Tonight on the PAX channel there was a program called IT'S A  MIRACLE
... or something close to that.  I got in on the very tail end of it.
Someone's home burned almost to the ground and they had been awakened
by "RUPERT" hollering.  It was their AG.  After the fire was

In the middle of the frenzy that is the Christmas shopping season, I decided
to stop off and pick up a fresh bag of seed, a new cuttlebone, and a new
apple branch perch.
There is something very soothing about a small local pet shop.

I am having a bit of a problem with my new baby tiel. He seems to have
the habit of sticking his head outside of the cage in between the
bars! I keep telling him "No!" and I think he knows what "No" means
because he will stick his head back into the cage, but then he does it

Maybe I wasn't so clear on what happened.  Let me clarify it.  My
mother was going to take the bird after the split up and everyone

I am only new here and thought I'd say Hi! :)
I have just got a 2 week old Cockatiel which I am having a go at hand

Last year Dusty was saying " Merry Christmas, ho ho ho." regularly. After
the holidays she quit saying it and I did not hear her say it the rest of
the year.  This week, as I was putting up Christmas decorations, she began
saying it again. My husband and I were both laughing. Do any ...

I'm not sure if this will do any good, but I'm certain that if enough
of us send an "abuse" complaint to the following links provided in the
header of the posting by the offending individual, some type of action
may be taken.

african grey or  not?????????????

Well...her first clutch consisted of 5 eggs, four of which remained intact.
She stopped for about a week and a half.
I didn't remove the first four b/c I didn't want her to start laying again.
During this time I was continuing to cover her at night, dramatically limit

Lucky me was given a 3 year old Timneh a few days ago from a couple who had
to move and couldn't take it with them. I have 1 question for any of ya'll
Timneh owners. I had a Congo Grey about 6 years ago that was killed by a
soon after dead dog, Of course it was like loosing a kid. ...
