    Please help....

    Ok, done a little reading, not that much though lol Are this pair 'bonded' to each other?  If yes, my advice would be to take a massive step back and let them come to you... which they may do, but equally they may never come to you if they prefer their own company :) Do they go out of their...

    What To Use For Birds To Chew?

Have a look here for toy ideas and as Lisa says, willow is good, also apple wood if you can get your hands on it.  As long as it's not growing next to the road, just chop off a branch, give it a good scrub... hey presto, best...

    Are These Safe To Feed?

    Tascha, I wonder if they could be similar to Rowan berries [well chuffed, managed to grab some more earlier] in that they have to be cooked or frozen for human consumption?   But fine for the birds? Still not worth the hassle though when there so much other good stuff out there?

    It looks like she has caught her nail maybe :dntknw:    They are so bloody clumsy at that age :) As for what to do.. I will leave others more knowing to do that :) I'm sure she'll be fine. Is it bothering her much?

    Dusky - What Can I Do

    Also... If you're gonna do the three minute time out thing, set a timer [even that's not fail-safe as I have often left the house for the garden only to return an hour later to hear Dave whispering 'Hello' in his have you forgotten me voice  :laugh:   :laugh:   :laugh: ] for it to be most...

    Dusky - What Can I Do

    The only advice I can give you Kendra is to have a look back at this thread of mine... I don't know if you saw it at the time but it is what is still working for us :) http://www.theparrotclub.co.uk/topic/18580-so-a-bit-about-dave/ It's so hard isn't it :dntknw:    Each bird is so individual...
