Timbersmom

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

What a story! I saw that on facebook earlier. Who would have thought after all that time they would find him!

So sorry you lost Caesar! I am also sorry to hear of your other personal loss. God bless!

LOL love the "of course!"

Yes he is! Beautiful baby

Happy hatchday Kizzy!

That's exciting news! Glad you found the baby you were looking for

Great pictures of Greycie doing her daily chores! Thanks for sharing

Good information, thanks Dave!

The aviary looks fantastic! Lucky birds...

I feel for you Nancy. Every time we go somewhere I worry more about Timber than anything else. Like Sean said, I'm sure all will be fine. They always know when something is up, and don't like it when you leave!

I use this: http://www.amazon.com/BestAir-3BT-6-Humidifier-Bacteriostatic-Treatment/dp/B000CMHLMG/ref=sr_1_1?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1412365563&sr=1-1&keywords=humidifier+bacteriostatic+water+treatment There is a lot of disagreement about safety. However, my chemistry major son's opinion was that since the humidifier is evaporative (it isn't recommended for other types) That the chemical in the bacteriostatic stuff would NOT become air-borne. I've used it for two years with no problem. I certainly wouldn't use a humidifer without it, because of the bacteria and mold growth that can take place. This stuff seems to eliminate slime and buildup, so I'm good with it. Others may disagree.

I use a bactericide in my humidifer as well, I just don't know anything about citricidal

Loved the video! What a character Sully is

Wow, he's doing great! I always enjoy watching your videos

Looking good! It'll be worth the time and aggravation when it's finished. That's what I always tell myself on my home projects at any rate...
