Timbersmom

Great pics! Thanks for sharing

I had to replace my humidifier this year and got this one http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00826ORV2/ref=oh_details_o07_s01_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Really pleased so far. It lets you set the humidity you want in the room and kicks on and off automatically, which is why I was willing to pay the $79. Lots of choices out there, and like Dan said you can get something that will do the job at Walmart.

Whew, great news! It's always a relief to hear physical causes are ruled out.

Interesting you said that about nutriberries Muse. Timber is, unfortunately, a nutriberry bird. I tried every worthwhile pellet and got a resounding "no way." He would eat the nutriberries so that is what he gets. He also gets a lot of other things, so they aren't the total of his diet. However, he hasn't been eating them well since I started the new batch. Very interesting to see someone else has similar concerns...

I have both of those and yes, they are safe. Be sure to follow Dan's advice about how to introduce them. Good luck!

Yes, we were just "testing the waters" when we bought this one. If we keep using it like we do now, I might take the plunge and get a nice one like yours Muse! So far, it is holding up well. We've been using it for about 6 months. I suspect it won't last for the long haul. In items like this, I think there is a lot of truth in "you get what you pay for."

Cool pics, thanks! Glad all is going well for you. I think having a grey for a roommate is a never-ending learning experience

LOL! Think I'll try that if I ever try to learn again. Whatever I was doing last time didn't work

No worries! As a parront, I find myself panicking all the time over what usually turns out to be nothing. Seems like it was easier with my kids!

Very nice pics Ray, thanks for sharing

I wish I could help but I have no experience with this issue so have nothing to say. Hopefully someone with experience will come along soon!

Wishing all the forum members a blessed Christmas and a prosperous new year! God bless you, each and every one

I leave the toys and perches. I clean the perches with the steam and run it over the toys too. The toys come out for washing, but I figure the steam gives them a little disinfect. The length of time you focus the steam determines how wet it gets, so cardboard type toys just get a sweep. The only time I remove them is if they are in my way in an area I'm cleaning. Most of the time I can just hold them up. Most of the steam can be directed into the cage. I let the paper in the bottom cage any runoff in there and change it after. I pull the cage away from the wall to do the back side, so that most of the runoff goes in the bottom tray. What little moisture is on the floor is on tile in my case, so I just wipe it up with a paper towel. Could just put newspaper around it too to avoid that. Maybe someone else will chime in with their experience. I know others here use steamers.

I don't. Of course, mine probably isn't as powerful as the one Muse got (probably less output). It gets the job done a lot easier though.

Sounds nice! I got this one http://www.wayfair.com/Gruene-Clean-System-Steam-Mop-and-Hand-Held-Steamer-with-Exclusive-Multi-Purpose-Attachments-GR-2N1-GRUE1000.html several months ago. We are very pleased with it so far. Works great on the cage and on the hardwood and tile floors.

Joey sounds like Timber. I could tell he wanted to be touched, but he didn't trust me enough. I suspect that given time, Joey will turn out to be a cuddle muffin like Timber is. It does take time though, just just let it move at his pace. Enjoyed the pics as well. Joey seems very comfortable sitting on your arm, which is great. It took several weeks for me to get that far with Timber. Keep up the good work

I just use ipcam's free software to view my cam.

Happy hatchday and I wish you many more Marco!

Hello and welcome! I have a Timneh who is my first so I don't have any input on choosing between the two. Happy hunting and God bless

They ran this at church Sunday morning. It's great!

No, but Timber doesn't fly so doesn't get up where the camera is. Also, since I have cats I am always with him when he is out. The cam connects wirelessly through the router. I access it from my work desktop and from my cellphone and Kindle.

Enjoyed the Christmas pics. Thanks for sharing

Pretty bird! Thanks for sharing

As Sheldon said, I put lemon and orange peel in a pan on the stove with plenty of water. I add a cinnamon stick and cloves.

Hello welcome! As MK said, post more information as indicated and you will get more responses.
