She loves to go riding with me on the motorbike as she sit on a perch on the handle bar. [/url] First, well when you write "a free flying Congo African Grey" I immediately think of flying w/o harness because that is EXACTLY what free flying means! Second, not every one has time to click on the links you've provided and to read about all the training you have done with your parrot! Sorry that I didn't read more into it.

shanlung Posted December 21, 2008 Author Share Posted December 21, 2008 Goralka08 She did free fly. Around the apartment vicinity, she was flown without harness. When I took her to far away places that she was not familiar with, or when she rode on the motorbike, she wore harness. So what is your point of stressing 'EXACTLY what free flying means' ? Do tell us. I did not know your time is so precious. For if you had clicked and read, what I wrote in this reply would have been known to you. I am sorry to intrude on your time with this reply of mine that might even have forced you to read. You certainly should save your precious time and not bother to reply.<br><br>Post edited by: shanlung, at: 2008/12/21 14:35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Wow Shanlung, you never cease to amaze me. You have made tremendous progress with Riam. Thanks for the great links to the photos and videos. :-) I have always greatly valued reading and viewing all your web content. It is time well spent by anyone that truly wishes to develop a great relationship with their Parrot and the Parrot enjoy life at the same time. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaxtersMom Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Shanlung, I am a fairly new member to the forum and as a grey owner (about 7 months) You are an inspiration to so many of us. I have read alot of your entries and enjoyed your photos but I plan on going to the very first entry and reading every line and going in all your links in order so I can get the most out of all of them. I appreciate you sharing all this with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanlung Posted December 28, 2008 Author Share Posted December 28, 2008 Folks, Thank you. Baxtermom, If you are new to me, you might find it easier to go to this summary of what I did with Tinkerbell. There are URLs embedded in it to take you to more details should you chose. http://shanlung.livejournal.com/8284.html Goralka, I knew you just got into the grey world about the time Riamfada entered into my life. Your intro was heart warming. It brought back my own memories when Tinkerbell first came into my life and how happy I was as well as how frightened I was too. I do wish you all the happiness and magic that I know your grey will bring to you and all around you. It mattered little to me whether you chose to read me or not. By your own admission, you did not read, and hence you do not know. When you chose to try to cast aspersions and slurs on what I written, despite not reading me and knowing me (and I think with the best documented and transparent account on the web), I had to set my record straight and not let it be distorted. More for other readers and you if possible. Perhaps one day you might find the time to read some of what I have done, and perhaps you might even find it useful despite what you think of me now. Folks, I do try my best to continue on the chronicles of Riamfada. You will find a synopsis of that here. http://shanlung.livejournal.com/2008/12/ 21st 10:37a Tink Mash Biscuits/Riam knew colors/fistful of lanyards 23rd 10:47a Getting Riam to do a flyabout// how sickening could I get? - 1 reply 27th 3:23p Colors // Riamfada first lunch outing at Christmas // fishermen - 1 reply 28th 9:51a New cat carrier // Dommie harness Post edited by: shanlung, at: 2008/12/28 11:53 Post edited by: shanlung, at: 2008/12/28 16:20<br><br>Post edited by: shanlung, at: 2008/12/28 16:46 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah! I don't think bad of you at all. Just maybe that my response came out wrong and you took offense to it. It's OK! I do love reading blogs. Lately I haven't had the time because I had a ton to do around the house to get ready for a party that we were having here. Now that it's over...I'm going to take a look at what work you've done with your birds. So thanks for providing the links so I can bookmark them. I think the harness is wonderful and it definitely enhances their lives by getting some beautiful fresh air and some fly time! I really hope that one day I can get Kenzie in a flight harness because I would love to take her out on a nice day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luvparrots Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I always enjoy your photos and writings. Thanks for sharing Riam with us. I just got my 5 month-old Ana Grey a harness, which she hates. I am hoping she will settle down with it so we can go outside this spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanlung Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 luvparrots, Thank you Riam is also the catalyst and energiser for our travelling about in Oman the way Tink was for us in Taiwan. I doubt we would have been to that many places without Tink or Riam now. Since then, a couple more reports were written that might give you folks interesting reading. shanlung: Wadi Al Maih// Modify Riamfada Mash//kitty harness and preparing to take them out too shanlung: Beach outing with Jessica / / Preparing for Riam future // Chess final // beach outing with kitties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danmcq Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 As always Shanlung, your intriguing stories and adventures with photos are always a good and welcome. Read.

shanlung Posted April 22, 2009 Author Share Posted April 22, 2009 The Formosan blue magpies were incredible. While the photos you seen were great, those photos could never approach those magpies in real life. Perhaps HD TV might do that one day.
