I'm sincerely hoping he doesn't mind having his nails trimmed. Little goober keeps jumping up on top of my head, and his toenails are super picky. I have to go shopping for toys tomorrow. Luckily, I picked up a BIG parrot cage and the poultry show the Sunday before Memorial day. It's an old cage, but in excellent shape and it only cost $15.00. I bought it for whatever I might need it for, never expecting to have a parrot. Well, it will be perfect for Baby Beeper, plenty of room to roam, plenty of room for LOTS of toys. I have to tell you, this bird hasn't spent much time in his cage, if he's not with me, my son has him. Gary is in love with MY bird, and spoils the little beast as much as I do.

You need to keep a close watch on that bird with stuff like this going on in Maine:

Daryl, have you sterilized that cage??? Parrots tend to leave food encrusted in every nook & cranny of their cage. Used cages used to house some bird and you don't know if it died of a disease or old age. Scrub with brush and soapy water, rinse clean, sponge completely with 1 cup of bleach in a QUART of water, let set15 minutes and hose rinse it clean again then let it air dry. Hopefully you can do this outside.

For members who don't know this species of bird:

Yepper! We have some really, really, really devious members here (in a good way)! I have my own, personal list of "suspects" but don't really have a clue as to who all pulled this off. Well done to all of the undercover Beeper agents!

That is SOOOO wonderful Daryl I'm just so thrilled for you - read the whole thread and it just brought tears to my eyes - I love it when good things happen to good people.

If Kelly is still having problems posting the pictures she can email them to me and I'll gladly post them (since I'm also dying to see them ). Can reach me at dezirrae@optonline.net

Congratulations again - and give Baby Beeps a smooch for me

Yes, but, luckily I have a cousin who has two of the happiest, healthiest african greys that I can ask for info from. That, and I joined a Meyers group on Yahoo yesterday, after B.B. came home.

Well, I'm sure glad Terry didn't post the first picture Kelly took of me. My mouth must have been wide open, and I was bawling like a baby.
I'm going out to wash cage, it's raining fit to beat the band, but no thunder, so I guess, as sweet as I am, I won't melt. Boy, did I have fun buying toys, checked out everything before I bought it to make sure a certain little beak couldn't pull it apart in a way that could cause injury to B.B. Next will be to find a neat cagetop playpen.

Sounds like he's settling in at home nicely! He must be so thrilled, what a big adventure for him. I would think you could talk to the man who went to visit him at the shop, and see what kind of a feeling you get from him? If he seems safe then you could decide to invite him over (with other people home of course). That's very nice of you to think of.
