Best outdoor bird enclosure Ive ever seen was done by a guy in Australia. He used an avian netting with simple hog rings to attach it. Ive linked it here before. Will add the link when I find it again. There were sources for the materials he used in the thread. Here's the thread at AvianAvenue I was talking about. His setup is amazing. We have a rear covered porch with ceiling fan and light. It's open on three sides. We plan to enclose it in a similar manner as shown in the thread and extend it down the side of the house. We got quotes to do a fancy walled in structure with glass and two doors - $13K. No thanks that's +10x more than I wanted to spend. Greycie just got her birdroom fixed up so she'll have to wait a bit longer.

Oliver! I like Ollie for short. I have to say though, the cutest boys name I've come across recently is 'Cadbury'.

Also depends on the birdy. Our Greycie CAG goes to bed, with a fight of course, at 9-9:30pm. Our Toby (Caique) starts his wing stretching and leaning towards the birdy room anywhere between 7:30-8:00 pm. They both get up at 7am.

Greycie learned to fart and laugh because we laughed after she did it. Now she gets really loud and boisterous about it doing it multiple times in succession. Of course we reinforced it because it's so funny when she does it. I had a time figuring out what your bird was doing until I read the comments and then it was crystal clear...duh...

I was gonna say, that's the way my BFA used to ride my beach bike, hanging upside down from the handle bars.

My two Greys are/were sort of like having another emotionally needy...ummm...wife? My BFA was like having a drinking buddy around. He was a clown much like my Caique.

Be careful with the humidifier. One of the members here just lost a Grey due to some mold developing in their humidifier. Not sure how you keep the devices from doing that but someone may know.

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
