This is a great addition and it has no nutritional value. I take a piece of celery, cut it down to 3 in. pieces. Each piece is the thickness of a Sharpie pen. All of my greys love them. There's never a problem and they're all happy and look forward to getting them. Sometimes, I give one of my greys 2 pieces because he loves them.

The cage you picked is simply a slightly different style all day cage made for very small birds. In your first post you posted a picture of another one that was just like this. The big difference is this one has a rounded roof. All of these all day cages say that the stand is removable, what that means is that yolu lie the cage down and unscrew the cage from the stand. Then you move it and rescrew the stand back on. This particular cage has very thin bars hat are very close together. The size of the wire is thin. Again, made for small birds. Remember when I told you I had the same exact cage for many years except it was gold? Picture of it is below . Because I felt like doing it, I made a 4 legged light weight stand out of wood. The cage is not attached to that homemade stand. It just sits in it. As far as size in a car--I used this cage for one of my greys and we were traveling from MO to PA. Recently in another subject we were talking about bad language. I told of my bird's incident. This was the cage he was standing near when he let out that expletive. If you can find the cage on Amazon, go for it. Many things are cheaper on Amazon and they guarantee that the item is new. This is a picture of the cage you spoke about and under that is my exact same cage I spoke of except for the color. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v50/DaveVP/P1010010.jpg What style is up to you. Good luck PS---the cage you picked is approx. 85 lbs

The first cage you posted----I've had that exact same cage, same size also made by Prevue for about 20 yrs. Back then, the cage cost $120. The only difference, mine is gold, now they're black. It's a great sleeping cage as well as a carrying cage as well as a feeding cage. It's easy to move around because it's not connected to a stand. The mm size is ideal. It's the ideal cage for sitting on a small table which can be moved around. It fits in most vehicles. Mine sits in the basement until I need it. I don't use sleeping cages or feeding cages. It can't be used as a main cage for all day use. Others here have also shown good small cages. Now as far as the second cage---that's simply a standard cage that people use who wanna keep their birds in for the whole day. That exact same cage can be purchased in all sizes. This cage is for a small bird. It's not the type of cage that can be moved around easily because the stand is connected and disconnecting the stand is a pain in the ass. This cage isn't very well made. This is just some info on these 2 cages you posted about.

I have a 55 gal community tank and my TAG likes to fly over and sit on the air pump and many times, he looks in especially when the ram cichlids and rainbow cichlids are darting around. He never gets bothered, just interested in all the movement. Then he usually flies back to his stand. When he first did it, I wasn't looking and all of a sudden he was there. Who knows, maybe it's all the plants that are moving around? My other greys have absolutely no interest in the tank.

One day, a long time ago in my house I used to say son of a bitch around my grey although I never realized that he was picking up on it. So, one day we had our new next door neighbor come over for the first time( introduction). She went into the living room, sat down on the couch. Smokey was about 12 ft back. Her back was facing him. For about one minute we were chatting when all of a sudden Smokey screamed out YOU SON OF A BITCH!! The woman jumped off the couch, started shaking and immediately said 'Oh god, what did I do? Does he hate me? Should I leave? I,m so sorry to upset him'. My wife and I couldn't stop laughing. We explained that he was just sounding off and telling her it was nothing personal. Now how's that for welcoming someone in?

Honestly, I haven't the slightest idea of what you're talking about. 1-- Feel some empathy? 2-- Dig deep into your soul? 3-- We can't alienate new members? 4-- we need new ideas? All of this has to do with the loss of your bird?

Birds grieve in different ways. Sometimes it's ovious, sometimes not. A parrot's everyday goings and comings change. The familiar things that went on is now gone. The parrot looks at a familiar place and sees nothing. A familiar sound which appears at the same time when they were together is now gone. Whatever likes and dislikes the parrots had with each other are also gone. The normal way of feeding is now gone and that can be confusing. It would be wise to remove or at least move cages around in order to create differences in visiual familiarities.That goes for the other birds too. I constantly move cages around so none of my birds get too used to any certain spots. It's one way to stop birds from thinking that one is better than the other. Putting other birds nearby causes other interests in what's going on. Taking away any items that belonged to the the deceased bird is a good idea. Grieving may last a few weeks or a month. This happens quite frequently in the wild with greys which are are with their mates. Greys are monogomous. The bird grieves and then eventually gets back into the swing of things with the rest of the flock. I'm confused about whos who in the house. Ollie is the dog? If so, letting a bird take up residence in a dog's bed isn't something I agree with. My opinion is to stop that habit. PS--I really don't know why you would feel that your post on the board will be more amazing. It should be a regular part of the board. After all, it always has been a part of the board. People have always given out opinions concerning the loss of a family member (parrot).

