Timbersmom

Beautiful pictures! Like Nancy, I love that last one with the full wing spread. May 23 will be here before you know it!

LOL Priceless!

I'm in the same boat Acappella. Timber is fully feathered now but does not try to fly. I think he never fledged. He did startle a couple of months and actually flew UP to another area of this cage (from his rope perch, just a couple of feet), but other than that he doesn't attempt flight. I have had him 3 years and our relationship is good, but I'm not going to scare him or push him. He seems content and that's all that concerns me.

Hello and welcome! I think you should choose the name you like best... Where are you getting her? A breeder, a pet store, where?

As to how long it takes to figure it out, that depends on the bird. I would leave it in the cage and let him ponder it. The only thing I have to watch is keeping the treats inside fresh if Timber hasn't eaten them. As to food, Timber's fresh food comes out after 3 hours (what he hasn't eaten). His seed mix and nutriberries stay in all day. I also leave the fresh veggies on his skewer in the cage for more than the 3 hour limit. I'm not sure how others feel about that, but vegetables often sit outside and at room temp for long periods of time before they get to the grocer and I don't think there is a risk there. I'm talking peas in the pod type veggies here.

Same here, I boil them. Then I either mash them or do a fine dice.

I loved this one and couldn't resist posting!

What great pictures! I can imagine your excitement, and can't wait to hear about her first day home

We don't have a bird mart, but we do have a bird fair within driving distance about 3 times a year. Love them! I order so many things online, but there is no substitute for being able to see it in person.

Excellent post!

Love videos like this! Thanks for posting

Wow, how many birds are in your flock?

So sorry for your loss!

Very nice pics! Nice refinish job on the chair there Echo. Think you missed a couple spots though

Great video! Thanks for posting.

Same as everyone else on the peanuts. Good luck with the pistachios. I guess I am the only one on the forum with a bird that doesn't like them! <sniff>

LOL loved the pic! She looks so proud of herself...

Hello and welcome! Excellent pics, thanks for posting

Hello and welcome to you and your new grey! As others have said, the stickies have a lot of good information. Many of us are rehomers, so ask anything you want. There's an excellent chance someone on the forum will have experience with whatever situation arises. Good luck and God bless

Awwww what a sweet face!

Happy birthday Bailey!

Funny! I can't imagine bullfrogs bothering someone. Of course I was raised in the country so maybe it is a city thang...

Madi, it's hard to resist. However, when I realized how much attention Timber requires, not to mention the money for food, vet bills, toys, etc. I've managed to resist I'm not saying I will be able to hold out forever, but for now I'm standing strong! I've always had pets. I have four housecats now. However, a grey is a whole different prospect! The cats are much more independent. Timber is like a child. He wants all my attention all the time. You'll understand when you have your new baby. I have a great deal of respect for the multiple bird owners on the forum. As I said, I may have another myself one day. For now though, I'm content to focus on Timber, which is his preference too I believe.

Happy hatchday Alfie!

I used to ride bikes back in the day... my thought as I was watching these videos was what if the bird startled, started flapping, flew etc.? One slip and as Greywings said, done.
