Hello from Boston

[seagoatdeb]

Welcome and what a cute pic of your GGC!

[Navre]

So today I was on the phone with my daughter for quite a while. Apparently the bird didn't like this, because she flew onto my shoulder and started biting me, everywhere, hard. Little brat.

[Navre]

She's been biting a lot. The only thing I can see that is different is the amount of attention she's getting. She doesn't wake up until 7 and she's been going to bed between 3 and 4. There just aren't as many waking hours in the day. In the summer she'll be with me a lot more, simply because she is awake more.

I wonder if with the shorter days now if the amount of protein in her diet might not need to be reduced a little. Of course that may not have anything to do with it either. I really don't know.
Kookooloo, my Grey hates remote controls and phones and will attack me if she sees one of them in my hand.

[Navre]

This is Tanya. She came to visit today. Hopefully my adoption of her will be approved in the next few days. I have a cage for her, but not yet one I'm really happy with.

[Navre]

[Wolf]

I know that Tanya has some major mobility issues, but since you are speaking of finding a cage for her, I am curious, does she climb on wire cages?

[Navre]

She cannot climb. She will be a ground bird. I have ordered a ferret cage. It will give her a lot of floor space, and if her mobility improves some she might be able to climb the ramps to the upper platforms.

She will have a memory foam floor in her cages. The foam is wrapped in plastic and then in fleece. Because of her liver problems, she bruises easily and can't stay a long time on a hard surface or bars.

[Wolf]

Thanks, since I have the opportunity, through you, I am trying to learn about Tanya and what life is like with a bird that has the issues that she does. I hope you don't mind.

[Navre]

I don't mind at all. I'm sure I'll need help and ideas.
