More of a Jinx update than Ava...
Added 2023-05-11 12:26:35 +0000 UTCYou guys know my hope has been that adding Ava would make it so Jinx could care less about Comet and Tusa. So that's what I feel like ultimately I'm working towards, and here's the latest on where that's at...

2023-05-17 00:29:16 +0000 UTCYou are so strong to show your struggles with Jinx. All this time I didn't think he was ever spicy towards you. So it helps me to see that. On the other front remember it is always darkest before the dawn. when I am going through tough times I always ask myself "what is the worst that can happen?", I will still have my children, my health and I did it once I can do it again. When we face the worst case it allows us to let go of the fear of the moment, clear our heads, stand tall and conquer whatever the issue is! You will succeed or you will fail, either is OK (in the best Jinx voice), but at the end of the day you are still amazing!

2023-05-15 12:14:35 +0000 UTCThis would probably take some thinking and maybe a work around, but while the weather is nice, could you set up 4 aviaries, 2 at opposite ends of your yard? That way the birds can see each other, but maybe with the distance between them, Jinx may be more comfortable. Its a nuetral space, too, so it may help! Make it a training session for Jinx, and reinforce for calm, nuetral behavior? And then slowly, move them closer together, as they get comfy seeing each other at distances. I've seen you work through so many hard situations with other family's birds so I know you can do this! Just keep an objective eye, look at things as a trainer (not a parrot parent!) would, and I think you'll have your breakthrough before you know it!

2023-05-14 18:20:35 +0000 UTCI wonder if Jinx is telling Comet and Tusa that Ava is his girl. Don't the young males compete pretty hard for females before bonded pairs are established? Of course Jinx bickered with the brothers before Ava so who knows. Moving them to the quarantine is probably best at least until you have another bird that needs that space.

2023-05-14 17:38:21 +0000 UTCIt's as though a solution of that nature is only temporary with him and that something else becomes an insane trigger and it just escalates so quickly. But I agree that I want to have that space freed up for future project birds that come about. At this point I'm just not taking anymore because of space issues.

2023-05-12 02:47:14 +0000 UTCin the current setup jinx was kind of loooking diagonally thru the other cages at those 2 right? what about moving jinx to the other end of the row? then he'd have to somehow look "through" the separator to see them... and i don't think x-ray vision is a known ability of parrots xD if that doesn't ooffer any help, maybe you need to start considering a fully separate housing solution for ava/jinx vs the rest of the flock? like, something that isn't taking up the quarantine housing, in case you need to bring in another project bird/etc, that needs to be quarantined. hope you find a way to make it all work out!

2023-05-11 22:46:00 +0000 UTCI feel about the same way with how both of you feel. Even though my conure (Sedu) goes to my boyfriend when home she screams when I leave room or go away & he doesn’t like it. I’m trying to work on that but not having good luck. Jamie & Dave give so much information and I try my best to follow.

2023-05-11 18:22:33 +0000 UTCJamie, you go over and above for your animals and still worry, i am the same way, until I get so stressed out that I feel like crying and get depressed! I know it's hard to let it go and know that everything will work out in the end because I have such a hard time as well! We expect so much and get stressed when we don't have control over a situation that " is what it is" {my husbands famous words to me} !! Any how, the only time I saw you smile was when you had Jinx in the house and you asked him to fly to you and you smiled, and said how much you love him. So my thoughts are play with your bird one on one for a while and get some of those happy hormones flowing lol!! Then attack the housing issue, which moving him and Ava to the quarantine aviary is the best bet, they were happy there, and comet and tusa are happy where they are and doing well in there. The freeze dried thing will come together, and you have no control over that right now, so let it be! Love you and all that you do and I feel your unhappiness, sending good vibes your way!

2023-05-11 18:14:41 +0000 UTCWhat happens if we put Olivia with Jinx? Does he “bully” her to? Maybe then we can get Ava at least exposed to Comet and Tusa in a healthy safe way? I just thought about it.

2023-05-11 17:49:12 +0000 UTCI'm definitely looking forward to that aviary getting here. I still probably have 3 more weeks to go on it.

2023-05-11 17:36:41 +0000 UTCDon’t be discouraged. The freeze dried will come together as will figuring out the housing situation with Ava and Jinx. Maybe once the you get the aviary’s set you in the yard that could make a difference and this way they can hear each other without having Jinx be “mean” to Comet and Tusa.

2023-05-11 17:34:38 +0000 UTCI dunno I had to click a few times and then it played for me (and I'm at one of the lower tiers - I don't even have a bird.

Christina
2023-05-11 15:47:11 +0000 UTCThey all look like they're having the time of their lives. I take my birdies out one at a time and they love every minute! I really love your set up. :)
Susan Engels
2023-05-11 14:24:19 +0000 UTCI know the video is supposed to be based on the birds but I can't help but empathize with you and what you're going through. I have a new baby quaker that is so squishy and snuggly and playful. I should be so happy and gushy over him but I'm in such a bad place mentally, I just don't have it in me. I've been swinging from rage to crippling depression and finally went to talk to my doctor about it. I still find a little time/ emotional energy when I can for just loving on my birds but thank goodness you have taught me that quality time means more than quantity and how to teach them to self entertain. I feel less guilty by taking a step back for some self care.

2023-05-11 13:23:36 +0000 UTCI'm so sorry you're feeling sad! It's a horrible feeling. Maybe when you come to Panama City we can lift your spirits a bit! Wish I could just give you a hug.
Cristi Karr
2023-05-11 13:23:35 +0000 UTCWell "if at first you don't succeed" and all that. Maybe wait til you find some of your own energy first. I suck at small talk too; always have, which usually leads to my saying something somehow inappropriate that I have to apologize for later. I had a boss once who wrote me up because I never said "Good morning."
Meg Geddes
2023-05-11 13:08:25 +0000 UTCI could really feel and empathise with how you're feeling. I hope it gets better soon, if not, seek help from your doctor. I'm in regular contact with mine and a psychiatrist. The joys of having Bipolar 2. It's so important to acknowledge the tough times and take the steps to help. You do so much for everyone, remember to take care of you too.
