Timbersmom

Hello and welcome to you and Zeke! We would love to see some pics.

I see them! Mama Mia looks great!

I like the "Gracie Mae Meadows"

I've also read here that if they are grinding their beak they are content. This is actually a question I've asked myself. I mean your question, is Timber (in my case) really happy? I can tell he is content at times, I can tell he is excited at times, I can tell when he is upset or angry. But happy? I wish I knew.

oooooo love the baby pictures! What a glorious adventure you have ahead of you!

Well I did eggs, mashed sweet potato and a banana. I didn't get a total rejection, but he wasn't as excited as I hoped. I may have to try another mixup.

Yes, as the others have pointed out, not being the "chosen one" doesn't mean you can't have a good relationship. It takes time and patience though.

I'm not giving up, thanks for the encouragement! That's why I enjoy reading about Miss Gilbert so much. She is an encouragement to us all. I really don't think Timber every fledged. He always looks so surprised when he flies, and doesn't seem to know he should be flying. I still hope that with time he will figure it out

Wow, what a find! Lots of good info there.

Sully's looking good as usual! He seems to be liking the perch.

Hello and welcome to you and Mama Mia! I also hope you will post pics. I am lousy with photography, but like a proud parent I post them anyway

Looks to me like it would work. Would you concrete the poles in I assume? Considering all the navigating they have to do to fly around inside a house, I wouldn't think the beams would be much of a risk either.

She is making great progress! I've been hoping Timber would take flight again, but so far he hasn't.

Hope you can figure out how to get a picture up, we all like to see aviaries! Most of us are looking for ideas we can make work if we don't already have one.

Progress indeed! It is so satisfying to watch them come out of their "shell."

Neat video! I haven't seen too many of Amazons in action. Thanks for posting

Hello and welcome to you and Bella! Just leave the cage door open and Bella will come out when she is ready. As the others said, it takes time. Just be patient and give her plenty of time to settle in and get used to you and her new environment.

I did not know that Ray. More than I would have thought!

I'm going to give it a shot. Timber is sooooo picky!

Good to know!

Or, maybe you are now dubbed "boo boo" rather than "Lulu"

LOL Loved the pic!

Great news about the good report on the bloodwork! That is always such a relief. They seem to be doing very well together. Keeping my fingers crossed

LOL! Timber does similar sometimes but I swear he is just mocking me, and not in a nice way!

LOL No, he is feeling comfortable and secure now. Let the real Peck stand up!
