Hi welcome. Im sure you will hear soon about your application. I just safehouse for birdline and find that really rewarding. I like getting to know different species. You are a dog trainer Im sure lots of us will be picking your brains for help with our dogs!! One of mine is a wee devil even though she only has three legs. |

thanks everyone and yes i know i must be patient but its so hard im so excited to get a new baby i have rescued many dogs over the years and rehabilitated them its so rewarding and now i cant wait to do the same with a bird ! i have bought a new big cage loads of toys got rid of air freshners etc its like preparing for a new born baby ha! if any of you need any advise on training and understanding your dog just ask i will try to help not much difference between dogs and birds they are all our highly intelligent babies that need love understanding patience and posotive rienforcement  |

how would you like to take my two for a week and send them back all refreshed and well behaved lol - they are both great really, one just keeps whining even when he is taken out on the lead and the other decides if he is going to come back when called or continue to survey the surrounding area lol; |

Hi its great to see other new members on here i havnt been a member for long either, i think about a month and i pick my little man up on Sunday so i understand exactly what you are going through i too have been on a buying frenzy it really is wonderful and so exciting and if you have any questions just come on here, the people are great you get an answer back very quickly...... and i know the first two weeks when you dont hear anything is hard as you keep checking the phone just in case you missed the call.....(they called me on my mobile and i still missed it left it at home 10 minutes while i nipped the shop wonder why they call it a mobile ha ha) it is hard being patient but once the first phone call happens the rest fly s by the re-homing team are new but they are wonderful i dont know how they do it all (super women). If you need a parrot stand or anything else go to scarlettsparrots on here i wanted a stand and not only was it £10.00 cheaper but it arrived the next day OUT STANDING! So good luck with your fostering but there are so many little ones that need help that even if you dont get your first one there will be another one that really needs you (i believe every thing is for a reason so you will get the bird that really needs you) any way i better go and stop wittering on and on as you can tell i just a little bit excited ha ha cant wait for Sunday GOOD LUCK and hope to hear all your news on hear when it happens .................. |

I hope you are successful with your chosen bird but if not I am sure there will be a few more to tempt you once the rehoming list gets updated. |

Hi Nicky, just wanted to wish you good luck for picking up your new baby.....think you and me have been on the same up and down trip together...we fetched Spencer last Sunday, she is settling brilliant...Now we can go through getting our babies through their 'teething troubles' together.....we've learnt a lot about Spencer in 6 days, am sure you'll do the same. She is so different to how Charlie was.....she is beautiful and we are so proud of her.....We hope you get the same feeling about your special one...!....take it steady and enjoy!....best wishes Freda |

I too am waiting for a call and have been suffering from the same affliction as others. You check the phone each time u go up the garden, put on hoover, nip out for a few mins, etc. In short I think I am fast becoming a phone stalker!!
Julie. Oops, must dash as in other room and the phone might have rung while I was out!!!!!!!! ha, ha, ha. |
