Marti and I discussed things, and decided that Hollywood the GW would come stay with me. This is day two, and he's having a blast... Won't let him step forward to step up though, to easy to become a target.  He does step backwards well though.
He's in good hands Marti!... and when he talks he sounds like you!  I'm sure that he'll pick up on the flock calls soon enough... he's a bright boy. He's already gotten the idea of getting the hanging perch swinging... the stinker!

Copper confuses me all the time. I assume she's in MO and she talks about going back down south. Well, she should have stayed down south where she belongs. Sneaking back and forth all the time keeps me all messed up.

Sherry, I've got to look in his folder... am keeping it in the car so I don't forget it when I do go back SOUTH   (so you won't be confusilated more, Annie ) along with his permanent cage... the less loading I have to do, the better... and you're right about that's where I belong. ... Keep telling myself that the end of June is coming, and I'll be able to have my hubby south too where he belongs too... Guess you could say that our migratory patterns will be changed huh?  
 
Had to laugh last night. Hubby was spoon feeding mashed potatoes to the flock, and came out of their room to give some to Hollywood. He ate, and ate, and ate, and ate some more. With each spoon he got more of an incredulous look on his face. Said that he's never seen any of the rest eating as much as HW did.
 
Marti, you have nothing to fear! He's a very happy bird!

As I said on another thread, didn't get to power wash cages yesterday, but got the sprayer out. Flash weighs all of 12 pounds now, and I swear he's part bird-dog. He sees the sprayer come out, and he has to have his 'bath' too!

Flash, Hollywood and Angel-Rose all look great when they are wet from their baths.  Those are really nice pictures of them.  Kathy

They all look like they had fun!  I cringed at first cause I have a habit of reading fast to get to the pics.  All I saw was "power wash"
 
In my mind I saw the dog and birds being washed away.  Thankfully I went back and reread.

ROFL!
Hollywood still isn't quite sure of the sprayer. It's a on gallon garden sprayer that you pump up the pressure then pull the trigger on the wand.
Flash just loves it, and I'm sure that I'll have to watch once it's warmer or he's going to end up in the lake... that's just how much he loves water!
Angel-Rose will hang upside down from her play stand or from her boing so that the water (and aloe) will get right down to her skin.
Even Gemma the B&G has decided that she likes the sprayer. She still likes to play in the bath tub, but has a good time with the sprayer too.

Your pics of Flash, Angel and Hollywood were great. You can see the facial features are different between Angel Rose & Hollywood. Hers are smaller and more delicate looking & he has a more masculine look. I guess that's only fitting!! lol!! I've never had another GW to compare him to, but I've noticed in B&G's that some have the different facial features. But one thing they all share is the wonderful smell they  have after a shower!!!  Hollywood looks happy and content Lyne!!!!
