ariisamis Posted April 10, 2012 Author Posted April 10, 2012 Sorry I don't know about the tree or the roots,lol. In fact I am sitting here waiting for a lawn company to come and cut my grass and rose bushes. Didn't even know these bushes were roses.lol
Doug Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 My wife, Kelleigh, is spending so much money on house renovations that I have to scrounge around for stuff for Ellie...
ariisamis Posted April 10, 2012 Author Posted April 10, 2012 She wants to make sure the house it fixed up for Ellie, after all she needs a great kitchen to make the fid food,lol. Better yet maybe she needs to add on an extra room for all the things that you manage to scrounge up.
Doug Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 I make Ellie's food AND the human food, so I'm not complaining about the new kitchen! Recent changes: The new mattress set for the guest room, the new bed and closet for my daughter's room, the new carpet for my son's room... Luckily Kel did all of the painting. (I get freaky if I can't get the tape positioned EXACTLY. Kel is not so concerned with precision application of the paint...) Soon I'm going to have to convert a room into a walk-in closet for Kel...
Kimijean Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 Just in case you haven't figured it out for sure...... yes, java wood is bird safe. LOL Kim
Doug Posted April 11, 2012 Posted April 11, 2012 Coffee is grown in Hawaii and Puerto Rico. You'll still have to deal with the airline but not customs. I HAVE been to both places on business. Maybe it's time for a repeat visit...
Kimijean Posted April 11, 2012 Posted April 11, 2012 I haven't been to Hawaii since I left almost 26 yrs ago. ( Kim
Loki05deMayo Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 I have been trying to find a thread, the right thread to post my question, that specifies when I should purchase a cage this big. Right now my bird is in a tiny container for 'critters'. She is 6 weeks. At what age do I place her in a bigger cage?
Acappella Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 I have been trying to find a thread, the right thread to post my question, that specifies when I should purchase a cage this big. Right now my bird is in a tiny container for 'critters'. She is 6 weeks. At what age do I place her in a bigger cage? What cage are you looking at Loki? What you have to watch for is bar spacing. For African Greys the bar spacing should be 3/4" to 1". A smaller TAG might be more comfortable with the 3/4". Next make sure that the bars on at least two walls run horizontaly. It's better for climbing around the cage. Dishes that can be changed from outside the cage are best, especially if there's a chance you might have to have someone who is not comfortable with large parrots pet-sit your baby. A cage that has a skirt can help catch some poops and flung food (note I said some! lol). Other than that, go with the biggest cage you can afford that will fit in your space. I love my cage from Avian Adventures. It goes together without screws or nuts and bolts, the doors all have locks to foil parrot escape artists, and the dishes lock into their slots so they can't be emptied and thrown about. As for the age, look around on the nursery thread. I never had a baby bird so I don't know. Happy cage hunting!

Should I think more closer to 1"? The cage that I am currently looking at is: • Exterior Dimensions: 33"x33"x72" • Interior Height: 45" • Bar Spacing: 1" • Weight: 110 lbs. Product Features • Bird proof front door & feeder door locks • Playpen top with 3 ladders & 2 perches • 2 lock in cups on playpen top • Slide out metal tray underneath play top keeping cage mess free • Horizontal side bars, vertical bars front & back • 3 swing out feeder doors • 3 stainless steel feeder cups & 2 perches • Slide-out grill & tray for easy cleaning • Non-toxic, durable and safe powder coated finish Good for: • Conures, Quakers • Small Cockatoos, Mini Macaws • African Greys, Amazons • Large Cockatoos, Large Macaws Thank you for the helpful information!

Parrot Lady Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 the cage looks great , Brandi has the same cage only in white and she is going to share the java tree with Rocky our amazon, of coarse they will take turns playing on it , java is slippery so I wraped some vet tape on mine and it works great
