That's pretty funny. Before I read that part, I was waiting to see if you were going to say the Grey started the vehicle. I'll have to think on this one. I've seen some pretty hilarious videos of Greys that are learning to operate those Amazon echo's. I think the funniest one was someone posted a video of them going through the grocery list and it was quite obvious who was adding items to the grocery list.

Thanks Howardine (I hope I remembered that right!). Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your Precious too! We are currently in the build process of the first of several cotton climbing nets to adorn the facilities. Now that my back porch is part of the aviary, I have help - lots and lots of help As with anything I do, the design takes agonizingly long compared to the actual build. In case anyone wants to know, a climbing rope box knot sucks up 5 inches out of every 12 on 1/2" rope Net looks kind of small in the pic but when done it should be 5'x5' with some overage on the ends. You know how danged expensive good climbing ropes are online and they're so small! Foster's & Smith current price on a 30"x30" is $45. I'd need three of those to cover the area of this one net I'm building. Plus their holes are too small for Greys.

Here you go @Ray P: two quick and dirtys. I'm in the middle of making some cotton climbing nets so don't have time to edit or anything... * Sorry about the size of the video. I haven't figured out what tags this new forum supports yet so I'm stuck with direct embed of the link and it does whatever the heck it wants with it. *

Tell Alfie he can come have a visit anytime!

Construction is finished and the paint is dry!!! Looks better with all the tools and stuff gone! We're not sure about the paint color though. I'm thinking of two-toning the wall the darker grey in a strip near the bottom. I still need to wire some lights and cameras into the soffits. We're totally in love with it. The birds - well Rio hates it. GreycieMae and Toby are exploring. Rio thinks his place is in the kitchen and it drives him bonkers that he can hear momma in the kitchen and he's not in the middle of it. Now I need to outfit it with safety screens and hang some toys/perches/ropes plant some safe plants, grow some rye grass... The double sliding glass door and walling in the existing porch was the smartest thing we did. Those weren't originally in the plans. We love it. GreycieMae's sunroom/aviary is now open for business!

Is it a bad thing that I'm having fun (starting yesterday!) spending time with my birds and wife? I guess technically I'm spending time with my family!

There has to be a sheet with that exact element chain in it that is being used. It's possible the themes have different style sheets with the same element styles - I've run into that. I change what I think is the right style only to find it hiding in another theme's stylesheet using the same classes. I'd do a global search on that 'ipsStreamItem_title' and 'ipsStreamItem_titleSmall' to see what sheets it pops up in. The h2 tag is using both in the class listing.

The element I quoted above is the one that's controlling the header title color. They're using the !important tag to override an inherited style. I can change the colors myself in the browser console using that element so I know it's the right one. Does Hot Pink suit this theme!

Dogs don't even react well to punishment. Dogs training works a lot better with rewards and most importantly praise. That's what dogs are all about.

This one is your huckleberry: If you change it to #2f262e, that matches somebirdy's neck feathers on the same page. But I ain't saying who

This topic just came up this morning on one of my FB groups. Some lady lost two of her birds due to new carpet in the house. Please be careful!!! I never knew that carpet was lethal...

Happy Hatchday Corky!!! She looks like a sweet baby.

^ That's cute!!!

Awww..Ming's a cutie. Cockatiels have so much personality packed into that little body it's unreal. I never knew they came without the overdone rouge. If our little Stevie could meet Ming, he'd ask him "whatchyadoin?"

Same here - the city was very lucky I didn't set my carpet on fire after I pulled that nasty stuff out of our house. Even without birds, I'd never go back to carpet, we're just not clean enough. Nobody wants to take their dang shoes off.

I never even noticed that. Looks like an issue with the Red Theme. I switched the Christmasy theme (very nice btw) and the titles are visible.

Well, he's kind of scared, new place, new people and all. Greycie is being a spoiled little brat with him but I can tell she doesn't hate him. She HATES Toby our Caique and stares steak knives at Toby. None of that with Huey.

He's a VERY quick learner. Me and Greycie were showing him our beat-boxing routine last night and he jumped right in with a drum beat. Unbelievable. Here's an "Im bored with this already but ill humor you again one last time" sample. You can hear his little drum beat twice in the video. Last night he was doing it right along to the beat with me and GreycieMae. It was so cute!

Looks like a couple pics didnt make the upload. This first pic, Huey just gave her that pasta she was all too willing to take from him.

Meet GreycieMae's new friend: Huey. He belongs to the fiancee of one of my wife's co-workers. They are getting married this weekend and heading to their honeymoon for a week. Not sure how it came about for us to watch Mr. Huey but I was all too eager to do it. Love seeing how Greycie reacts around another Grey. This is the first time she has seen another one since she left the breeder. He's a BIG boy. Holy cow is he heavy. No more jokes about what a fat lil fatty GreycieMae is. I think he's 20+. Has a bit of a chewing on his feet issue when he's stressed. He chewed them a little when we brought GreycieMae to see him after she left. So far they seem to be getting along - as in not trying to kill each other. Hes actual kind of sweet with her. GreycieMae being the spoiled brat, is a bit of a diva around him. Their first time in the aviary this morning and he was feeding her some pasta. Jeezzz...

Did I read that right? Alfie was offered some dinner and was not interested? Are you SURE you have an African Grey? A parrot even? I have never known a parrot to not be interested in dinner

Happy Hatchday Dorian. How old?
