Okay, I’ve done it. I’ve cataloged most all my books. I still have some computer books at work I need to catalog, but for this blog I think I’m complete. I’ve organized the books into sections and I’ll also make the list available for download should you choose to keep it as a reference for…

Category Archives: African Grey ParrotCoco, our African Grey Parrot, loves to talk. I’m not even sure she makes any typical Parrot noises. The problem is, Coco is no dummy and she knows when a camera or video camera is pointed towards her. Then she suddenly becomes shy. In this brief video clip, you’ll hear Coco say the following: Sascha… Since it has been raining all day I thought I would try something new with the birdcam. I brought the birdcam inside and aimed it towards Coco’s (our African Grey Parrot) cage. This is about a 2 minute video clip, although for all practical purposes there’s not much to look at. However, you can hear…  I took a new picture of Coco today. She is still plucking, although not as bad as before. She seems to pluck more when I am around (not at work). I’m sure there’s a reason for this, I’m just not quite sure what it is. When I am home, I try and take her out…  Sorry, I forgot to include the pictures last night when I posted this. I got the follow up call from the vet today regarding the bacteria that was found when swabbing Coco’s crop (part of a bird’s throat). She tested positive for the following bacteria: Pasteurella (Abundant growth according to test results) Corynebacterium (Moderate growth… Took Coco to the vet today to see if there might be a reason she started the feather plucking. $819.00 dollars later it turns out that Coco has a bacterial infection in her croup (I think that’s how it’s spelled). Treatment is antibacterial medication for 10 days, twice per day. I won’t know until next… No camera talk, but it is something I wanted to ask others about. Coco, our African Grey has started picking her feathers the last 2-3 days. She’s doing this with such intensity that she’s actually making herself bleed a little bit. I know African Grey’s are notorious feather pickers, but Coco has never done this… A few folks asked for some recent shots of Coco, our African Grey Parrot. I finally got around to doing just that. Coco makes very few bird sounds, she mainly just talks English. She controls all the other animals in the house. When Sascha starts barking, she says “Sascha Phooey.” When Maggie makes her little… I haven’t talked about Coco (our African Grey Parrot) in a while so I decided to take a new picture of her. As some of you may recall if you have been reading this blog for a while, Coco was very sick about 9 months ago and we nearly lost her. She developed a fungal… Took Coco to the vet on Friday and had a nice $701.00 vet bill. That’s the bad news. The good news is that her x-rays looked really good and internally she looks the best she ever has (since beginning treatment anyway). Should find out her blood work turned out in about a week and if… Something a little different. Here is Coco, our African Grey Parrot. We have been treating her for aspergillosis during the past 9 months. For those that don’t know the story, shortly after Hurricane Ike came roaring through I noticed that Coco was acting pretty lethargic and she was hardly talking at all (this for a… |
