Thanks for sharing...

Thank you for all the kinds comments. Yes, I do try to keep it happy (the yellow color on the walls), sunny (the full spectrum lights), airy (the windows on three sides), interesting (lots of different things for them to play with) and as natural as possible (branches for perches, rocks, a 'grass' floor, etc). I do believe that a birdroom is the best environment for birds not only because one can control temperature, humidity and air quality in it and set them to their needs and not ours but also because, as it is THEIR domain, everything in it is meant for them to mess up, tear apart, chew, poop on, etc and, most importantly, it's safe, no electrical appliances, no spaces between furniture and the wall where they can hurt themselves, no ceiling fans, etc. It saves a lot of work and a lot of aggravation and both them and us have better lives. Plus, it's really not so hard to set one up, all you need is an extra bedroom.

No, no harrasing whatsoever, everybody gets along very well. Even the U2's which I was told were going to kill my little ones on the first chance they had but they eat right next to the budgies, the tiels and the senegals with not a single incident.... they step right over them looking for a spot to put their feet down on the feeding platform and are even careful not to step on them :-)

There is no stealing food from each other's cages because there are no cages. The ones you see there (except for Pretty Bird's) are used as stands only, the doors are closed and they are completely empty but I need them because they don't make water bowls that you can secure to anything but bars and, also, I need a horizontal surface where I can put down their plates with food. But there is food stealing going on among the Grays. They are always trying to pull the plates from under another's beak but I put heavy rocks on them to hold them in place (they also use the rocks for cleaning and honing their beaks -I try to keep things natural). I get the vines from a local country store but you can get it in any arts and crafts store, it's not very expensive and the tiels love to chew on it (it doesn't last very long, I put fresh ones every week)

As to the birds on me, that happens every time I step onto the birdroom but, in reality, the first ones to fly to me are always Sophie and Elvira. Pookey perches on my head because Sophie doesn't allow her to perch on my shoulder although she has learned to 'share' me with Elvira.

As to my looks, well, I do wear glasses but not all the time, I am not that tall (5 feet 5) and my hair is long because a) my husband likes it and b) I don't have to go to a beauty salon to get it done, I just wash it, let it air dry with a bit of oil on it (it's curly) and braid it. When it gets too long my daughter trims it for me. Fast, easy and very cheap.

Next time I'll see if I can get a picture of the birds foraging on the floor covered with alfalfa. The tiels, budgies, doves and one of the Grays (Sophie) are great at it. The senegals walk on the floor all the time but they don't actually forage on it.

Thanks for the pictures! Great room- looks like tons of fun for the birds. I also love the idea of the bright happy yellow walls.

Great room. Lucky you! One day I will have one of my own.

Wow....that is great. I love how you have that set up. Our bird room is pretty plain compared to that! We're hoping to buy a house in a year or so. That way we can paint and decorate how we want. I guess we're just lucky to have a landlord who doesn't mind pets... (well....doesn't know... lol)

EXCELLENT BIRD ROOM!! I plan on painting my fids room next summer a light orange or a bright yellow!! I LOVE you fid room!!!! Is that greape vine?? I wonder where to get it? Does Lowls sell it????

Also I have read many things about TOOs killing and biting off heads/feet/ whatever of smaller birds. My male Umbrella cockatoo, when on strut will chase my smaller fids off his chosen "strut" perch, but thats it. he doesnt go over in attack/aggressor mode with them. He and my Mollucan are sweet things!! Its my amazon and quaker I have to watch out for (for hurting other fids, or trying to) when they are hormonal. Not my Toos

Sorry for getting a tad carried awya, but wow I love your room!!!

Do you ever play nature calls, or music for them??
