Sorry, I didn't mean to make that all about my bird. What I was getting at was how foreign it is to me for a bird to not want to eat a nice, hot meal!

That's soooo weird! Timmy loves anything hot and cooked! Pasta, eggs - oh man, Timmy looooves eggs! Oh, you know what he went ape over? The other day I cut up a canteloupe. The last quarter wouldn't fit in the container, so I served it up on a plate, and we shared. Or really, Timmy had it. He went to town on this thing! I just sat back and got a kick out of him shredding this canteloupe to bits - I barely had any! I don't know if I've ever seen such a pure rush of joy in anybody, ever!

The latest newbie here, but not to having an African Grey, although I am to the mechanics of forums, so if this post ends up in the wrong category, apologies. Lucy is 15 this year, and we got her when she was just about 3 months. We had her tested immediately by the specialist bird vet for beak and feather (something I would strongly recommend as apparently there is no cure, and it's heartbreaking to get attached and know there is no future). At the same time you could have the sex determined with the same blood sample, so we know for sure she's a girl bird. She loves me, hates my husband. Has to be watched like a hawk when out of the cage, or another piece of skirting board has to be replaced! And she is sneaky. Pretends she is doing one thing, innocently looking around, until she thinks she is not being watched then bingo, up to no good. Anyway, look forward to contributing in due course. Angie. I wont' say 'mum', because I think from her perspective I am not a parent, but her mate.
