[Bill's Birds]

I agree with everyone about Birds & dogs. Be very careful. I do Bird Rescue, and my first rescue was a Cockatoo that had been attacked by the family dog. The Bird & dog had known each other for years, and were friends. One day something happened, and the dog attacked the Bird, and the poor Bird lost a leg & part of a wing. The owners decided to keep the dog, and the vet (who was a friend of mine) talked them out of putting the Bird to sleep, and called me to take her. She healed well, and I kept her until she died several years later. The point is that they were long time friends, but, something touched the dog off, and he attacked the Bird. Of course, many people own both Birds & dogs, but, keep them apart, and well supervised. BTW, that was not the only Bird I know of that was attacked by dogs. Recently, a friend lost her Lovebird to her Beagle. Who were also friendly to each other. I am not, and don't mean to sound, against dogs, but, as Linda said, dogs are predator animals, and Birds are prey animals.

None of my birds are allowed to be on the floor,if one accidentally lands on the floor they come running/flying for Momma lol.

I found out that my birds don't like to be misted with water so I have this bright green spray bottle that helps keep them out of trouble. I don't even have to spray them with the water to get them to move,all they have to do is see the bottle now and they know they are doing something they shouldn't be doing.

Anyways when they first started to land on the floor I'd spray the water near them (not on them) and make a funny noise(sort of like psst psst psst) and tell them to come to me. When they came to me I'd give them a treat and so they learned being off the floor and on me =treat.

It's very rare they end up on the floor now and it's funny to see them look around frantically for where my boyfriend or I am and come running towards us to pick them up.

I know a girl on Youtube who made little shelves for her bird to play on,you might try something like that so that little Charlie has more areas up high to interest him.
