Timbersmom

LOL same thing here. I made the mistake of buying a plain burlap colored biong and got the "if I step on that I will die" from Timber.

Glad you have already figured out who "rules the roost" there and just call him King now. I would have saved myself some grief if I'd been aware of that when I rehomed Timber. I was under the foolish misapprehension that I was the boss...

I'd love to see pics of your bengals neoow. I've always wanted one!

Hello and welcome to the forum! Echo is a cutie. I have four cats. They don't take as much interest in Timber as he does in them. That said, I'd never turn my back on any of them when they are out together.

Beautiful as always. I love seeing them in flight!

What a beautiful baby! He looks happy and healthy. Good luck and God bless

LOL Jeff, that was funny! I can see it too. It reminds me of when my kids were small and I dropped them at daycare. They would put on the saddest faces and sometimes cry. The sitter said that didn't last until I was out of the driveway.

That's great news!

Lovely pic of Nilah! Haaaa to the back alley thugs Sterling

That's a good plan. It is always best and quicker if you let them "discover" new items on their own and in their own time.

Very interesting! Thanks for posting

You will be as well prepared as you can be! That is great. I imagine it is like bringing your first human baby home. You read everything, make all your preparations, and they still manage to throw you a curve. Your preparations will give you a big head start though, in giving your baby a long, healthy, happy life. I wish I had been that prepared when I rehomed Timber.

Hello and welcome to you and your growing flock!

Don't let anyone push you into anything. We all have to grieve in our own way and at our own rate. Hang in there!

Another great video! Thanks for posting

Precious! I really enjoy watching her grow. Thanks for posting!

Looks like you did a great job!

I hung a long boing (rope perch) from the ceiling next to Timber's cage. He totally ignored it for 6 months. Then one day I walked into the room and he was sitting on it. Now, I have to replace it regularly (he chews on it all the time) and he uses it a lot. It can take a long time for them to accept a new item but don't give up! If it was inside his cage and making him fearful then it should definitely come out. If Timber seems afraid of a new toy, I put it on the counter where he can see it but isn't afraid of it. Then I periodically move it closer. That said, there have been many toys he has never "taken to." He gets over his fear but still isn't interested. Just like my children, I see things I think he will just love and he has no interest. Hold up a straw from the convenience store however, and he goes nuts for it. Go figure Also, welcome to you and Zazu! Tell us more about your life together and post some pics when you have a chance.

Another thing to consider is light. Does he get any sun or do you have a avian light for him? I have no experience with plucking (to date) but I've seen that mentioned in other posts.

Sorry for your loss!

Is Wilbur thinking "dinner" as he watches the fish? Good to hear from you and I'm glad things are going to well. Love the pics, especially that big, beautiful tail spread!

Hello and welcome to you and Toby Thank you for giving Toby a new lease on life. Has he came out of the cage yet! As the others said, he will take his time adjusting to his new environment. I had to laugh when I read the list of "things" Toby likes to eat. They are just like we are that way, their favorites are what isn't good for them.

What a sweetheart! Love the pics and thanks for the update. So pleased to hear things are going well for you both

She's so sweet! It's great to get those pics for sure, but I'll bet it just adds to your desire to get your hands on her!

Sounds like you are making great progress! I haven't really made an attempt to get a harness on Timber because we have a large hawk population and I couldn't let him fly safely outside (not that he is much of a flier anyway but I'd like to let him try). You are doing great though!
