Kings Cages won't be here in time !

I'm not sure who it's made by. But, I like the price and don't have one. I had to actually guess Pete's weight when he got sick from Merlin on that Sunday and I had no vet available. Thankfully I guessed him within 5 grams and dosed him right, but I really should have a scale here.

 

[427HISS]

I might get it and take it with us to our aviary vet and check it against theirs. It has a 5 year warranty.

 

[roxynoodle]

Yes, I know what all my birds weigh so I should know quickly if it's accurate. Although you need to expect about a 10% variation in their weights just due to hormonal reasons.

It has a feature that let's you zero it out for a perch, so you don't have to subtract the weight of the perch.

 

[427HISS]

We have electronic scales for the race car, but I don't think it goes down to grams. lol !

I assume our vet would say what Shelby should weigh, since she's an adult, then keep an eye on her like what, once per month ?

"hormonal reasons",......you women,..... always blaming your weight on HORMONES ! lol

I looked at H/F site, is this it ?

Hmm, no, I don't know the item number. Someone else posted about it and I figured next time I was around there I'd stop in for one. Ugh, I don't even remember in what area of the forum it was posted on! I'll see if I can find it.

The males gain just as much weight during their hormonal times, lol!

Seems a few on here have baby 'Toos right now so I would expect Shelby is at top weight now. You should see a reduction come summer.

 

[roxynoodle]

Yes, I believe that's it. It's $3 higher now, lol!

 

[427HISS]

Forget it then, I'll weight (sorry, had to) for a sale ! lol

There's also this one- $13.99

Digital Pocket Scale

The white one was the one I was looking at. I have a ton of 20% off coupons for HF in my MC magazines though so I guess I could get it for $16, lol!

Cool !

Oh my, I forgot. What did the vet say today ?????

 

[roxynoodle]

Vet said there is no metal or anything like that in her. So it's the Borna most likely causing the seizures. But, at least I don't need a new cage. She is just going to have to live without her grate! I don't want to push it by letting her continue to gnaw on it, so we are just going grateless. And when I see a big poop, I take it out so she doesn't walk in it.

Problem with sleeping tents, etc, is they are great for baby birds, but older ones tend to see it as a nest site and get very hormonal. For that matter, watch Shelby for trying to get in dark spots like under furniture or in cupboards. Also watch her for trying to herd you into such a place as she may decide you would be a good mate for her, lol! Yes, it really happens. Pete wants me to nest with him in the bottom corner of his cage.

Awww , I was only kidding you
I'm sorry. I know first hand how bad migrains can be , I get them for at least 3-4 days straight....they are horrible !
But you probably deserved it if she smacked you , lolol.
So be a good hubby and bring Patty flowers tomorrow

 

[427HISS]

Ok good , I just wanted to make sure Sometimes emails can be read the wrong way .

Sometimes I can go for months without one , then whammo , I will get one every other week. I have documented my diet , the weather , other medicines , just about everything to find a cause , but I cant pinpoint anything.. I did get a MRI though , because my Mom had a anuerysm (sp)
burst on her brain and she survived and at the time , went back to work !
There is no documentation that its hereditary , but Im not taking any chances...I did have a headache once that was so bad , the pain qoke me up in the middle of the night. I thought my head was going to explode.
It stopped after a while and I went back to bed ! Now was that stupid or what , lolol. Nothing I can do about it now , but I should have gone straight to the ER ! I really feel for people who have them ! Only when you experience one , do you really understand the pain involved.
How about you ?

 

[luvmytooo]

Awww , sweet ! Always bring flowers , you cant go wrong there

Your mom was very lucky !

In short-

At two years old, I was running into the kitchen, slipped and fell head on into the corner of the refrigerator. I cracked my skull and was in a coma for 6 days. Since then, I have a bad headache, to a migraine to worse 24/7. I have a pain scale from 1-10 to inform family, friends & my doctors. The worse part of it is very hard to explain, but since a child, I've called them "the zaps". I have them all the time, even with I feel pretty well. From 2 to 4 I'm ok, but at 5-6 I had better stop what ever I'm doing, take my meds, hot shower, ice and be in a small quiet & dard room.

If you think back to the mad scientist movies when he's arching electricity between to metal balls, and the arc sounds like, "zzz-ap, z-ap, zzzzzz-ap". It drives me nuts ! I can't see, talk or communicate, and admittedly, ball & scream my eyes out. I'm not afraid much in life, but that pain scares the hell out of me. When I get to level 7, I know it's coming and there's nothing,....I can do about it.

With my recent anti-seizure meds & hydrocodone, it has gotten better. I know having a Too sounds crazy, but just like with my other hobbies that are loud, I just have to endure it to make my life fun and enjoyable !
I could easily just sit on the couch and watch TV all day, but what kind of life is that ! Having fun and being with family & friends is what life is all about !
