Timbersmom

Hello and welcome to you and Isaac. Please post some pics and tell us more about your life together. I imagine you have some parrot stories yourself!

I will be glad to come to Hawaii and stay with you robopetz! I may not be that cute but I can cook...

Handsome indeed! Good pic, thanks for sharing

Loved the pics and the video! Aren't those cameras great? When I was still working (I retired last year) it was so nice to be able to click over to Timber's video feed. I could see that he was OK and see how he spent his day.

Loved the pic and the video!

Hello and welcome to you and Ruby! She is still very young and I'll bet those muffled sentences will soon be understandable. Looking forward to hearing more about Ruby. I have a TAG also

Hello and welcome! Please post some pics and tell us more about your life with your fids

Hello and welcome to you and Ally! If you have any questions just ask. Someone here has experience with just about every situation/condition/behavior you might see. I'm looking forward to hearing how things go when you get Ally home. I'm sorry to hear that his owner could no longer care for him, but glad you are there to give him a good home! Good luck and God bless.

Very nice!

Whew, so glad to read this! As others have said, I'd get him checked out if possible. Personally, I'd rather pay the vet bill than stress over what it could have been, if it might happen again, etc. etc.

So sorry to hear this! I am just seeing it and hope everything is OK. Please keep us posted.

Glad everything is OK! I just saw this. I totally understand how you feel. Every time Timber does something "out of the norm" I watch him like a hawk and worry. Better safe than sorry though I say.

What a cutie! I've never seen a grey that didn't love the "bat bird" pose

Hello and welcome! I am looking forward to hearing more about your life together. He's a handsome fellow!

I love that face!

LOL What a clown!

Awwww sweet! Timber will cuddle like that. I've tried to video but my phone makes him nervous. I haven't given up though!

LOL Pretty obvious to me and I'm not even belong to an Amazon!

Greys are often very change resistant. He may not be feeling safe in his new spot, especially if it is more open than the previous one. I have to tell you that Timber would have a fit if I moved his cage. He doesn't react well to any change in his environment, and especially to cage changes. It took him months to accept his new cage. He stayed in his small, older rust bucket until he was ready for the new one. The night light may help, or you might consider a cage cover at bedtime? If he isn't used to a cover that could just make things worse.

Hello and welcome to you and Congo! I'm looking forward to hearing more about your life together. 25 years is a long time!

I agree, go for it Ray! Our beloved companions can never be replaced, but a new one warms that empty place in our heart and quickly make their own place.

Great to hear from you! So glad things are going well. Neat pic too, you can tell he has "personality!"

Loved the video! Many of us wish our birds were as happy to bathe...

I feel for you Nancy! I'm glad you had Sophie there for comfort. In raising 3 boys, the hardest thing for me to do was take my hands off of them. They are going to do what they are going to do, and you can't do it for them. That was so hard for me! However, I finally learned to put it in God's hands and let it go.

Excellent information from Sterling. I am no pro but I can tell you that be it baby, rehome or rescue, these birds are very much individuals. One of their attractions is they have so much personality! From my own experience and what I have read here and other places, you will not know the bird's temperament, personality and quirks (whether baby or older bird) until you have gotten to know them and they have adjusted to your home environment. Most of us love them anyway, just the way they are. It is like having a child... you can't guarantee if your baby will be affectionate, reserved, clownish, shy, etc. etc. as they mature, but you love them anyway.
