  1. That is beautiful!!! I want to buy a nice big cage for my birdies, but I can't find one I like on a budget. What a great idea, and that looks so beautiful! Where do you buy the wire mesh? I am thinking of making one instead. Awesome job!
  2. I hope I'm putting it in the right place. Captain Morgan
  3. Thank you for the advice! Where would I get the fake eggs? When she gets tired of laying on the eggs she brakes them (usually about 3-4 weeks after she lays them), I read in a book that I should let her be with her eggs as much as she wants and if she wants to crack them it is good for the calcium. is this correct? I have a cuddle bone at all times in her cage and she loves it. She eats from it everyday and sometimes she also puts it in her water. Would this be enough or should I get her some for her water? As far as toys I have a box full of them, I rotate them often, but she doesn't play with them unfortunatley. I wish she would, she has so many. Morgan only plays with a little mirror that has clock arms and 2 bells, he loves that one, but he won't play with the others. I was thinking about the crate bottom, this cage didn't come with one, but I am looking for a new cage. I cannot seem to find the right size, they are either too small or too big, but I'll keep looking! Thanks so much for the advice! I liked the "toy boy" part, and the granny mom lol!
  4. I have replied your posts on the breeding help forum... I really don't know what else to do, Lizzy lays eggs even if she is in the cage by herself. she's been doing this for years and never had babies. She is a very healthy bird. I got Morgan so she could have company she was not happy by herself and is a lot happier now that she has a friend.... I was just trying to get some help....
  5. I don't really plan to breed them, I know Lizzy is on the older side, but she lays eggs even if she is in a cage by herself (when Loui passed she still laid eggs). Of course I want them to be happy and healthy. I really don't know exactly how old Morgan is, they never told me at the pet shop, what I know is that he wasn't a young baby because his cere was already blue and had gone through his first molt. I guessed around 6 or 7 months and I have him since May. I thought maybe Lizzy could be a "mom" before she gets too old, She's been laying eggs all this time and never had babies. I feel bad for her, because as I said before, she lays eggs even if she has no mate, I have no idea why. She has 4 eggs now, I'll keep you posted. Thanks for you replies!
  6. Those are great pics! They are so cute How do the three of them get along? I was thinking of getting another baby in the future, but I heard they need to be in pairs or they'd fight, what's your experience?
  7. Haha!! At least you have the pictures to prove it! She is adorable!
  8. Thanks guys! I think I will try that, taking him to another room, that's a good suggestion. I know it takes time and patience, I have to keep telling myself that, hahah
  9. Well, we are on week four. His is doing good as far as being more comfortable with his surroundings, but has become a little skittish, he doesn't want to stay on my finger when his cage is in sight :budgiedance: He will fly to it. I clipped his wings last week because he develeped quite a taste for flying and since he is not completley used to my house I don't want him to get hurt. He was not traumatized as I feared, in fact, when I was done he let me scratch his head, with no problem, it didn't seem like a big deal to him, I was relieved. I introduced him to Lizzy a couple of days ago, they are still getting to know each other, but they seem to get along, they only see each other for a little while each day. I don't know if I should wait a little longer to put them together, since he is not as tame as I had hoped. Will putting him next to Lizzy (not in the same cage yet, till they know each other better) affect his taming? Thanks!
  10. Thanks! I never grab him or force him to do anything, Im always gentle never do anything sudden, for that reason, I don't want to scare him. He always steps up on my finger when I let him in or out for the cage, he has no problem with that. He is better today, he had his flying moods a couple times, but he was fine, whenever he is done flying if he doesn't land on his cage I will go to him gently, and show him my finger and he steps up with no problem. My Loui was so easy to train and Lizzy was a little monster, so I don't want to rush him to do anything, I'm taking it nice and easy.
  11. Morgan is doing well, and yesterday he sang!!! He didn't know I was on the door listening to him, he was "talking" to Lizzy in the other room and started singing. I have a question. His wings aren't clipped, and yesterday when I would grab him he would only stay on my finger for a little bit and then start flying all over the room . I have the mirrors covered, I think he just felt like flying because he didn't seemed scared. My question is, should I clip his wings or just let him fly? I know it's good for them to fly, but I don't know how that affects his taming. I think he is just curious about the room and wants to explore, he usually flyes a circle or two around the room and then goes back to his cage. He usually stayed on my finger for a long time but I guess yesterday he felt like flying. I don't want to traumatize him by clipping his wings now that we are bonding
  12. Hi all I thought I'd let you know I made some natural perches for Lizzy and put them front to back like you recommended! She hasn't used them much yet, I guess she has to get used to it. But they look good :parrot: Thanks for the suggestion!
  13. Aww Turkey you are so cute!!! What color is he? He is adorable, I love how he plays with his ball
