Timbersmom

You did such a great job! Love all the pics and the movie, thanks for sharing

LOL! What an exciting life you lead. The fids were probably thinking, "they've really lost it this time..."

1. I have been in 48 states (not N. Dakota or Hawaii), Canada and Mexico but have never traveled overseas. 2. I have three sons and 3 grandsons (so far), four male cats and a male bird. That means I am definitely the queen, no other females here! 3. I am ranked in the top 3% of bass players on Rock Band III (X-box). 4. I make my own bath soap, laundry soap, body lotion, candles, tarts etc. It's a hobby. 5. I have always wanted to open a restaurant since I love to cook, but don't want the hassle and risk involved.

Europa looks interested, involved and comfortable. Great pics, thanks for sharing

Love the baby pics! How sweet. Almost persuades me (glance down at recently bitten arm) but not quite

Interesting!

Loved the videos! How is Kilaya doing with your wife? Has the situation improved?

Haaaa you might as well load the gun! Such fun though isn't it?

LOL Loved it!

Well trained indeed... Timber doesn't want to sit at the table with us and eat from a plate. He prefers to go to the peak of his cage and making little baby bird cheeping sounds until one of us brings him a bite. If we don't get there fast enough, he latches onto the bars and rattles the cage hard enough to make a metal clanging noise until we get there. I'm afraid to see what he would do if you didn't bring him a bite in response to that! Don't think I want to find out.

LOL to the poop Sterling but isn't it the truth!

Pretty bird! It's funny, I looked at the second pic then looked up. Timber is sitting on his door with one foot up just like that!

That sounds horrible! What a thing to wake up to indeed. I have to say that my first thought when coming downstairs in the morning is "sure hope Timber is OK," even though I have no reason to believe he won't be. Considering the size of your flock, I really don't know how you do it!

Hello and welcome to you and your flock! Love those baby pics...

Enjoyed the pics and the video! What a crew...

Congratulations and thanks for your hard work! You are appreciated

I saw you mention that the temp was 80 inside the cage. I've I'm not mistaken, most here make sure their bird's area stays above 60. My only point here is that your grey will acclimate and it doesn't have to be 80 to keep him healthy. It's possible that I misunderstood what you were saying in that post, if so, just disregard this!

Hello and welcome to you and Coku!

What is the temp inside your house? You gave the temp outside but I was wondering how cold it is in the house. I'm getting a better grasp of the problem you have now.

How cold is it where your CAG's cage is? They can adapt to a pretty broad temperature range.

Hello and welcome Joe! Post some pics of your girl when you get a chance, we love pics!

Haaaa funny! Timber does the "damn bird" too. Not sure where he learned it or if he came up with it himself, but he says it with relish. I haven't heard any phrases that he has put together like that himself, mainly because he does most of his talking when I'm in the other room and can't make out what he is saying. Knowing how intelligent they are though, do you wonder if Sterling Gris knows exactly what he is saying? I do. They seem to have a wicked sense of humor.

Glad you are home safe, Nancy, and glad you had a great time!

Happy hatchday Talon! Talon is the same age as my granddaughter. Time does fly too quickly.

Hello and welcome to you and Peatree! It sounds like you have an adventure ahead of you. As you said, let things progress at Peatree's rate. It takes time to build trust, and slower is better. You are off to a great start! He will start coming out as he acclimates to his new environment an "flock" (you and your family). You might want to spend some time sitting by his cage speaking softly to him or even reading. God luck and God bless
