is that they are often very slowwww to trust and adapt. 10 days is nothing in grey time....
