oh. my. ghord. How did you teach him to do that? I swear, my bird must be at the far left outlier when it comes to Grey smarts.

Spoil that girl extra rotten. Hope she's keeping cool under this massive heat dome!!!

I love it when GreycieMae waddles on the floor. She also has the cutest little hunker down and run/hop. Soo so cute....

Pics of those other critters would be cool too. Not sure I've ever seen a pet Red Fox.

Nothing comes up 'Tower Mister by Orbitz'. Is this what you are referring to: Orbit ArizonaMist

Kane - isnt' that the little macaw you were raising. Has it truly been a year already. Crap! Happy Hatchday Kane!

Looks very similar to the ubiquitous cage I use for Greycie. Does the top tray come off so it has an open top? Sometimes I feel it helps 'expand' their space if the top is open and airy. One other thing I would check is the casters and the connection between the casters and the cage legs. Those usually will go bad first.

That looks like a Pervue Hendryx rope ladder. My safe bird store sells those and probably used by lots of birds. I'm leaning towards safe. There are bird safe glues.

Good thing she has reading material. That's a lot of almonds in one sitting. Such a happy looking birdy.

When I first contemplated getting another Grey, we were worried about the possibility that the Grey I got would eventually chose someone and be a one-person bird. I of course wanted that someone to be me. I mean that's all you read about Greys. My first Grey was not a one-person bird, but that was before Grey's invented the internets and put forth that silly little rumor about Greys. Now a days, my Grey, Miss GreycieMae, spends most of her free time, the time not spent being the Sterling-Ranch aviary warden, sitting on Daddy's shoulder and working on Daddy's bike, Daddy's computer, Daddy's whatever he's doing. I have two 'other' girls in my house, wife, daughter. I have noticed increasingly that as they walk by and I'm sitting in my chair, my Grey gets softly snatched off my shoulder and carried to wherever the girl see's fit to take my Grey. This post was prompted by just such an occasion. I'm sitting here at my computer watching a video on how to solder a sensor battery back into a power control unit before I head back into the garage, and all of a sudden, my Grey is missing. Snatched and taken away, now singing happily in the shower with Mommy, and tossing hangers from the shower curtain rod. I do believe I have a well adjusted Grey.

She looks so cute "on the road again..."!

Got nailed less than 6 days ago from this post, on my upper lip and it started a minor infection that that I could feel through one of my teeth and in my left eye. I consider getting nailed to always be my fault since I assume the risk of letting her near my face.

I hope Dorian caught whomever did that mess.

I expect to see pictures of her being spoiled completely rotten on her special day!

Oh my gosh...a smart alecky Grey!!!

I love conures. A conure was my first bird. There's something so cute and ornery about them.

He's a real cutie.

Our Jardines hates shoes. He will get on the floor and go after anyone's shoes. There's just something about shoes that really pisses him off. On the other talon, he's totally in love with mommy's feet.

Maybe she's a bird whisperer. I took GraycieMae to a race venue once and people were wanting to hold her etc. She was a little snappy and bitey with everyone except this one lady whom she'd never met before. The lady showed absolutely no fear and told Greycie to step-up like she knew what she was doing. She could practically do anything I could do with her. I think they can sense fear and use it to their advantage.

Same here - 1st link. Although I really really like the first one that comes up in the fourth link. That's the one I'd go for. My problem is getting the out the birdroom door and down the hallway to take them outside and wash them. I have to take doors off hinges and that's a pain in the butt.

2nd link posted. That's a ferret or chinchilla cage.

Definitely not the 4th one listed. Birds like Caiques will utilize the lower level but a naturally paranoid Grey will confine themselves to the tall narrow section. I don't like the ferret cage either. So that leaves the other two options

Echo the sentiment about loving these birds. I regularly hear comments "he loves his bird more than me" from the wife when she's talking on the phone. Well, she loves her birds too so... It feels closest to the love for a child to me, only they're more appreciative.

There is. You can never replace what was lost but the memory will always be with you. These are pictures of our little girl we lost we lost to PPD over the course of 7 months. It was a long and painful journey for us to watch her slowly deteriorate. She's not a Grey but she was super special to us. It's been three years and I can't believe that seeing her picture still makes me tear up. She's buried in a special place behind our bedroom window with a bird of paradise planted over her. We got another Jardines to fill the hole she left. He's nothing like her although they share some Jardine specific traits. We love him but we still miss her and always will.

We use a cheapazz 'cobra' misters from HD. Stuffed it in front of that drum fan and seriously cools off. GreycieMae was scared of the whole dealio last season and would sit in the far 'hot' no-shade corner of the aviary. This year she sits on the hanging perch that sits directly in front of the mist and air and gets the added benefit of a slow free push to go round and round. I really want to put a line of misters along the support and hang my drum fan so it blow all the way across the lenght of the aviary but I need someone to come do some projects so I can get to that one. By the way, i google imaged searched 'mister'. I did not need to see half naked dudes wearing sashes. I will now be suing google for PTSD. However I have a co-worker who said I have to get in line behind his lawsuit over 'Dicks sporting goods'.
