Did someone ask for more Kyleigh?

[StephenAndKyleigh]

Stephen, I love that pic! Look at the cute fuzzy body lol. She looks like a mini B&G right now .

Haha! Thanks! She's growing and growing. I'll start sharing her weigh ins if anyone cares.

 

[Terry57]

I'd love to hear her weigh ins! It's amazing to me how quickly they grow.

 

[JerseyWendy]

I have printed out so many of your post lol. You should seriously write a book.

We just will never allow Mark to create his own social group cause nobody would be posting on the open forum any longer...... :54: :32: :52: :09:

 

[StephenAndKyleigh]

Ha, my wife put this together. I'm going to shave one day.

 

[thekarens]

Absolutely adorable!

 

[Dinosrawr]

So, so very sweet!

 

[StephenAndKyleigh]

Picture overload this weekend..but I dont think I've ever posted her new born pictures lol

 

[RavensGryf]

Absolutely precious ! That's so cool you have baby pics. I mean the really young pics!

 

[StephenAndKyleigh]

Today she weighed 1,050 grams which is +85 from last week!

"Hey dad...Can I put my beak on your ear...and maybe my tongue?"

How can I upload a video on here?

I load my video to YouTube then copy the link of the video on YouTube, and paste it where you type your message. Can't wait to see her in action!

Ok, you honestly can't do that, Stephen! Make a YouTube clip and call it "Tossing Kyleigh" that is. My face literally looked like this before I clicked the play button. --> :11:

That was so adorable!! She's growing bigger and stronger every single day! Not to mention it's so obvious how this love affair is developing rather quickly.

 

[StephenAndKyleigh]

Haha! Sorry Wendy. I, Stephen, promise not to actually toss Kyleigh.

 

[Birdman666]

Just doing some wing flapping exercises, that's all...

HOWEVER...

A friend of mine has a hyacinth who is fully flighted and well trained. He likes to get swung by his feet until his head is completely upside down, and then all the way up over your head... (Human swing.)

The BIRD will count to three. At the count of three, on the upswing, you simply let go of the feet. (This actually is a macaw toss game.) The bird then lands on your forearm. (You're supposed to hold up your forearm.) And runs back down to your hand....

That's "do it some more."

When he doesn't run down to your hand, that's the signal for I've had enough of this...

Mine do "Human Swing" but I don't toss them.

In fact, that's the only bird I've ever seen that liked to be tossed.

 

[Christinenc2000]

The smile on your face says it all. Great pictures. Such a pretty Macaw.

 

[AmyMyBlueFront]

Gosh, its kind of fascinating to see how something so small,will grow up relatively so fast,to be something so BIG

Kyleigh is a gorgeous Mac, Stephen,and the arm waving is a cute excersize to watch lol.

Well, this isn't a picture of Kyleigh, those will come later today. But, it is my first attempt at making a PVC perch. Here's some background me. I am the Associate Director of Media Services & Operations and the School I work for. I hang heavy speakers, big projectors, smart boards, fix computers, anything related to technology whether it is fixing or operating I do...That being said...

I am not..and will never be a handy man. Okay, I shouldn't say never. Nonetheless...this is my first attempt at a perch for Kyleigh. I made it so she can practice perching a bit more outside of her cage.

Excuse the mess in the room..my wife and I have everything on the floor because we are relocating what is in that room and converting it into Kyleigh's room.

 

[Birdman666]

Yeah, well, excuse the mess in my entire house.

I have birds, and a teenager...

PVC is pretty easy to work with. You can make some pretty nice playstands out of the stuff, and it's a lot like playing with "Tinker Toys" as a kid.

In other words, you don't need to be all that handy to pull off some pretty nice stuff.

Also, you can make bird atoms from dollar store hula hoops. Somewhere on here there's a tutorial for that one as well.

 

[AmyMyBlueFront]

Looks to me that you nailed it pretty good there Stephen..now I have this outside door that kinda doesn't latch right..interested in hanging it correctly for me??:11:
