just an update,i still monitor the forums when i can,jim is a very good bird now,hes talking more every day,he gets upset when i leave the room,and he sqwakes like crazy when i arrive home from work,hes my buddy,likes to sit on my hand while i play the xbox too.his toenail hasnt grown back..another cool habit is that he has a new toy witha small bell on it,if you want him to go back into his cage no matter where he is in the room you just have to ring his bell and he flys stright back into the cage!!! neat i thought......and very handy when you need to lock him away in a rush...take care all

good to hear from you, glad you both are doing great

Jim is just so great, I am sure that he will continue to do and say lots of new things.

(Laughing out loud) Boris knows when I need to put her away in a rush! She'll fly everywhere except her cage!!

glad to hear both you and Jim are doing great I love the bell thing I think many should take it up to train their birds to do that. Very helpful.

That is amazing, I think that you have a great bird there. I wish i could teach foobles something like that with the bell. But first i have to work out a way to get him out of his cage =))
