As long as they're dry they should be ok? It gets very humid where I live too and I try not to use my air conditioner because I have parrots. I never even thought about my bags!! :shocked:

Off topic: I have a 14 year old 'tiel! May I ask what kind of birds you cohabitate with? Because when it comes to pets, most of us know it's a joke to say we own them!

Agreed! I don't own them, I serve them, ha ha!!

I have a sassy African Grey named Captain Morgan and a super sweet cuddle bug Meyer's parrot named Whiskey. They are my boys! Morgan has an astonishing vocabulary and Whiskey is really a flighted puppy. He sleeps on his back on my chest when I'm reading a book or watching TV and he can never, ever get enough attention. He is not afraid of ANYTHING and he even happily goes to my young nieces and nephews, which isn't common for birds to do before trust is established.

Morgan loves scritches too but only on his terms and I have to be careful with him. He tries to trick me sometimes by appearing to want cuddles when he really wants to bite. He came from a less than ideal home situation but we have endured each other for more than 10 years now and I know his tricks! Just this morning I needed to put him back in his cage and as I reached for him he tried to bite. So I went into my kitchen to wrap a towel around my hand and by the time I got back to his cage he was standing there with his foot up in the air and he said "Oh, all right" and stepped onto my hand. I am not kidding. He KNOWS what he says and how it relates to the situation. He is a fascinating bird.

I grew up with 'tiels, they are such fun little birds with huge personalities! Mine lived to be 20 something, we don't know how old he was when we got him.

I love rehabbing and decorating. Thinking about purchasing a turnlock crossbody (dinky-esque style) on the cheap just to dye it a rich burgundy color like the Dinky I've been lusting after (I refuse to pay more than 200 for a used dinky, especially a "plain" one since I snagged two limited edition ones for under that amount {leopard with studs and a Chelsea Champlain}). I've dyed bags before and find the process super enjoyable. Plus there is that pride factor - you did something and have something that you cared for and is special/unique to you.
