I swear it's going to be like a petting zoo hahaha
you really are evil aren't you!!!! Helping to gather a cyberbully gang of amazons, not enough, now we're going with guilt....
Least you didn't add in things like... What is Rosie doing right now while Ivory has dinner at the table with you.... her own plate, not poor Rosie...
Tho I did just say I was trading Ivory, she chewed a hole in the shoulder of a light cardigan I am wearing over a sweater dress today... joked I could trade her for Chyna and Rosie
So what's the next step in this Rosie campaign, should I be weary of dark paneled vans parked outside tomorrow?? Run if I see anyone carrying hoods?
My husband is only shaking his head... tho admit, he never says no to me or Victoria... how we ended up with 10 birds to begin with... tho he did pick out Ivory, but that's a whole another story. I can actually use that as good ammunition if he says no to Rosie... Ivory was supposed to be his bird and I got 'stuck' with her.... hmmmm.....
I just hope the $1000 adoption fee means he'll be sticking around until later this year when we start looking to buy an actual house and I would feel comfortable going and meeting him. But no one needs to know who or what or where he is:54:
If Percy can come home with me, I'll definitely take a zon!!!
Those photos are beyond cute, did you have them just stashed on your computer or did Percy model for all of those??
This is why mums the word on my current birdie crush
:11::52: You mean...you're saying....you don't TRUST us?? Your fellow parronts?? 
:31:

If you can't trust US what is becoming of this world?? :21:
. Especially if there will be a nice playgym on top... :54:
How are the bruises healing?
ha, video didn't work - I took that video myself!!! You can hear Folger in the background
We are going over next week to photo and video new birds coming in, I'll talk to the shelter before then about adoption paperwork... you guys are all such pushy bullies, I should probably check my arms for bruising...
As for him being so quiet... he screams out hot bananas randomly and also says 'f*&$ing aye'... thankfully no children here, just hope he doesn't teach Ivory or Folger!!
Still have to figure out how to get him to fit into the pantry....
But, now that I've caved to peer pressure... question about cage size for Amazons. Is a 36 x 24 x 24 decent size? That is a tier on a 3 stacker Victoria has.... He would not stay in that permanently, just until we move. Here is a pic of Ivory in the cage (Tor took this for size comparison). Ivory is about 280g, so she's not a large bare eyed. Rosie is definitely heftier, but just does not seem nearly as active as Ivory or Folger.
That cage should be fine, so long as he's not in it all the time (which I would certainly hope he wouldn't be). Amazons may not be cuddly birds, but they are really social and like being "near" their flock. Kiwi's cage is actually a little smaller than yours-http://dogcollaroutlet.com/products/fancy-victorian-top-open-top-bird-cage-black?gclid=CIjR76LCkr0CFcRi7AodsWsAIw but he's rarely locked in it except to sleep. He spends so much time on his play tree, and even more time on his t-perch or just plain "around" with us, we've never needed a monster cage for him. And while Kiwi definitely goes after his toys and dances, he's no where near as active as a cockatoo. He spends a lot of time just "hanging out". I know Kiwi really loves the open top on his cage too. I open it up in the morning, and leave it open all day (unless I'm running out) He likes to take his daily "bath" in his water dish:52: then goes up to the very top of the open cage to take his adorable afternoon nap
If Rosie is (or will be flighted) I'd be most concerned about having a portable perch. Amazons will "follow" you if they can fly, and you will want a place you can always have near you where he can hang out and poop and not chew up the furniture. If he will be clipped, just bring him with you on the perch. Just because he can't come flying after you doesn't mean he won't still want to be right there
Ivory literally is out of the cage if someone (anyone) is home, Rosie would have that same routine. I made the outside of Ivory's cage a play gym because she had such a hatred of the cage when she first came to us, so started with making the outside fun and it just happens to still work for her and us. We have one of the large rolling pvc stands (which I don't like) and hubby is making a custom wood stand for Folger, so we may need to either build two stands and put the pvc up in the loft for use after we move if needed; or I saw an awesome hanging play gym that I thought of early on for Ivory... here is a link... Hanging Parrot Gym Play Tree Swing Toy Cage African Grey Amazon Eclectus Ect | eBay I am a big believer of birds having their wings unless there is a safety issue (like Folger trying to eat me or Dante being an idiot flyer).