Go to the NATURE series. The episode is called LEGENDARY WHITE STALLIONS. It's a 60 min show. It shows the stallions from birth, the intamacy of the rider with his horse from the time is's a tiny colt, The birth of the horse, the growing up of the horse with loads of others, the gradual color change from a brown colored colt to a white colt, the intense caring of the animals and the training of the horses by one certain rider who's practically grows up with the horse. You may enjoy it. I found it fascinating.

It's from Old English and Anglo Saxon language. [h=2]Origins[edit] In this context, the word wife means woman rather than married woman. This usage stems from Old English wif (woman) and is akin to the German Weib, also meaning "woman". This sense of the word is still used in Modern English in constructions such as midwife and fishwife.[/h]Old wives' tales often discourage unwanted behavior, usually in children, or for folk cures for ailments ranging from a toothache to dysentery. The concept of old wives' tales has existed for centuries. In 1611, the King James Bible was published with the following translation of the Apostle Paul writing to his young protégé Timothy, "But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself [rather] unto godliness" (I Timothy 4:7 KJV[1]). [h=3]The oral tradition[edit][/h]Old wives' tales originate in the oral tradition of storytelling. They were generally propagated by illiterate women, telling stories to each other or to children. The stories did not attempt to moralise, but to teach lessons and make difficult concepts like death or coming of age easy for children to understand. Also these stories are used to scare children so they don't do certain things.[2] These tales have often been collected by literate men, and turned into written works. Fairy tales by Basile, Perrault, and the Grimms have their roots in the oral tradition of women. These male writers took the stories from women, with their plucky, clever heroines and heroes, and turned them into morality tales for children.[3] Examples of old wives' tales include: Masturbation will make you blind and have hairy palms. Ice cream leads to nightmares. Toes pointed up signify low blood sugar. Cracking knuckles gives arthritis.[4][5] High heart rates lead to female fetuses. Don't swallow gum or it will stay in your stomach for seven years. Don't make silly faces or it will make the silly face permanent. Chocolate leads to acne.[6] Shaving makes the hair grow back thicker.[7] Eating crusts (of a sandwich) makes your hair go curly/you grow hair on your chest. The appearance of white spots on the fingernails (Leukonychia) is due to lying/not eating enough green vegetables/calcium. It's bad luck to open an umbrella indoors. Nosebleeds are a sign of sexual arousal.

Look, lets get back to basics. There's wrong words that are used, phrases that are misunderstood. Attitudes that get going. I don't want this guy to leave. He wanted an explanation so I gave it in PM. I've already explained myself to this person. Whether he wants to accept my explanation is his choice. But getting pissed off at what is or was said is now yesterday's news. It was anyones choice to pick and choose what they saw. I have no intentions to get on this person's case.I'm definitely not asking for anyone's foregivenes. I don't care who chooses what they wanna choose. The one thing I DO object to is using Jayd's name in this whole thing. There's no comparison to use any of his threads and this thread. Most of you really didn't know what went on behind closed doors with him. Also, you have no idea how many people left because of him. You don't really know how much grief he caused the Admin. It was things she didn't deserve and he refused to stop. He was told to ease up on people over and over and over again. But his choice was not to ease up. He came here under 4 different usernames so he could continue to hastle people and cause trouble. He had his wife come here under a username to cause trouble. He had another username which was his bird's name. 4 usernames ??? Like I said, he was trouble and the admin went trough hell in order to read all the negative PMs that she had to go through. There are people who get banned but there's only a few and always a good reason.

You really shouldn't try to train her to drink water because all birds drink water in very tiny amounts throughout the day. If any bird didn't drink water, the bird would die. All you need to do is show her where it's located and make it easy to get to. The bird will do the rest. One other training thing----a bird can't be trained to drink water.

