Welcome to my world

everything I buy them gets destroyed.

Breeding season is approaching Peter. It makes them act a little odd sometimes. In the wild they gorge on food all summer long. When it starts to turn cold and the food is scarce they slow down their eating and their activity. Sometime around January she will begin to feel a bit randy.

Skyes_crew

Noooo not the laptop. Time for a new one

I like the chainsaw. Don't know if he can master the ch sound yet but lets try

I can't wait to see video of Nila and Squidgin zooming around the house together.

Skyes_crew

Well when discussing gradual acclimation lets talk about chicks in a nest. When a chick is born, a hen will sit 24/7 keeping the temperature of the nest at around 37 degrees Celsius or 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. Maybe a bit more depending on outside temperature influence. She will only move off the ch...

Skyes_crew

Uh oh...she's inquisitive. You're going to have your hands full with this one :D I've often thought of trying the two part call or phrase with one of my birds. The only one that seems to be picking up words lightning fast right now is Cyrano. He can't whistle yet though. I have no clue why??? Since ...

Skyes_crew

If they were the large tail feathers you just concluded a fall molt. Not a big molt but still a molt. I suspect because he's both indoors and out it throws off his cycle a bit. The big molt will always follow breeding season with a smaller one coming in the fall.

She's in love with herself

and she's protecting herself from you

sometimes those mirrors can be tricky objects.

When you get to 48 pages we will just have to continue on with parrot speak part deux

Skyes_crew

My birds are not fans of the store bought foraging toys. I make my own. Maybe you can try that

Skyes_crew

Ahhh...don't rip up parrot speak!!! You'll never forgive yourself. I'm not sure if there is a limit to you're writing. I've seen threads go on for 8 pages so I don't think so.

How does Billie act in front of the mirror?

Skyes_crew

Of course I see a third alternative - teach them both a novel call at the same time. If I had to place money on it, my money would be on Miss Squidgette learning the Nila call. I don't have any money, of course (the dog ate it), so I'll just offer a piece of jute. Good thing I have plenty of that! ...

Skyes_crew

Nice

can't wait to see pics. I unfortunately only get to see such phenomenons when my birds take a bath

Skyes_crew

I've heard that. I was always afraid if my kids saw me do it then they'd be throwing their dinner at the wall. We had a thanksgiving incident in 2008 that ended in a food fight. I was shocked when my husband flung the first spoonful of mashed potatoes. My kids thought it was hysterical. I couldn't l...

Skyes_crew

Very good advice Tim. :D Something is bothering gizmo. And as Tim said, it may be a territory thing. Is gizmo a DNA'd male? This sounds closer to female behavior. Although I have seen males protect their toys. I would try to switch up as many things possible in gizmos cage other than the sleep perch...

Skyes_crew

Sounds like you most likely have two females if they've been together a couple of years already and no rings on either one. How old are they? I would also think about maybe separating them before they hurt each other

Skyes_crew

Ill have to try that one

Skyes_crew

What did you have to promise him to get him to part with that beauty?

Skyes_crew

My favorite game is fling the raspberries at the white wall

Skyes_crew

A little off topic but quick question...is there an visual difference between a turquoiseBlue Ino and a TurquoiseBlue Violet Ino?

Skyes_crew

Two little drowned rats

Skyes_crew

Just call her violet edged. You can drop the sl lol. But if you'd really like a common name I like blueberry ripple. Maybe MissK will come up with something too.

Skyes_crew

Looks like the h/r chicks are having way too much fun

Skyes_crew

Peter you don't realize it...but you and Billie are training each other.

Skyes_crew

Oh man...I have a seriously long list here. I show favoritism towards a certain big beaked sweetie so he gets a large portion of my attention. I couldn't stand changing paper every day out of the cages so I switched to corn cob that I can scoop out the clumps every other day. I get lazy sometimes wi...

Skyes_crew

Was there a question in here somewhere???

Skyes_crew

Did you get him from a breeder? Did the breeder give you any information when you got him? What have you been feeding him?

Skyes_crew

MissK...I'm shocked :o you more than any of us usually see the shades of grey in between :D I would love to see a blog about squidgette and her progress, but maybe weekly. Otherwise ill be chained to my computer ever more than I already am and my house would fall down around me while my kids and bir...

