I have been listening to your CD's to continue with "my" training. She slowly is trusting more. She will take treats from everyone in the house and not just me. This in itself is a big step for her. She would run, run, run if she saw either one of our teenagers walking toward her cage. I continue her regimen 2x a day and I am learning how better to contriol her diet for our sessions. As she is only 9 months old we could not have chosen a better time to attend your highly informative seminar. Thank you again. Sue and John Rather and Bella! “Bella”, our Eclectus is coming along.

Accountability is only to myself, since I live alone with My Pets, Children, LOL! I have been trying however NOT to eat after 9pm, Chet! Speaking of eating, I have been preparing LOTS of brown rice and fresh veggie meals for my birds, augmenting their diets by feeding more than just pellets and seeds. It seems to be going well for all but a couple, my Teil and Lovebird, who aren't interested in new things yet! But I will continue to give them the chance to try it! I made Birdie Bread too, with Bran Muffin Mix, Ground Pellets, Raisins, Hulled Sunflower Seeds, Cranberries, and More. It's a Hit, and tastes pretty darn good! When I got home Sunday night, all my Children were very happy to see me! I realized at the Seminar, my Bird's are pretty well adjusted, compared to other stories folks shared. First thing Monday morning, I picked up my Baby Blue Parrotlet, I got from Marge of Two Sister's, and there was blood on my hand. I thought at first I was bleeding, but, NO, it was her blood feather. I ran out, in my PJ's, jumped in the car, and flew to the local Bird Store. The owner showed me how to remove the bleeding feather by pushing it in and pulling out quickly. What a relief! I am afraid if it had happened while I was gone, I might have lost my Baby Blue, since they can bleed out fast! I also learned to use Baking Soda, to pack and stop bleeding. Back to the Seminar...The Fear Factor...ah yes, being afraid myself, has been a barrier in my Bird's Training! I am much less afraid of being bitten, and this past week have spent more time holding my Birds that let me, and allowing them to spend more time out of their cages (all of them)! My Lovebird, Peaches is the smartest! She has been working on flight training, as well as target training! I always take her out of her cage to clean it, and put her on a tree. She likes to catch me unaware, when I have my back to her, and fly landing on my back! I live out in the country, and my Neighbor is helping me to create foraging treat logs to hang in the cages, with sea shells, and coral calcium. Chet, I will send you one to see how you like them! Jamie, I am making you a pair of beaded earrings that look like Bondi! Looking forward to reading everyone's comments! I'd be happy to hear from any of you! Nancy twfancy@yahoo.com Hello to All!
