Welcome to Flash and Crash.

Hi and welcome.

Dixie-1

Just one little tip DO NOT use a glass mirror. The shiny Stainless Steel one's hold up a lot better. Quinn beats his up quite a bit .

Hi and welcome Em, Mushu and Willow.

Hi and welcome.

Hi and welcome angelcake and Eka

I think Claire is right about not sticking your hand in the cage, I want my birds to consider the cage thier home and a "safe" place to retreat to if needed. Cage door is open if we are home and birds go in and out as they please.

Dixie-1

Congratulations on the new addition to your family !

Dixie-1

I know each Country has thier own rules and Quarantine period for dogs. so I assume birds would be no different ? Airlines also have a list of rules for shipping the airline you are flying with might be a good place to start looking into the specifications. Good luck with it !

Hi and welcome lijo and Roscoe.

Dixie-1

Welcome Smad you might try leaving the cage door open and see if his 'inquisitive nature" gets the best of him and he will come out to visit. I agree with "InTheAir" cant beat those treats

Melika wrote:You can use regular vinegar too. I clean my bird cages with a vinegar solution. The smell fades relatively quickly.

That is true Melika, as far as smell vinegar is a natural non toxic odor killer.Safer than any commercial ( TOXIC ) product on the market.

Dixie-1

I dont know about that product Patti, but did you know that apple cider vinegar is a natural, safe non-toxic cleaner ? 50/50 dilution with water works great ! :wink: Heck you can even go "organic" if you feel the need. :D Cleaning Meats and Vegetables. To clean away parasites, moulds and ...

Hi and welcome good idea to read up on weaning and hand rearing as Loo suggested !

Welcome Gayle and Chicken Hawk !

Welcome to the forum Socket !

Welcome and good job Beatrice,dont rush them food and patience. Hopefully they should come around.

Dixie-1

Birds are flock animals so it would seem like they would interact with the entire flock. Quinn will do anything for my husband, but he is also fine with me. You need to remember those treats girl ! lol

Dixie-1

Sounds like you need to take full advantage of when Dad is gone to work. Try to figure out his favorite treat and be the only one he can get this treat from ? Just a thought .

Dixie-1

Hi and welcome Duchess you should be able to find answers to most of your questions here, happy reading

Dixie-1

Hi and welcome Kimma what a cute little she/him maybe we need to call them "shim" til we are sure ? Ha Ha

Dixie-1

I agree with that idea, Quinn used to fly to the screen door. This is funny, Buddy our dog has a rubber chicken that Quinn is afraid of we hung it on the screen door and Quinn hasn't flown there since

Dixie-1

Hey, can you post a link to that so I can see what you mean? I am sorry I cant give you a link since Hubby brought it home from the "Flea Market" on the Reservation. Him and his buddy go there to find deals, glad he found this one. So I spent the morning going thru pictures and trying to ...

Dixie-1

Hi and welcome I will definately stay "tuned in" LOL

Dixie-1

Hi and Welcome Charles good job rescueing that poor bird.

Dixie-1

Hi and welcome Waikare .

Dixie-1

We found these 12 inch by 12 inch plastic grids that snap together and snap onto his cage. It is like a little gym that we can change up from day to day. sort of like an erector set I guess, it has worked out real well for us.

Dixie-1

We picked Quinn up right after he was weaned, put him in his cage when we got home and left him alone except to observe that he had found his food and water and was eating. The next day we opened the door and let him discover his way around. When we open the cage door he comes right out probably ar...

Dixie-1

If we are home Quinn's cage door is open and he is free to go in and out as he chooses.We are retired so he is mostly out except to sleep at night. If we leave he go's inside for his own safety and also because he is a little LOL

Dixie-1

As others have said as long as it is plain and unsalted it is fine. I guess its just another form of corn.

You are right about assuming that is an "adult" male Teresa . It is always nice to purchase and take home a "trained" bird, but it is also a great and very rewarding learning experience to get a younger bird and try to "do the work" youself. Plus you have found this Gr...

Dixie-1

Welcome AJ it sounds like Billie was lucky to find you.

Dixie-1

I found this pretty interesting so I thought I would share. 8) The Top Ten Bird Killers Although we all like to think that we always have our bird's best interests at heart, it is impossible to foresee every single household danger that our avian friends can get into. But it is wise to be aware of ...

Dixie-1

Yep its normal, Quinn is about 7 almost 8 months old and is just starting to show a little white around the outside.

Hi and welcome Alphawolf sounds like you have done your homework and are making good progress.

Dixie-1

I would agree with Melika Quinn loves to shred and destroy anything made of paper, but doesn't actually eat it.
