Timbersmom

Hello and welcome to you, Izzy and your cats! So sorry to hear of your loss. What a tragedy. Looking forward to hearing more about you and your "flock."

Excellent post.

Now that you've mastered your first trick, your bird will expect you to learn the next one more quickly.

Good video! What a pleasure Sully is

Pretty birds!

^^ truth, always

I haven't seen anything on the forum (which I trust since the people here have birds in their home) about gender being an issue in temperament. In fact, some of us still don't know the gender of our rehome (for example). As Sterling said, gender doesn't seem to mean much. It is more of a personality thing, much like people. How excited you must be! Can't wait to see pics after your visit. Good luck and God bless

Sweet deal! I'm a Craig's List fan myself.

Absolutely no help here, but I'm commenting to bring this back to the top. Dave007 is probably the one who can tell you what to do. If he doesn't respond soon, send him a message. Good luck an God bless!

I always keep the dreaded towel within reach for emergencies. You just never know.

At 13 months many would say she still IS a baby. My TAG is now 7 and he still makes baby bird noises when he wants a bite of something I'm eating. He also loves eating warm things off a spoon and does the head bob thing.

Hello Darci, and welcome to you and Shadow! Welcome to the cats also. I have four of those too. As the others said, patience, patience, patience. Shadow is beautiful! Can't wait to hear about your life together and your progress. To your question about toys, it will depend on Shadow's preference. Timber, who is a TAG, prefers adding machine tape rolls, plastic straws, and bells (lots of bells). Some like to chew wood, but Timber doesn't. He does love chewing on his rope perches. For foraging, his favorite is a sturdy cardboard box (small) stuffed with shredded paper, treats, etc.

You do it however they will eat it. I chop some up fine and mix with other things I know he will eat. A type of "chop" which you can find here on the forum if you use the search. I also thread big pieces through his cage bars or stick them on the skewer with other things. This has only moderate success. You just need to keep playing with it until you find a way to sneak them in if your bird doesn't like them (mine doesn't particularly). I will mix chopped spinach in his birdie bread, scrambled egg, etc. etc. FYI I am addressing greens here...

As for corn on the cob, I serve it to Timber raw and he likes it. Always make sure you wash appropriately since pesticides can be deadly to you birds. I hang about 1/4 of an ear on Timber's skewer in his cage and he strips it right off.

LOL Starving birdie indeed!

Here's another story with a happy ending. Right at Father's Day too! http://www.kfvs12.com/story/25771046/woman-mistakes-child-in-distress-for-missing-parrott

Loved the video! Sterling, I fight that same problem every day...

I must confess, now that I have retired my thoughts turn more and more to an Amazon. I'll be interested to read this Ray!

I can view it now. No help here, no baby experience. Someone will be along with input What a cutie though!

youtube says video is private.

What a beautiful baby! Love those dark eyes...

2birds, your baby will like what he likes. I'm not sure Timber has a favorite color, but I know he hates orange!

This one I can see! Nice cage!

The pic says private and I can't view. Congratulations on your new baby! I don't have baby experience so your question about the hole will be answered by someone with more experience. How exciting for you!

What a good boy indeed! Loved the video
