I have a one year old male ****atiel that is handicap. He cannot perch. One leg is deformed and sits near his body and other foot is okay, but not strong enough to perch on one leg. He's been this way since 5 weeks old. He jumped from a perch onto the grill of the cage and it either gave way or his foot went into the grill. Anyways, his hip for lack of a better term was broken. When took to the vet; she could not tell if permanent or temp broke. He is a happy little guy and flies whereever he needs to go. I have an aviary inside my home and have taken a 2' and 4' long ladders and put one across the cage and one to the side of cage. He hops onto them. Also have 3 wire shelves attached to cage that he can sit on to sip water. I have fake rock ledges where his food is in small lipped containers clipped to the cage. He can plop himself right in it. so that's my setup and looking to find out what others are using. His name is The Gimp, Gimppy,

Our African Greys rule over 4 dogs, 7 cats and 2 guinea pigs. They strut across the floor, up the side of the couch to help us eat what ever we're munching on. Hope is 7 yrs old and Tango (T-Bird) is 18 mos old and makes a racket! (her favorite term is "Wake up, Goofball") she also whistles various movie and TV themes. They're also known as "Goofball Gamino" "Professor Poopenkrapper" and "Princess Poopenkrapper". Hope & Tango want to help in the kitchen, while cleaning, on the computer and especially when I'm making foot toys for them OR their lunch! I hope to chat with you all some more

Alex came into my life almost two years ago and has been a joy ever since that day I got him. Alex is not my first parrot I have owned but he is my most quit one I have ever owned.
