What a great board this is! So many wonderful bird owners sharing their experience and know-how to us "newbies"!

I came on this morning to ask about beak issues...(the layered rough look that keeps changing)..and then I saw on the Health thread that it is normal for it to peel off like that in layers sort of like fingernails. I need to get one of those rough perches to allow Patience to scratch it off.

I love that I have a place to research and learn more about my Picephalus. Now If I could just learn how to properly say that word!

In no time at all you’ll be one of the, “many wonderful bird owners sharing their experience and know-how to us ‘newbies’”. We all have something to offer to each other.

As for the pronunciation of Poicephalus, I’ve always heard it as:
Poy -- as if saying boy with a “P”
se – with the “se” sounding like the “se” in self
fa -- – with the “fa” sounding like the “fa” in farther
lus -- – with the “lus” sounding like the “lus” in lust

Poy-se-fa-lus

Now you’re an expert.

THANK you Pepper! I think I can say it now because of you! I appreciate you typing it out like that.

I look forward to sharing and learning on this board very much. Now that my kids are on Summer Break I can slow down a bit and have a little fun "computer time" for myself. Patience loves sitting with me at my desk as I type. She usually falls asleep. I guess the typing is soothing to her...or boring. *lol*

I really like your signature Pictaker. Very original.
Have any other pictures of Patience and perhaps of Kermit too?

Thank you Poicephalus girl! I love dabbling in photoshop. May I shorten your name to at least PG? *lol* You all can call me Cari if you like.

I have a few pictures of Patience online, none of Kermit yet...but tonight I was going to upload one or two.

Here is a few recent pics of Patience...you have to go to the bottom and click "next" and "previous" to see all of them.

Patience the Parrot

I want to read you blog later when I get some time and see your videos as well.
