Hi from Micky
Sorry for the late reply... Mom and I cannot believe I am 9 years old already. I came to Mom when I was only a couple of months old and now I am a big boy and so independent. My entire flock lucked out because Mom cleaned all our cages outdoors and she gave every birdy a new toy, but I got TWO new toys and some treats. To make things better, I got BOTD. What more could a bird want. Spending a day in that Man Cave with King Jetta was something a bit different from the usual castle experience but it was loads of fun. Thanks so much for coming by to wish me a Happy Hatchday and to congratulate me on BOTD. I do hope you got a piece of the cake Lizzie baked - she is the best! Mom made cookies but they don't compare to the cake. Sorry Mom... giving Mom a kiss. See you on the baseball field!Come visit me, Leroy, Little Bit & Chloe - Thank you everybirdy!!, Gizmo - Thanks everybirdy for BOTD!, Max, Jasper, Right Fielder for the MAJOR LEAGUE BEAKS, Micky - Thanx for the Hatchday Wishes & BOTD!, Pepper - Thanks everybirdy for BOTD!, TiPaul - I'm a SILVER SLUGGER, Floop - Thanx for the Bday wishes & for BOTD, Marley - BOTD again! It is not possible!, Zak - Thank you everybirdy for BOTD! & Lee-Roial RIP - Thanks for remembering me..

Hi Grendle from the Triplet Greys
As on our page, Mom told a brief story of how we came to her. Actually two of us went to homes but Chloe came back and bonded so close to Mom, she never should have been the one to go anywhere. Kaylee moved to another home, against the contract that was signed, but Mom is in touch with the new Mom who is fantastic. Now, with hatchdays, and BOTD, we have been partying since the beginning of the month. First Leroy, then BOTM, and then Chloe, and Mom said it is LittleBit's hatchday tomorrow, but I, Leroy decided to take a stand as the only guy and I asked mom to please make a list of everybirdy who came to visit us, so we can give a joint thank you or we will be so behind we will never catch up. Mom had greyt plans of baking a cake tonight, so I had news for her - she is doing it early tomorrow morning. Chloe...let's do this together, you know how. We practiced. *Thank you everybirdy for coming by our page, to wish us separate Happy Hatchdays, to congratulate us on BOTD... what LittleBit... but your hatchday is only tomorrow... but I want to say it too... oh alright... let's start again...Thank you everybirdy for coming by our page, to wish us separate happy Hatchdays, and to congratulate us for getting BOTD, AND a VERY special thank you goes out to LIZZIE - who bakes us each our own Hatchday cake, which was big enough to share with our flocks, and all those who came to see us on our special days!*
Mom has something to say here now. Having Greys is special, but having Greys who are sibblings is a whole different ballgame. they think together, they plan together, and you never know what is going on in their heads, but they know what is going on in each others head all the time. They are amazing to have around.Come visit me, Leroy, Little Bit & Chloe - Thank you everybirdy!!, Gizmo - Thanks everybirdy for BOTD!, Max, Jasper, Right Fielder for the MAJOR LEAGUE BEAKS, Micky - Thanx for the Hatchday Wishes & BOTD!, Pepper - Thanks everybirdy for BOTD!, TiPaul - I'm a SILVER SLUGGER, Floop - Thanx for the Bday wishes & for BOTD, Marley - BOTD again!

Hi Grendel and flock
Thank you so much for this honor of BOTD!! We were so surprised to find out I won it and mom gave me a new happy hut for winning too..woooo hooo! This evening mom and dad went to the one grand daughters softball games. It was a good game and in the beginning they weren’t winning but in the end they did and the team was very excited too. The grand is a good pitcher and helped the team get ahead in the game and won the game ball which she will get her team mates to all sign. “Roses are red, violets are blue, I just left a vote for you.” Your kissing cousin, Chi chi.Come visit me, Gus & Chi chi ..

Hi Grendel
Your looking greyt yourseld..You are so sweet and thoughtful to come by to visit me on my hatch day, because you did, I get the honor of being your BOTD, what could be better than that, you made me feel extra special! After breakfast I was given one of uncle Chucks new toys, Romeo had to get one too, if not he'd probably take mine away..It's been a wonderful two day. I've been able to be outside both days, Mom brought me my favorite treat, white cheddar cheese, just a tiny piece but it sure was yummy, of coarse Romeo and CoCo got one to. The only bad thing that happened was Mom covered me in a towel had her grandson hold me and clipped my wings and nails, I was screaming, unhand me you idiots, don't you know I'm the King, all I got in return was a giggle and was asked if I had read the King's manual, it says the
Kings Mother always rules, that really bites..I think she just made that up..I can't even throw her in the dungeon like I'd like to..lol..I have to go for now, I have lot's of friends to visit before my day is done..Big hugs from Rustyust say your looking greyt too..Come visit me, CoCoPuff, Rusty Playing 2nd Base for the Greyt Grey Wings, Smokey, Sunny, Bobbitt & Buttecup, Romeo Thank You Daddy Chuck for My New Toys & Our Angel Wings Toy Shoppe.

