Father plucking

[liz]

Okay. My dogs (6) respect the birds space. Rambo used to raise his wings, scream and run at them. He doesn't do that anymore but he doe run with them (he is my pedestrian).
The other day Rambo was being followed too close by the puppy. Myrtle did a strifing run on him (zoomed him so close he could feel the wind).

[Anneke]

Wow!! Do you have 6 dogs, Liz! Man I'm jealous!!!

My mother (85) and my aunt (81) moved in together a while back. When I got sick they moved me in. I went into a kind of remission and have been taking care of them. I am now 61 and unable to do all the care for them. We moved my daughter in to help. No one could part with their pets.

We have 6 housedogs. (Rachel has 2 boxers in the back yard.) 6 cats, 2 Amazons, 6 cockatiels, 2 lovies and a guini pig. I talked Rachel into rehoming the iguana. (She is happier where she is now - I knew she would be. I would never rehome unless the new family could do better by it. We couldn't even let it out to play.)

That is why I call this house Kaos.

[Anneke]

Hahah!! I can just imagine the chaos, yes. But I'm sure you enjoy it!!
I'm surprised the neighbours haven'tcalled the noise control yet!

I could never really spell and now I just don't try. You hjust have to guess what I typed.

One one side the neighbor has a beagle and he next yard a boxer.
The other side has 2 shitzus and beyond that 2 rotwillers.
Then the school yard comes up against our back fence and the kids make so much noise that you can't hear the dogs.

The only critter problem I have is Rachel's 2 black cats who don't like the other 4 cats and want to eat the tiels.

Well, it seems like only does the plucking once we put he back in the cage. Any suggestions on how we can stop this?

[Michael]

Don't put him back in the cage

[liz]

Don't put him back in the cage

NOW YOUR TALKING

[laducockatiel]

Maybe you could just buy him a play gym so he can stay outside the cage

I put a tree branch in a Christmas tree stand and ran smaller branches horizontal. I don't get out of the house often and that is the fastest thing I could come up with for Myrtle. She plays on it most of the day. She has toys hanging on every twig and it is her purpose to do battle with each one every day.