I think this is a ridiculous idea. I say what I need to say. Maybe people like what I say, maybe not. It's called *pick and choose*After being here for 8 yrs, if I'm asked to write down my *resume* just because I'm a moderator than I'll know it's time to leave. It takes a lot of accurate info given out in order to become a moderator. It's the Admin and only the Admin that studies things and then asks a person to be a moderator. Some people won't even take on that responsibility. Over and over and over and over, it's been suggested that people take the time to read stickys but I know that advice is falling on deaf ears and sadly it'll continue to fall on deaf ears no matter how often it gets suggested. That's been proven to me simply by reading people's posts. I developed a simple solution to all of that----I simply don't waste my time to write down that type of information. My fingers are simply too tired to waste my time. Vets?---there's a sticky for it which definitely state that there's no vets here and that any info is NOT to be given out when that info has to be gotten from a vet. That part is in bold letters. Clipping, not clipping-----there's a 4 part sticky for it. It's written in the *pick and choose* format. Make sure you're being given the right info? There's no demands that a person listen to info and accept it as *the only right info*. That's why minds were invented. It's also called *pick and choose* Years of experience?---I've seen people who've owned a 2 yr old grey give out accurate info to people who've had a grey who have a bird for 10 years. "What is your frame of reference old school or positive reinforcement?" I'll just say this, it's a good thing that's there's old timers here. And I'll say one other thing concerning this---*old school* or *positive reinforcement*. They have nothing to do with each other. There's even a sticky for newbies who are deciding to get a grey. The person is given the pros and cons and asked to make up their own mind. Fortunately, that type of sticky actually deters many people from getting a grey and that means that there's one less good bird that doesn't have to suffer because of some idiot's asinine reasons for getting a grey. All the info that a person wants is here. It's called *Read, pick, choose*

Ok, now that the vote is in, concerning this person who has absolutely no experience with aggressive greys should bring in the grey because she has a bunch of conures and 1 TOO.~~~~~ *****take a chance***, *****bring into a new surrounding****, ***** transformations of problem birds when put into a more understanding and nurturing home*****, ****Just changing surroundings can have an affect.****, *****Give him space enough to feel he's got control enough to feel safe & opportunities enough for him to want to become part of the new flock once he starts to get over the shock of being uprooted. *******, ****feeling comfortable in a new environment ******etc, etc What I don't hear about in this thread is the downside of sending this bird off to a 3rd home. It's been discussed here many times and the general feeling is that it's not in the bird's best in interest to shuffle a bird off to a another home and provide another test run. Many people think it's actually cruel. We're talking about a bird who already has certain ingrained baggage from it's original home. The closest thing to handling this bird is with a stick. No one discusses how the bird will have to be separated from other birds to start dealing with this aggressive bird. No one discusses how other family members will be affected by this aggressive bird. No one discusses the chance that the bird may have to be separated from other birds if things go badly. AND even more importantly, no one offers any advice on how to start this whole process with a person who has not only no experience with greys but even worse, no experience with a larger aggressive bird such as a medium sized bird such as a grey. I get the feeling that people are telling this person to take a gamble. Other than one person in thread(Bailey's PaPa) have I heard anything concerning sending the bird off to an *amazing family* who deals with awkward situations concerning greys instead of taking that gamble with an inexperienced bird owner. It's been said here in thread that it depends on how aggressive the bird is. That info hasn't ben given so it's an open area. So, I'll talk about a bird who is an average sized TAG and I'll give information so that there won't be any open area. This TAG is in it's second home. This TAG is intent on seriously biting the wife, the husband, the family dog, who stays away because it's frightened of the bird and finally the TAG has now developed a taste for searching out their 9 mt old new baby and biting her. As far as corraling him once he's out of the cage, the only thing that can be used is a 2 ft perch IF HE WON'T FLY AWAY. So, the bird is now kept in the cage all the time. The owners have now come to the conclusion that the bird has to go---free of charge. They're afraid of the bird Anyone got any bright ideas about taking the bird, bringing it in their house with other birds around, possibly a dog or cat around and other family members around and what course of action should be taken? Oh yeah, I forgot one thing, this TAG is 9 yrs old.

I'm not aware of the persona of the IQ situational convention in the trapazoid.

*********A 17 year old Citron Crested Cockatoo named Jester, a 4 year old Cinnamon Green Cheek Conure named Honey, a 4 year old Yellow Sided Green Cheek Conure named Precious, a 6 year old Pineapple Green Cheek Conure named Peatree, a 2 year old budgie named Dobby,**** Well, you're honest enough to show that you have no experience with greys. Greys are totally opposite from your birds above and that includes the big TOO. Starting off with an aggressive bird, especially an aggressive grey isn't a good idea for a novice at all. First off, you would have spend lots and lots of alone time with none of the other birds around. Then there's a set of steps that need to be used in that process. You need to be ready to be bitten because as you said, he's an aggressive bird. What makes the situation even worse is that he isn't hand trained which is hard to deal with when the bird is an adult and has certain ideas and bad habits concerning human contact. You would need to know what steps to take in what order. I could go on and on and on about this situation but for your sake and for the bird's well being, if you know of amazing people ( your words) that have the ability to take the bird and properly deal with it, my opinion is to contact those people first so that you can avoid lots of problems PLUS, taking the bird from it's present home and bringing it to your home and possibly sending he bird off to another home will only make the bird more aggressive and harder to handle for that amazing family. I've dealt with many extremely aggressive birds before and the most important thing those birds need is to be dealt with by experienced grey handlers or at the least, with experienced parrot handlers who deal with the classification ****medium/large sized parrots*****

