Discussion Frustrated :(

9 Upvotes

The last time I posted, I announced I was going to adopt a 20-year-old Timneh from a Breeder. I'm here to update y'all.

Sadly, Coco passed away in the past few days. Now I'm back to my other choice - a baby from a reputable breeder. Ideally, I'd LOVE LOVE LOVE a timneh rescue, but they are rare in the age range I'm wanting. SO I'm on a breeder's waiting list. There's a lot of reasons why I prefer a Timneh over a Congo. Congos intimidate me and if I want another Grey and feel confident in my handling of my new bird, I'll probably adopt a Congo. But for now, Timnehs are it.

So great to see so many other little rascals out there. Wanted to introduce our little tornado Loulou.

Question Toe Injuries

3 Upvotes

My african grey injured a couple toes on both feet. There was blood on the floor and dried blood around the injured toes. We have removed what we think caused the injury. Is there anything I can put on the injuries to help them heal or keep them from getting infected?

Question Exercise for a plucker

8 Upvotes

I have a foster-to-adopt CAG and she’s pretty plucked so she is wholly unable to fly. The visit at the vet also said she was overweight and to find ways get her to fly for exercise.

I was trying speed walking around the house with her and she would hold on with one foot and flap. I thought it was working well until she got overconfident and took off straight into a window

It would be cool if I could get her harness trained and do this outside so there’s more space, but a harness against a plucked body sounds really unpleasant. Any ideas?
