Yes, the parrots love chips, and Jordan the grey makes it known, she sees chips…..home made ones.
She says, her usual…”yum yum.” No one ignores Jordan when she speak!

Mrs. G the silent amazon knows Jordan the grey will speak for her! (her spokesparrot)

one beak bite at a time…..gotta enjoy this chip! (healthy and homemade with no salt)

There is nothing better than basketball… but even better is a game played by parrots!
Not sure which team won…but it seemed as though the game was a close call!

I think deep down, Jordan wants to be a mum…for since we adopted her, she has always had an affinity for caring for her golf balls….beaking them to under her body as if to nest with them.

international eggs!
She now is about, 20 years old and this is the first time she has layed an acutal egg.
She was quiet for days….and then it happened. [September, 2nd] ….there was 1 egg.


early in the afternoon……

…later in the afternoon as you see the sun setting.
She remains quiet in the day, less chattering, but very sweet, allowing me to pet her. It is sorta sad, for she must really want this chick….and of course it is not a fertile egg. Mrs. G, the lilac crown amazon sits near by and just watches.
I shall let her sit and care for her egg for a bit, and in a few weeks, take it away, or hopefully she will leave it on her own. I have had other female birds do this, but they did not tend to their egg.

Gee, the day was so nice and yes, the night was nice too………….but basically Rani macaw got left out side on her perch….such a quiet kid…
Morning came and she was on the fence, not far from her perch tree…She was a lil crabby all day, probably cuz she did not sleep that well…

hmm, the grass is greener on the other side!

good thing no night visitors ….i would be queen of the fence up here… and my beak is not anything to take for granted!

so you want me to come down now???

let me get this straight….tonight i want to sleep in the house!
beakie kisses : > —- sorry rani, should have left the back door open….she does sorta wander in and out of the house!

Dear Jordan,
i have an Amazon, blue front, that has just recently started to fall of the perch at night. Nothing has changed in the cage, her mate does not fall, and she seems to move a little sluggish and uncoordinated when i see her in the day. Do you have ant idea why this is happening to her?
Ricardo
just Mrs. G perching and sleeping …how does she do it with only one foot on the perch???
Dear Ricardo,
Yes, this might seem frightening to hear a thud in the middle of the night and find out your parrot fell off her perch.
There can be a number of reasons your parrot is falling off her perch at night.
- could there be something close by alarming the bird at night.. a noise, an animal walking by?
- are the perches too slick
- is your parrot moving around her cage and misgauging where things are because maybe you moved things around? [this is where a simple night time cage would help]
If you are not able on your own figure out what can be the problem seeing the vet would be in proper order to make sure your parrot does not have any deficiencies or possible seizers.
I sure hope it is nothing major that was the issue, but it is always a good thing to have a very knowledgeable bird vet handy on your list of important numbers.
