Wow, what a story. I applaud you for sticking with it, finding a (sort of) solution to make everybody's life safer and a bit easier. You go girl!
Please, keep us updated on what you have learned about diffusing and how to use it.
Yes, I also follow Coco's blog, and I trust her research 100%, if Coco is using it .. lol .. given her high standards for safely and quality, then I feel good about using it too.
Yes, the right EOs are a little on the pricey side, but if they do what they're supposed to, it would be completely worth it. I'm just waiting until I take the seminar to learn a bit more, but I know I'll soon be diffusing with EOs. If it has the positive effects that I've read about, not only might I not need to dose Ayeko with anything, I think my entire flock will benefit from diffusing as well.
In this instance you are 1000% correct! I feel absolutely ZERO guilt about using supplements to make everything a happier existence!Better living through pharmaceuticals!
Well, you know where I stand! Now to find a pharmacy that will fill my script with the name brand for my tooth rather than the generic...people can be so cheap sometimes!

You talkin crap bout me again!!!Well, you know where I stand! Now to find a pharmacy that will fill my script with the name brand for my tooth rather than the generic...people can be so cheap sometimes!
Yes, it really bothers me that I have to keep Ayeko clipped .. for now anyway. When his flights grow out, I'll see where we are at in our journey together. Hoping that I'll be able to give him his flight back at some point.I just read this....am going to get some Avi Calm for Rosco and see if this improves his mood even more!
We also have to keep him clipped - he really turns when he knows he can fly - it's easier to get away from a running Caique than a flying one. It's for all our own safety and wellness. It makes me sad that he can't be allowed to fly, but he does so much better when "grounded" - our other boys are fully flighted, but they also don't have the Jekyll/Hyde issues Rosco does.
Thank you for your story! It's nice to know we're not alone in our adventure
I know someone who had a BHC that bit her, and dug his beak through her skin. She had to cut her skin open to get his beak out because he would NOT let go... YIKES!The worst and most frightening attacks I have ever endured from parrots have been from BHC's. I do not wish to over-generalize, but when a BHC attacks, they do not just bite but actually grind their beak and in one case, I had a mature male who hopped, bit, ground and twisted his beak all the way up my arm before I could get him off of me. While it seemed to me at the time that the attack came out of nowhere, I knew that something must have triggered the attack. And it is not just a gender-based behavior....I had a female BHC who was equally as vicious in her attacks.
Merlie, how are things going now? Any updates on the tea and avicalm effects?
