He has his claws. There's no way I'd do anything like that to a friend. Nobody will sleep on that mattress and box springs after I pass anyway

Very cute Iffy Signals. They are meant to be pampered. Mine all or were rescues and you just never knew what kind of life they had before, so I try to make them as happy as comfortable as I can. We receive so much from them. Is yours a male or female, and his/her name ?

I am intrigued because of the life span. I get to attached and then my companions pass, birds live for so long that they would outlast me. What are the drawbacks of parrots ?

My African Grey...Is Still In My Trust! LOL! He passed a couple of years ago...I'd had him for almost 30yrs, never been sick, huge vocabulary in many voices.
He somehow caught a virus, the Dr thought..(I didn't have an autopsy done on him)late on a Saturday Night and I called his Dr who told me to bring him in Sunday morning at 7am..He died 15 minutes later in my hand leaning against my chest. He coughed/sneezed and just died. It about killed me.. he was like a kid.
I still can't get over not hearing him talking and laughing.

I am so sorry Kace. You are correct in them being like our children and especially after 30 years, lots of memories. Sad he passed in your arms, but then again, what better place. Just makes you feel helpless wondering what else could you have done or did differently. Every day I think about Simon and Max and the what if's. When Simon was put asleep they had to trim the hair from his ankle in order to put the needle in. I have kept that patch of hair and look at it each morning when I get up. With Max, I trimmed off some of his pretty hair and keep it next to Simon's so I can see each day also.

Another way to get rid of the skunk smell is fresh tomatoes, squeeze and rub.

Thank You Simon! I'm sorry for your losses too. That's nice you kept some of their hair.
It hurts so bad losing Any of them...This hit me differently due to his talking so well. African Greys will talk in the exact same voice they heard a person say things...Like for instance, I stayed at my parents while work was being done at my home and EVERY Morning at 5:30am (ugh) My Dad would come down the hall and say 'Time To Get Up...Breakfast Is About Ready'...He also would stay with them when I traveled a lot.. They loved him.
My father passed away and Still..Every Morning at 5:30am I heard my father saying 'Time To Get Up..etc'. He sang in My Mothers voice. At 10:30pm After the news, in one of their voices he'd say 'Well, Time to go to bed'.
He talked in so many voices including grandparents and other family and friends, some of who had died. Having him talking in their voices made them still there in some way. It's hard for humans sometimes to remember voices of those who've died...He remembered Every One. He called the dogs and cats by name, knew his name and mine, his address and phone number...I could go on and on.
I'd always wanted one and my Grandmother had called me to come over to her house one day. She says, we're not going to be here for another 50yrs, but I want you to remember us and how much we love you. She handed me an envelope of money and a cassette tape and says..Go Buy That African Grey you've wanted and play this tape for him after he learns to talk.
So I did...And I thought after going to the vet, he very easily could outlive me and his Dr said that I better make arrangements for him in the event I died before him. I did, but since he passed first I've not taken it out. I should do that I guess since I made provisions for him.
YOUNG Parrots are not for middle aged people unless there is someone that they and the bird know that's younger. Parrot rescue organizations are good places.
Some friends of mine have a Macaw and they are divorcing..The bird hates him, but he's fighting her in court for custody. He's a jerk.. doesn't care what the bird wants.

That would be very tough, and emotional having someone talk in the exact tone and words as a family member who passed. At certain times that would be so nice, but at certain times, so painful. But, hearing the voices of the loved ones who passed would certainly help in keeping those fond memories even fonder.
Unfortunately, divorce can bring out the worst. I have heard of wive's fighting to get the husbands beloved car and only then to sell it to someone for a couple dollars for revenge. Pets should never be placed in that kind of situation in my opinion.
