OK.....I lost (don't know how) your message about your Grey...and what Barb thinks of "pluck no more". I didn't get to read the whole thing...before I went to read your personal letter....and now I can't find it.

Can you email it to me, please??

By the way....what is your first name?

Mine is Valerie

Yes, please do let me know when you are visiting again. My hubby & I can take you and your hubby to some good restaurants (that they can pigout in)....I'm over the pigging out thing or at least I will be after surgery. I was denied last Friday, so, I have a fight on my hands....I'm appealing with my insurance company.

Hmmmmmm, wine country! I want to go there and visit on vacation with my hubby....I'm the wino, he loves his rum....but, he'll drink some wine. When we decide to go (at least a couple of years from now), I'll have to let you know that we are coming to your neck of the woods. LOL

About your Grey, if he is plucking again, I might can help. I sell something called "Feather-In" by Avitech and its really wonderful for pluckers. Its kinda like an oatmeal bath that you mix and spray on them 1-2 daily. It has really helped my guys and I know that Barb @ Second Chance uses it too....so does my friend in NY with the other rescue (where I'm going on Thurs). It also molting season...huge...and most birds are loosing feathers and getting new ones.

It can be loud sometimes....not overly though. Our guys/girls spend a lot of time outside, when we are home. Every weekend though, its cleaning time. I'm telling ya, a power washer is wonderful!

My inlaws aren't far from you. They live in New Smyrna. Next time we visit, I'll look you up. Hopefully by that time we'll both be a lot thinner. We just were down there in January, so I don't think we'll be visiting soon. My husband and I just bought land in the Finger Lakes, which is wine country. We'll be making the winery rounds this summer. Maybe we'll even grow some grapes eventually.

I was referring to "Second Chance". I haven't visited there yet, but I go to their website. My Grey is a Congo. We had finally gotten her to stop plucking. Her plumage was beautiful. Then yesterday I noticed that her tail was gone and there are a whole lot of feathers on the bottom of her cage. She also has some belly feathers gone again. I don't get it. I'll bet your house is noisy with all those birds, and I can't imagine the poop you have to clean up every day. Oh well, they are great fun, so it's worth it.

Thanks! I'm going to get to yes....just a matter of time. My friend that I'm going to visit has a rescue also. She has something like 50 birds....all breeds, including 2 Hys. Are you referring to "Second Chance Bird Rescue" in NY? I know the owner, but we aren't friends...we have very different outlooks on what a rescue should be & do. Good for you and your hubby for rescuing the African Grey (Congo or Timi) and the cockatiel too. I currently have a grand total of 8 birds. I have 3 cockatoo's, 1 Indian Ring Neck, 3 cockatiels & babysitting a Congo Grey.


I'm flying into Newburgh Airport on Thursday around 12noon. I'm really excited!! I'm going to visit my friend in Hopewell Junction.....and we are gonna hit a couple of Winery's or two. LOL My hubby & I have our own business here in Cocoa Beach.....cocoabeachwinery.com check it out if you like wine. We are 100% fruit based...NO grape. What's on the label, is what is in the bottle.
