Good to hear from you and Alfie again. Been really quiet around here. I'm guilty of that as I only come around when I want something, kind of like my Greys 😆

Greytness - Odie is an African Grey from my teens/early 20s. I'll probably update that thread when we get back.

Isn't this weird: I have been searching for these cages at least two years. In all that time I have never managed to get my hands on one. They're always too far away and won't ship or in once case the close one sold within minutes before I could get there. Some of you all may remember my post in 2019 about my long lost Odie bird who has lived with my aunt in New Mexico for the last 30 years. Well, in two days, I am heading to New Mexico to pickup my Odie since my aunt died and she specifically wanted and willed Odie back to me. Last night a cage popped up 20 miles from me and that's what is going to New Mexico to get my Odie. I have a hard time believing in coincidences when things this weird just happen.

Never found one. I did post on Avian Avenue - twice! Is that the post you are referring to? edit: nm, I see what you are talking about. That's a full size cage. I need the carrier, much smaller.

Thanks Greytness. I had one of those Prevue carriers before I discovered the Kings Cages. It got scrapped, way too heavy. I'm hoping I don't have to resort to one of those again.

That is the cage. THat page is either a scam or severly out of date. Check out the delivery date: 2020/08/28. THat date isn't written the way we write dates here in 'merica so it looks very fishy to me.

I'd definitely look at an alternative. I used to have one of the Pervue steel carriers and it was so damn heavy I scrapped it for steel when I found these aluminum carriers. Got any ideas?

You must be outside my 500 mile max marketplace search limit. I check the measurements, that's the small one. Not sure I would sleep a Grey in that one. Good for trip to the car/vet etc!

Talon, where did you find that? That might be the smallest version they used to make.

I am looking (for two years) for the Kings Cages aluminum travel cages that were discontinued by KingsCages during the pandemic. I have the medium one that we use as Huey's sleep cage since the big baby cannot sleep by himself (with the other birdies) in the aviary. He has to be next to momma otherwise he chews his feet. I have also moved Greycie into the bedroom on my side as she has night panics. It's terrifying to hear her thrashing around in her big cage and I'm sure one day I will lose her, so she now sleeps on a perch next to us. The problem now is, she has figured out how to flop into the bed in the middle of the night, sometimes I notice and put her back, sometimes I wake up with a Grey sleeping on my forehead. This is too dangerous so we are looking for a sleep cage for her. Below is what I'm after. I have had a CL and Farcebook MarketPlace watch for a couple of years and a few have popped up. Either they are too far away and won't ship or the one local I tried to snag got sold out from under me before I could get there. Let me know if you know anyone looking to sell!

I'm late too but Happy New Year! GreycieMae actually tanked up on eggnog news years day. What a piggy.

Sorry to hear about the recall. Found it humorous that your birds have you feeding them frozen waffles and only a certain brand. Who's running that show anyway?!? My birds have me trained on Honey Grahams. And we call them 'cookies' around here. They go wild when I ask 'who wants a cookie?'. GreycieMae will hang from the cabinet door where the cookies are stored.

Alfie looks like he has some Huey'tude. He has that grumpy old man look just like Huey.

Wow, Alfie went shopping! I would love to go to that and take my GreycieMae.

When I was stationed in California I rode through a quake. You always imagine what they are like and then when you are in one it's totally different. I remember the rise and fall of the building we were in and some back and forth in different directions. When it was over all the trees and street lights were swaying. Very weird experience.

Not sure why they have to be so darn cute.

I love how zon's talk and sing.

Talon, your home reminds me of that song "I'm gonna hire a wino" [to decorate our home]. Only it looks like you hired parrots. 🤣

We moved into a house with really high angled ceilings and haven't seen any crash landings. Are they actually crashing into the walls? Only think we've had issues with is a mirror on the wall in the living room that Huey and Seewee have mistaken for the door to the other section of the house and flew right into it. It now has a blanket on it.

I have to lock Huey up when I clean up those piles or do any messing around in 'HIS' bird room. He's very possessive of his room.

The Art: The Artist:

oh oh....I see some spoiled rotten Greys in this thread 🥰. Is that a green bean Timber has in there 🤣

You know that "tell us blah blah blah without telling us blah blah blah"? Grey version: "Tell us your Greys are completely spoiled rotten without telling us your Greys are completely spoiled rotten"

Who knew Timmies were such piggies 🤣

It's been super quiet around here. GreycieMae is busy teaching (and using) mommy to get her morning nut. If not fast enough she flies down to the floor and will start ankle biting or attacking a toe. She will actually lead Marietta to the door that leads into the cubboard where the nuts are stashed. When Marietta gets the nut, GreycieMae will then lead her to the counter where I have a casserole dish waiting and will crack the nut for them. Huey has taken up a new role as Chief-of-Organization. Marietta usually takes him in with her and they both get their faces put-on. Huey has taken to de-cluttering her pull-out drawer. He loves tossing hair scrunchies, glasses, anything paper or cardboard. The drawer looks real nice when he's done, but everything is on the floor I guess waiting for the trash man? Would love to see a video of Alfie's new noises. I love how they pick up stuff, especially anything laced with sarcasm. I think it's ingrained in them.