Hi Grendel;
SPOTLIGHT on CARING-ANGEL BERTIE'S GYM
Hi everyone, SKY here with a special feature blog. Today's Spotlight on Caring guest is the Proprietor of ANGEL BERTIE'S RAINBOW Gym, my daughter Ms Chirps. Page # 247770
SKY; In light on the growing numbers of bird friends flying to the Rainbow Bridge due to health problems related to obesity, I understand you, Spot and Momma Rea decided to open the gym. Is this correct?
Ms Chirps; Absolutely. It is alarming the number of BC birds that are over weight and out of shape. We decided to open the gym to help teach birdies to exercise and to have seminars of food and health issues.
SKY; That is a wonderful idea. I know that too many of us eat to well, exercise to little.
Ms Chirps: Yes, it's very true. We hope to help stimulate owner/bird exercises to increase our life spans and avoid health problems.
SKY: To help promote this endeavor YOU will be hosting the first ever Rainbow Gym indoor birdie GAMES next week?
Ms Chirps: YES. On Saturday MARCH 9th and SUNDAY MARCH 10th we will be having a full range of events. Boys versus girls. There will be something for every bird to take part in. The complete list is posted on ANGEL BERTIE'S RAINBOW GYM page.
SKY; How does a bird register to take part?
Ms. Chirps: come to page # 247770 read the list and leave a quick entry blog.
SKY: thank you Ms Chirps. SO, every bird, come take part in this fun competition!!

Hi Grendel;
Spotlightlight on Caring--February 6th-Cappy
February 6th SPOTLIGHT on CARING-Cappy part 3
Hello BC friends, Sky here with the conclusion to our interview with my good friend Cappy & his Mom Terri. I wish to take this opportunity to THANK all our dear friends who have stopped by with condolences and floral gifts for our sweet fister RUBY, a Blue Crown Conure who left us last Thursday evening. Your love has helped us through this most difficult time. Now back to the "REST OF THE STORY"
SKY: tell us you did when your where faced with all these health issues on a newly adopted bird?
Terri: We did call the guy we bought him from to let him know that Cappy was very sick and the guy had the gall to ask me why I had taken him to the vet. He did offer to have us return him but I was already committed to Cappy and knew this guy would NOT do what was right by Cappy or his other birds. He wouldn’t entertain the idea of helping with the vet bill. I was so mad I ended up calling the Oklahoma City bird mart and sent out the alarm that I had purchased a very sick bird there. I believe they have since closed the Oklahoma City Bird Marts! I have tried to contact head office about this dealer but never got a response. I sent out the alarm also to local bird clubs that I found online. I was so upset that people out there don’t care one lick for the health and happiness of these beautiful creatures nor do they care about anything other than the almighty dollar. I suspect this dealer continues to sell sick birds but I have sent out messages to everyone I can think of to not buy from him.
Sky: can you give us a few ideas what other problems you then had to work through?
Terri: After Cappy became healthy he started attacking my husband at what seemed like every turn and he had melt down when Rudy would fly by him which resulted in bad bites to my husband. My husband has had his ears pierced twice, his nose pierced once, his eyebrow pierced once and his fingers pretty near shredded on numerous occasions. Please note that we do not generally allow him on the shoulder … he typically launches himself from the arm or lap to your face or just chews away at the fingers. As we watched and tried to figure out what caused these attacks we learned a few things.
Sky: please continue. I know we all are interested in your observations:
Terri: Cappy is a daddy’s boy, he is very attached to my husband and looks for and to him. Cappy had been known to attack women but I have been very lucky in that he hasn’t attacked or hurt me to the extent he has my husband. The old axiom of hurting the one you love the most seems to fit hereCome visit me, JESSE, AMANDO, a Rain Forest Raider, little angel, jack, Sarah Little Bird, rally,, ANGEL, I'm a SILVER SLUGGER, 2nd baser, Zeena, I'm a Major League Beak, SKY & Miss BB, Lupe', flynn, Poncho, Casey & Tia ready for the Derby, broken wings, broken promises & CASPER, I'm a White Hawk!!!.

conclusion
2) Cappy didn’t like people talking with their hands (he would go into meltdown screaming and attack mode) – We are still working to de-sensitize him to moving hands … we suspect he has been hit in the past and that is the cause for his overreaction.I have tried to make a game with my hand movements so he understands that I am not going to hurt him and now he may even get a little playful with regards to hand movements. Playing peek-a-boo with larger hand movement is one method I have used
3)Cappy doesn’t like to be put in his cage – My husband would get bitten nightly at Cappy’s bedtime …. He just never wanted to be put to bed no matter what time it was. We have to towel him every night and put him in his cage inside the towel and then close the door and reach in and get the towel. That prevents Cappy from biting and he doesn’t get near as worked up about going to bed.
4) Cappy LOVES towels …. Strange as it seems he loves to be toweled and hugged and snuggled. When Cappy starts into a meltdown a towel can calm him down rather quickly, we just towel him, hug him and tell him he is ok and we love him and he settles down …. most of the time we can release him and he will remain calm but sometimes he may not and then we have to put him in his cage for timeout.
As we have learned and implemented the things above Cappy has become much calmer and the bites have subsided a lot …. We still have them now and then but they are not as intense and they are becoming less frequent. Another thing we have learned is that when he is in a meltdown we must remain calm and patient and to reduce our energy as well and that makes a huge difference in how Cappy responds to us.
SKY;Please tell us one or more things you feel are important to share with other bird owners?
Terri: Patience, Love, Understanding, the ability to put yourself in their feathers can go a long way to solving many problems. Bites can be the most difficult thing to endure, because as humans we do take it personally, and bites HURT. But we can learn to understand, respect and prevent future bites to a certain extent. Every bird has their own unique personality and as such they all present different body language that we as humans must learn to read and understand. It can be summed up in the words of my husband’s two co-workers. One said I had to be totally committed to the welfare of our birds and the other said I just needed to be totally committed. One thing that seemed to help my husband deal with Cappy’s biting is the way he viewed it. He used the analogy of getting a 4 year old human child that had been bounced around 4 or 5 different homes in a short period of time and how would that child react and how would you respond.
Sky: Cappy, Mom Terri thank you so much for this very informative interview. I hope we all can gain something from it.
with my heart filled with love,
