I am having so much trouble uploading or attaching pictures to posting here. I don't know how to do this.


I chose the upload attachment, then navigated to where the picture was on my computer, selected it, brought it in, typed in comments about it in the next field, then clicked on Add The file, then saw the following message:

"The image must be at least 0 pixels wide, 0 pixels high and at most 575 pixels wide and 800
pixels high. The submitted image is 640 pixels wide and 480 pixels high."

I don't see the picture yet here. Does it show?

I don't understand what that error message means, and I don't see my picture

Here is my baby! And his name is "Baby"
I finally figured out how to do this picture thingy! LOL !
He rolls and cuddles like a cat, wanting me to scratch his tummy! The other day he rolled over and cuddled like this right in my hands, wanting me to scratch his belly! A bird in love . . . LOL


Here is another one of him leaning in to kiss me! It's too cute, he actually learned to respond to "Gimme a kiss" - he leans forward and touches his beak to my lips or nose!



IMPORTANT NOTE: Be very careful with the kissing thing. Human saliva can give birds fatal infections. Always make sure and keep your mouth closed, make sure they're dry of saliva, and even suck your lips inward a bit, so that the bird generally only touches the skin area on your face around your lips.

Second Birthday Decorations For Baby: Two Years Old; May 31, 2011 -
Actually my birthday is on May 27th, so we celebrated together that weekend and had a party with people over and mexican food and had fun! But I haven't had a chance to dress up his birthday pictures yet for his 2nd birthday! LOL !


oH! BUMMER! IS THERE A WAY TO SIZE THE PICTURES DOWN SO THAT ALL OF THE PICTURE(S) SHOWS? All I'm doing is copying the photobucket IMG Code! I've uploaded the pictures to photobucket so I can post them here!

Finally, first official shot of us all together:

I was traveling back in the history of the Forum and found this. I love it.

Michael !!!! beautiful pictures !!!!
On the one where your bird is nibbling on your ear, my bird does that to me gently, when I say to him, "Scratch mama, scratch mama". Is that what your bird is doing? Scratch mama was the "graduation" FROM when I say "Scratch, scratch, scratch", and he sticks his neck out for me to scratch his neck! So from that he understood scratch, THEN he learned to "scratch mama" !

[Maria]

When your bird learns about scratching, it is associated with love, to your bird. When you say to your bird, then, "I love youuuu", WHEN you're "scratching" them, they then associate that phrase (I love you) as love too, as a loving phrase.

And it's amazing and so loving, every morning, my bird comes at me from within the cage, and sticks his neck up to the side of the cage for his morning scratch. And every night, when I sing him to sleep, while I'm singing, he sticks his neck up against the cage, for me to scratch it while I'm singing.
