I have heard of stories of changing hair stiles that upset a Grey and moving their cage to a new location that would upset them.
Corky my grey has lived with change all her life. She has traveled all over the U.S. with us in our motor home and has stayed in hotels, motels, at friends homes and the homes of relatives.
She has traveled in our, cars, trucks and SUV`s from the time she was 5 months old;
I believe that if they live with change from a young age they know how to roll with punches.
We bought Corky a new large travel cage for one of our trips because she found out how to open the doors of all her other cages.
She watched me put it together. On a trip in our motor home on the way to see my wife brother In W.V.we were getting off the PA Pike and coming up to the toll both I heard this flap, flap
flap and she landed on my shoulder leaned forward looked at the man in the toll both and said HAY DORK.. I pulled over to see how she got out and found that she had dismantled the top of her cage, slid the top over to one side and flew to my shoulder
That was the last time I let her watch me put anything of hers together..
If they grow up with change they can be fearless.
