Talon Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Yesterday was Talon's 8 year Birthday! She spent it being a menace!!! Spending most her day trying to open all the kitchen cupboards and climbing in them to chew things... I guess she didn't care for the French Toast I made her for breakfast.... As much as a sweetheart she is, she is the practical joker of the flock! She LOVES to play jokes on us and then laugh at us... She has always been a very sweet bird, but she will play tricks on us all the time! We had her shipped from Florida to Mass when she was weaned (so I was told) at 8 1/2 weeks old. I remember it was a very cold day...28 degrees...I picked her up at the airport, drove 1 hour home and she settled in very nicely, but then she cried for the first 2 weeks off and on.. She was actually a xmas present for my then 17 year old son. He would bring her to me saying, "Mom, I don't know what else to do, I fed her, played with her, sing to her, and she still is crying... " It was heart breaking, she obviously missed her flock....I would cuddle her in a blanket holding her and singing softly to her,...it seemed to help. But looking back, I now know, it was too early for her to be flown alone to us... She was eating fine, and I spent as much time as possible with her. I was able to be home for much of the days so it helped. So, fast forward to today....she has Rikki & Nilah, I think she would prefer to be alone, but she does seem to like their company when we are not home. If she can't find me, she will fly and look for them. She continues to be a wonderful joy to our family and I adore her! HAPPY BIRTHDATY TALON!

Luvparrots Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Happy Hatch day Talon. You are the light in your mama's eyes. May you have many, many more to come. Oh I love to hear stories about our "older" greys. Or I should rephrase that: the ones that have been here well since the beginning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Happy Hatchday Talon!!! :) Thanks for sharing the first portions of bringing her home and the cuteness of it all in reflection. It made my heart pang for a baby grey again. But, then I came back to my senses!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katana600 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Happy birthday to Talon! It is hard to believe she is eight years old. I love that she is a jokester. Can you even begin to wonder how you got along without her? I am celebrating your milestone marker and all the smiles she brings to your life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