Skyes_crew

Since I almost never get these right, I have nothing to lose anyway. I'm going to guess aqua NSL Ino

Skyes_crew

I forget...does he tolerate misting with a water bottle well? If so, mist him daily. The sheaths will soften and literally fall off just from his movements, (shaking, flying,etc) Skye would rub herself on her tree. Other than that, hunker down for some human to bird preening. Sorry

Skyes_crew

That is beautiful.

Skyes_crew

If I had the money I would build the whole thing out of that composite PVC deck board. It's - Stain resistant - Scratch resistant - Split resistant - Mold and mildew resistant - Durable and long lasting - Impervious to moisture and insects Straight off the website lol Plus it looks just like real wo...

Skyes_crew

I don't know what they would do without us to guide them really.

Guilty as charged

Ellie has done it again

Please read this thread

Lol yeah boy is a great movie! Ps Squab is the word used to describe the base of a seat, I think thats tempting fate a little lol No squished birdies lol MissK...I thought it was a fancy name for a young pigeon ??? I like Claire's suggestion. Miss Squidgette Tamaryn-Star (nickname squidgin) I hope ...

Skyes_crew

I think you are absolutely correct Peter...they love a change every now and again

Ill ask Ellie if she can take all of your other posts from here and put them in to a new thread for you.

Skyes_crew

Aren't Peter and Billie awesome

I think they should have their own thread. It's under the wrong heading I think. It should be called "parrot speak" after peters book

Skyes_crew

I have no such resource. Maybe I'll just rewatch Crocodile Dundee and take it from there......... Some naming brainstorm (maybe brainshower....): Squidgette SkweeJETta (pseudo-French) Squidgin (like my little pigeon) love this one Jetta (you could name her after a car, or a 747!) Etta (why not) Ell...

Skyes_crew

Ben, I went back and did that just to check...twice...and that is the result it gives. I thought at first he left the blue off also. But it gives grey(sf)green/blue /ino as the result. Is the calculator off??? He's saying that the grey he bought had parents that were 1.0 grey x 0.1 lutino so that me...

Skyes_crew

I believe when you remove the splits and put visuals only...it removes all of the split options, thereby combining all of the grey(sf) green results making them grey(DF) green results. For example: It would combine line 1&3 into a DF because it would record no splits 1.0/Males as: 12.5% 1.0 grey...

Skyes_crew

One of my club friends is from New Zealand. I'm going to ask her to say it so I can see if it sounds pretentious

Skyes_crew

It must have been the night for ornery Alex's. my Cyrano wouldn't eat his dinner either. And it was his favorite...corn on the cob with egg noodles. He played with it and threw it everywhere. When he stepped on to my hand I refused to speak to him. He crawled up my arm and put his face in front of m...

Skyes_crew

Only the percentage of chance of achieving that mutation in the offspring. So the first two mutations have a very low likelihood of being produced and the second two have an almost 50% chance of being produced.basically your more likely to produce blue/pallid and blue pallid/cinnamon in male babies ...

Skyes_crew

Sort of.... Because the male baby would inherit the cinnamon-pallid it changes the results slightly blue /cinnamon-pallid x blue pallid Male babies - the first two are small chances. The second two about 48% chance blue pallid blue /cinnamon pallid blue /pallid blue pallid /cinnamon Female babies - ...

Skyes_crew

I really think tamaryn suits her

Skyes_crew

Can I um fly you out to Hawaii to build me one??? I am a horrible builder. I started enclosing my porch and gave up when the wall kept falling down

Skyes_crew

Ok for a sex linked recessive mutation a male baby must receive two copies, one from each parent, for it to visually express itself otherwise it can only be split to the mutation. But a female baby only requires the dad to be at least split for the mutation to visually express it. So assuming your p...

Skyes_crew

Enamel...I believe those are ok

Skyes_crew

Lol posted at the same time

Skyes_crew

She's beautiful Claire and Dave. I love the color. Her flights are so interesting. Her face is so sweet. Any names yet? What about tamaryn?
