Timbersmom

What great news! I am so pleased for you and Escher.

LOL Cute! If I squeezed Timber like that I would be the one doing the squeaking. He loves scratches, but is very particular about how and where!

I think they look great!

Neat videos, thanks for sharing!

I think it depends on the layout of your home. I live in a very large, 1915 vintage home with no central A/C and a boiler (radiators in each room). Timber is on the first story. I do use air freshener type products on the second floor and in the basement and I don't think any of that comes near Timber. I avoid using anything like that in his room or the ones adjoining. I agree with the better safe than sorry way of looking at things, but in my particular case I don't think there is any problem.

Loved the video! Alfie has a nice assortment of sounds effects, and I like the way he uses different "voices" for different words. Thanks for sharing

That's a beautiful story Inara! Thanks for sharing

Fascinating! Thanks for sharing

Good deal! Most of Timber's people language I have only heard via the cam. When I am in the room, he is mostly silent or whistling. When I leave the room, he talks but I can't hear much of it.

That was great! Alfie is an excellent "quacker"

Yes and amen.

Looking good!

What a story and what a relief for you to have found Gabby! Good luck with the new baby and getting Gabby "resettled." Keep us posted and upload some pics when you can!

I think you are on to something there Acappella! I hadn't thought about that, but it is true of Timber too. He always preens after taking a full bath (his idea). He seems to enjoy being sprayed, but often drips dry after that.

I continue to have a "yearning" for an Amazon. Timber is so needy and takes so much time that adding another bird worries me. I'm not sure he could handle the competition! However, if a situation presents itself and there is an Amazon needing a home I suspect I wouldn't say no...

LOL What a great video! Kilaya looks like king of his domain in the spoon video! What a spoiled baby. Like most on this forum!

I have no experience with dlink but I know it is one of the major brands. I imagine it will work fine for you! I have to say that I love being able to take a peek at Timber from wherever I am. It is so reassuring.

I'm pretty sure Nancy has mentioned her grey having a thing for her son's toes.. the point being I've heard this before on the forum! My opinion, and there will probably be others, is just to let her be and let her commune with your feet.

Timber is off and on with the preening. Sometimes he does, sometimes he appears to "drip-dry" as well. It probably just depends on what he feels need doing at the time!

It's so cool to hear them start talking! You may have an early talker there. It certainly isn't unheard of. My first thought was that, just like a toddler saying "no" to everything, Poet will say "I don't want to" to everything you say

I have this one http://www.amazon.com/Foscam-FI8910W-Network-Camera-Two-Way/dp/B006ZP8UOW/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1409337868&sr=8-2&keywords=foscam+ip+camera You can view it on any computer, phone or tablet. The setup can be a bit tricky, but I'm not a tech and I managed to do it. I didn't use the motion activation feature, mainly because I didn't know if it would work well at the range from Timber that it was an I have four cats milling around too. Sterling has a later model. Hopefully he will chime in here. I think his has more features than mine, which is older. That said, I love it! I can also record segments of him talking or doing something I want to video.

That is truly horrible, on top of the finger! When it rains it pours indeed.

LOL Can you imagine the temperament of an AmaGrey?

They are so smart! We always underrate their ability to empathize and comfort. Loved this story

What beautiful pics and what a precious baby!
