Luvparrots Posted July 23, 2011 Author Share Posted July 23, 2011 Louie and Ana Grey have determined that, darn it, Sterling is not going anywhere and they have gotten tired of being sent to their room and scolded all the time. So they pretty much leave Sterling alone now. Beside Sterling is no wuss and much larger than either of them so as the vet said, Sterling will probably be ruling the roost in no time.

Gwen Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 OMG!!!!!! Just found this thread......... Indeed, Congrats on the new baby grey!!!! When I wished you Happy Birthday the other day, I had NO IDEA that you FINALLY had a new baby after all you've gone thru these past months !!! You must be simply thrilled to death after all your heartaches of finding a new CAG. I'm sure he will fit in nicely once Ana Grey teaches him the rules of the house !! LOL I'm finding more & more we have in common......... We're both retired (we have all day long to devote to being parronts), our BD's are on the 21st of the month (i'll be 64 this Nov. 21st), we both have Jeeps (mines yellow & i've had it 5 yrs. since it was new--I have dreams of cruising w/ the top off & Roscoe on my shoulder--that will never happen!!), we both have a blood condition, and, of course, are "bird ladies" who want nothing more in life than to be loved unconditionally by our fids !!! You never cease to amaze me with your wisdom & I want to hear LOT'S MORE abt. your new baby boy !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT_Jacket Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 FYI - If that is a wheeping fig (1st picture on post #19) - I just let my 20yr old one go because I found it on an unsafe list - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luvparrots Posted July 25, 2011 Author Share Posted July 25, 2011 Yes it is a weeping fig that I have had for over twenty years. If it is toxic my fids must be immune because they have always been around it and are still fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT_Jacket Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Okay, I'm new and going down the better safe than sorry route. More for other newbies - remember toxidity does not necessarily mean instant death to the creature eating it, it could mean long term organ damage.

If it is toxic my fids must be immune because they have always been around it and are still fine. Luvparrots, not to worry-- FIGS: (CREEPING, RUBBER, FIDDLE LEAF, LAUREL LEAF) are all safe for parrots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvparrots Posted July 26, 2011 Author Share Posted July 26, 2011 Thank you Dr. Flock. My research on the internet also confirmed that my parrots were safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT_Jacket Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Thanks guys - luckly we gave ours to a neighbor that said we can have it back at anytime. Is their a certain site(s) you guys trust more than others in such a situation that conflicting answers can be found? Sorry for the hijack - Brett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave007 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 (edited) Thanks guys - luckly we gave ours to a neighbor that said we can have it back at anytime. Is their a certain site(s) you guys trust more than others in such a situation that conflicting answers can be found? Sorry for the hijack - Brett This is one that I've used for years. It lists toxic and non toxic plants. It's very acurate. There are other lists though. http://www.busybirds.net/Articles.html Look for Toxicity of Plants Safe Plantson left side of page.

Gwen Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 OK... now that is solved. Weeping Figs are safe. Could we get back to the subject of this thread ? Janet: I'm so curious to hear an update on Sterling Gris -- & how is Ana Grey?? What does Louie think of him??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvparrots Posted July 26, 2011 Author Share Posted July 26, 2011 Thanks for asking about Sterling Gris, Gwen. He is just fine. He has given up his one helping of formula now and weighs in at 505 g. He is very sweet and independent. The other two have decided they do not like being put in their cages for trying to bully Sterling and more or less have given up that exercise. Sterling is not a timid guy. Actually he outweighs the other two easily. He is sitting on my shoulder while I type having shooed off Ana Grey from the back of the chair. Although I still watch them all closely, Sterling is a very sweet and independent grey. I think I am very fortunate to have parrots that very confident in themselves.
