That photo is a classic!

Agree with BP. I see too many birds that come from real crappy situations and once they are in the care of someone who gives a damn, they turn around right quick. Gracie should probably be sitting on the jury too!

Wow, I never would have imagined those fat bastards could be soaking the system. Had to search snopes and several other sources because I can't believe it was true. SIGNED!

Hate to read about this but hoping for the best for your little guy.

This one definitely hits home at our house. I've really had to work on making sure wifey gets her kiss and attention first before Greycie. Poor lil Toby is last in line.

She does have a sweet face. Thanks for taking her in.

Speaking of boarding...I saw someone recently lost their Grey at the boarder - they let it fly out the door. I can't imagine.

Cute pic. He's definitely checking out his new digs.

this happened tonight: - you hide around the corner and sneak a naughty snack on the floor hoping no one hears you eating

- you replace hanging chandeliers with flat mount light fixtures to improve flight paths - you rip out all the carpet in your house and replace with hardwood/tile so you can easily get the poop up - you remodel a bedroom complete with hangings boings/orbits/perches/ropes - you're food gets inspected and shared or tossed every.single.meal. - you pause multiple times before opening a door that leads outside - even if nothing is in the room - seeing a nice well-formed green poop with white substrates in liquid makes you happy I could go on and on...next -

I have to say, the Yellow Nape'd fellow makes several good points! I love the way Amazons talk. Wish I could take one in.

Welcome to the Grey forums. Where at in Texas? I'm north of Dallas. CAG's don't screech like a conure, although they can learn to if exposed to it. Mine learned to do morning and evening screechy time because my Caique started her on it. I would say at 5mos your CAG is just figuring things out. Ours is 14mos and she is getting louder with all her new repetoire of whistles, caique screeches etc.

I thought the same thing about the birdy in the shop. They're easy to forget that they are there and then you fire up the welder...

I've seen worse carpeting jobs

Tip: if you got as far as adjusting the harness, have something he can bite on to distract himself while you work on the harness. Whenever I need something to distract, I use a ball point pen with the ink reservoir removed.

I guess my excuse is I grew up on a cattle ranch - I've always worn a hat. Dad would always ask "where's your damn hat". Then when I went into the Marines at 17, you damn well didn't go outdoors without your 'cover' - never. It's not to cover up missing hair as I still have it. Greycie loves to peek over the bill and play peek-a-boo.

From what I've read on their G&C forums they've really improved the optics on the FI9826W. Apparently their hardware is fantastic (relative to cost) - their problem is their crappy software. The only issue I'm having is the choppy frame rates when logged in from work. I haven't nailed down where the bottleneck is. It runs in near real time when I view it from within my intranet.

Yeah, we're getting a lot done in here. My office was converted into Greycie and Toby's birdroom. Listening to the 70s disco (feel free to hate) and taking birdcam selfies. This shot reminds me of a Felix photo

Talon or anyone else: what were the symptoms you saw that let you know there was an issue with your Grey's eyes in regard to the UV light? I have Greycie set up for the first time this morning. I'm only going to run it for a couple of hours and it's also higher than recommended, even for the burn-in period. I plan to lower it with time to the recommended distance and increase the on time as well once I know her eyes are not being effected. The instructions on the bulb are screwed up. They say 18" to the perch, then they give a detailed description showing the distance to measure is from the bulb to the top of the parrots head. So which is it?

10K! I'll never see one of those. In all seriousness, if she has or knows of a Jardines parrot let me know. I am turning over every stone looking for one of those sweeties.

A Hawk head you say? Where? Please pass along my number to him would you (I'm only half kidding - please stop me).

oh boy, I have more than one. Will probably never have: 1. Hawk-headed parrot 2. Hahn's macaw 3. IRN An amazon is on my maybe list if I ever get my aviary built.

Last night after several rounds of wrestling, some Grey sprints back and forth across the back of my chair (these are super cute), multiple strafings of the living room and finally attacking Toby and knocking him to the floor I decided to weigh her. 437g. She felt so skinny it scared me. She wouldn't hardly eat anything either so she wasn't hungry. This morning her weight after the morning bomb was 442. Not sure how she managed to gain weight overnight. The low 440s used to be her skinny-girl weight, now she's getting into the 430s.

At least it's a young 8-9 mo Grey. It'll be like leaving it's immediate family flock and joining it's adult flock. Thanks for posting that FB Joe, I like that pic of the outside cage. Do you have any problems with hawk predation in that setup? I would love to build something similar but I don't want the hawks sitting there trying to figure out how to get in. I've seen other similar setups (murfchk?). Sorry, don't want to get the thread off-track but I really liked that pic.

Amazing. Before I got to the part of who did it, I was sure you were going to say a pit bull. We have some friends who were out walking their Corgi down the alley behind their house and ended up in a tugging match with a neighbors pit bull latched onto the mid-section of their Corgi and them on the front legs holding on. Similar wound area as your doggy except it was one big gaping hole. We had two rather large owls living in our tree line a year back and I never would have considered our little rat terrier was in any danger. Hard to believe!
