snoepgoed123 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I wanted to start a new thread, of what 5 things every CAG/TAG should have. Now obviously a cage/perches/food/water are given... but what are other things that your cag/tag can't live without... (or other bird) try to be more specific than toys... say what type of toys are your fid's favorite and you'd be in trouble if you don't have one of those around.

Ray P Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 (edited) 1. Understanding, For when they have an off day. 2. Forgiveness, For when they destroy something of value. 3. Patiences, For when they have a mind of their own. 4. Devotion, So they know you care. 5. Commitment, So they know you will always be there. This goes for all our fids.

cinty Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 A treat pole, which is a tree like pole, you could use a hat and coat hanger, make it climbable, have small places to stick his favorite foods on. Not only does he get to exercise but also get rewarded for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrsLangenohl Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Elvis could not live without his swing and he loves his "smart" toys --- where he has to figure out how to get the goodies out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kins2321@yahoo.com Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I totally agreed with what Ray P had to say. Made me smile! On a personal note, I would like to share, what Sophie and I can't do without ! We look forward to our " own time", between 620am to 6:40 am, during the weekdays. Its all about us, noone is invited. Another favorite for us is every other Thursday, I do my bills. Still by checks. I sit on one end of the table, talk to myself, she sits on the other end of the table with her own checkbook. While I'm going over numbers, using a calculator, Sophie's going over her own checkbook. She doesn't chew it, but talks to it in baby talk. I always ask her " how's it going" LOL I LOVE watching her try to imitate me. My baby girl is growing up, and learning to be responsible! LOL Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Life is Greyt Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Chickie needs: 1) Buttons sewn onto fleece (hands down her favorite toy) 2) cheez-its (her fave snack when we're having some) 3) a sandy perch to sleep on 4) phone book to shred 5) and, last, but not least, her mommy!!

judygram Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Every grey should have at least one heavy duty stainless steel bell to bang around and fight with, Josey loves hers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fidsandfrats Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 The noisiest toys you can possibly find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amali Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 1. Nutriberries for bedtime snack 2. Adding machine paper to shred 3. Sandy perch to sleep on 4. Mom to wear old t-shirts that Amali can put holes in 5. Water bottle for baths - much preferred over the shower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greywings Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 A little forgiveness when we recieve a correction due to a miscommunication that leaves us bleeding. Mostly love and appreciation for all they teach us and how they entertain us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheshire Cat Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 1) Love 2) Devotion 3) Time/attention 4) Playtime with mommy and/or daddy 5) A smile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birdnut Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Ditto on the heavy-duty stainless steel bell ... definitely the all-time favorite toy. A steel bucket to stick their head in and make noises. Moussa loves his foraging box toy. Smallish toys on a length of chain that he can swing around wildly. Noisy toys hung down from a perch that can be lifted up and dropped, over and over and over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could not say better than that. And bear in mind, whatever that we give, the grey will return that back to us with interest and the magic only they can bring to life.
