I guess I was just worrying for nothing. I have been holding Prettygirl and using the spray bottle holding it down so she can't see it. I get wet also, but that's ok. I am going to take here into the shower with me and see how she likes that. Her new feathers are coming in nice now. Thanks for all t...

Thanks Donna, I would have never thought of that. I use to drink a small cup of that juice for stomach problems that I have. I couldn't tell it helped my stomach, but I've also heard that people drink it for arthritis. I know it's great for a sunburn. We use to keep a plant and when we got sunburned...

When you took jib's to the vet was it just a hard molt? Prettygirl is getting new feathers now. My husband said I'm just trying to make my bird sick. We've been married for 30 years and he has told me from day 1 that I worry to much. We move to different parts of Texas because we are guards on gas a...

Bathing and Molting question

Maybe I'm worrying for no reason, but Prettygirl seems to be loosing a lot of feathers in her molt this time. It seems like she is chewing all the time. I have a dish that I put down for her to bath in, but she really only gets her breast and under her neck wet. I know everyone talks about giving th...

I'm so glad that I signed in today, because I have been worrying about Prettygirl. I have been through several years of molt's with her, but it seemed to me like she was taking a very long time to get through it. I swear I could put together a whole other bird with the feathers I have vaccumed up. S...

I think you are right about the animals feeling it. I get really mad when they show all the cars that run off batteries. How many years will it be before the average person can afford one. Where we are in Texas is like 30 miles from the Mexican border towns. Most of those poor people are still drivi...

I knew they had big expensive lights people used up north, but I never thought about reptile lights. Thanks for the hint. :o I grew up in Oregon which can be very depressing with all the rain so that's why I moved to Texas. My husband grew up here. I'm waiting to hear an update on Luna's progress.

It looked so nasty up your way with the snow and I'm sure there will be lots of Tornados on the news in the morning. We had a ''cold front" come through this morning, but it was fast moving and the sun came out this afternoon and we got up to 80 this afternoon.
