Truth there. I'm always having to tempt Timber's appetite (he is on the thin side and picky). He has decided he prefers me to spoon feed home just about everything. Yes, I've created a monster!
I was thinking the same. For a grey, the whole roll is a little large. I had thought of using another type, like ziti, or cutting the lasagna strips in half to make them smaller next time. Timber won't eat uncooked either, and the ones like that I tried stuffing for him were a total failure.
Sounds like things are going great! Not sure what you mean be a therapy perch. My vet said not to use the sandpaper type perches because they are too hard on their feet. There are probably varying opinions on that though. Timber has a variety of sizes and materials of perches. He does have a concrete one, which the vet said was fine and might help with nail grooming.
Mine turned out pretty well. I found that a thinner layer of filling worked best. Timber was somewhat interested, which is good for him. I have to tempt his appetite. I used the recipe as it appears except for using hemp seed instead of walnuts.
Sterling is a beauty! I saw some 5 week old baby CAG's at the bird fair. What a struggle it was not to bring all of them home! Not that I would bring them home at that age, but babies are so tempting to me...
So sorry Nancy! People who aren't animal lovers don't understand how you feel, but we do! It is so very difficult to lose a beloved companion. God bless.
It is not unusual for Timber to have an abrasion on his face. He gets them from rough play with toys and sometimes from scratching that area with his foot or on objects. I just watch them. However, if I ever suspected one wasn't looking better soon or looked questionable, I'd be hot footing it to the vet.
Hello and welcome! I have only one bird so have no advice for you about their interaction. However, there are several members with multiple greys. I'm sure one of them will chime in! Good luck and God bless
What great news! Sorry to hear about your illness. You just never know what tomorrow holds! I have often wondered about the instinct that birds (and my cats for the matter) seem to have before we know anything is wrong...
Haaaa! If the pic was correct, that was a timneh too. I'm not letting Timber listen, I don't want him getting any ideas about seeking fame and fortune!
