Hi Bethany! Thank you. I am all over the place..:D

In the wild they huddle together, clinging in groups to keep up their temp at night. They also love sand, so I keep sand and chinchilla dust{minerals} in a bowl in the bottom of his cage. Thank you:)

Thank you. You are so right about the hair! Furminator to the rescue!:D

Thank you Michelle. Here are a couple sleeping pics of Gryphon.:D

Thank you!

Well you did not give me the kleenex warning! Wow, great story, but a tear jerker. Even Troy was brought to tears.:cry:

The tail is very stiff, the feathers are like fur. They can go into torpor. A very odd but loving and sweet bird. He gets around amazingly well, for having short wings, a long tail and legs, and huge feet.:) I use flat cajeput coffee table perches, and bottlebrush tree perches, since they are...

Oh thank you! He is my buddy. He has come such a long way. I consider him a rescue, he was living in deplorable conditions, wrong food, no toys. Look at him now! It took about a year of working through his fear, but now he is a sweet bird .:smitten::smitten:

Another old thread.:( Sadly, Sheba began plucking severely at around age 12{most likely hormonal} It led to self mutilation.:main_no: I wrestled with my feelings about her, tried everything I could to get her to stop, but in the end I found a better environment for her. She is now thriving once...

Wow, found this old thread of mine.:) Here are some more recent pics.:D that is NOT all my fur... Favorite pastime Looking like an Akita

Hey, there is a reptile show here for two days at the end of the month. I read about it yesterday, and noticed they will have someone there to check stool samples. Is this an ok way to do this? He looks really healthy, so I am not thinking it is extremely necessary to take him to my vet, and pay...

Reading back through your posts now... This is funny, critters just seem to have a way of finding those who will take care of them. About five years ago, a huge purple land crab was on my patio at an apt. I lived in at the time. He had a big hole in his shell, and was suffering from improper...