Age===11 to 16 mts Plucking----that's a case of plucking combined with the loss of down feathers. My personal opinion is not to give medication like what was recommended until the bird is physically examined. The plucking may be from very dry skin. There's products that are sold that have no possible side effects. ALOE VERA JUICE for spraying on the bird's body and feathers and ALOE VERA GEL which is used as an anti-irritant for skin conditions like wounds, over scratching, minor cuts and bruises. Everyone should have aloe gel for emergencies. Plucking takes a while to clear up if it's acute plucking. If it's chronic plucking, the plucking won't stop. Only time is gonna tell you what the answer will be. Since you're new to owning a very complex bird such as a grey, it's gonna take lots of time learn about it. Your main job here is to build up a bond with you and whoever lives with you. It's gonna become a family member. African Greys are wild animals. Yes, I said wild because no matter how long you have the grey, it will always remain in that classification. You've got a long way to go concerning what your grey is all about. 100s and 100s of threads here have lots of info concerning this. Second bird=====You're gonna have a hard time ahead of concerning knowledge of your bird. Having a second bird will be a problem or possibly a disaster for a person who hasn't picked up lots of facts concerning greys. Also, concerning knowledge -----pet greys aren't used for breeding. Only birds that have a bond with a mate are used. Those birds have no bonds with human beings. If you did eventually get another grey, that would mean another cage because greys need their own home which is their cage. They design it and don't appreciate intruders. Many people here who have more than 1 or 2 greys will also say that personalities are different and won't socialize with each other at times. That rule can vary though. I'm not a vet so I won't say "give that medication". That's the vet's responsibility but I can say that people have learned that there's lots of different opinions concerning vets. Some are more knowledgable. I only say that because vet recommended something over the phone without looking at the bird. Make sure you only deal with Avian Vets. Remember something, you've only had the bird for 1 week.

As you can see, most are against wing clipping. I agree. Nature gave them wings for a reason. As far as beaks, there's very few reasons to get that done. Mostly, it's because of the pain a person goes through when the tips bite into soft flesh. As has been already mentioned, any beak must lose their outer covering for a new covering to come in. Trimming a beak only means filing down the tips which a person can do if there's another person around that will hold the bird while the beak is being blunted with a common store bought file. There's other birds that won't need 2 people. The bird simply allows the person to lift the leg and filing is easily done. AND as far as the beak goes, the beautiful shiny black beak that the bird has as a very young bird will eventually change into a dark grey color with loads of scratches all over it. The shiny black untouched beak will be gone forever. Birds scrape their beaks on everything, hard things, soft things, bowls, toys, cage bars etc. As far as vets go, I've yet to come across a vet that will tell a person NOT to trim wings and the bird pays the price. As has been mentioned, there's a deformity of the beak that's called scissor beak which needs to be taken care of by the vet on a regular basis. In general, beaks grow to certain lengths, have pointier beaks and others don't have pointier beaks. Having a couple of concrete perches in a cage near the other wooden cage is always a good idea. Those types of perches not only keep claws blunted, they also allow the bird to file their own beaks down. In Germany, it's against the law to have wings clipped unless a medical problem exists. *****What I want to know is why they want to trim her toe nails and beak? Are they hammered or is there a reason for it? And am I obligated to allow them to do it? Will I have to fight them over it? ****** The reason is called MONEY $$$$$$$$$ and NO, you're not obligated to do it nor will you have any fights with vet. Filing down a beak-----there's a trick here. Have one person hold the bird, take a pencil and let the bird have it and the bird won't let go and that's good. Better the pencil than your fingers. The tips of the beak will be very easy to file. The same thing goes for claws. Have the bird bite down on the pencil and file the claws.

I'll answer this post as well as blackopal. Carrot juice is widely know as a topical that people use on skin for many reasons. These reasons could be because of beauty, medical reasons. MDs don't recommend carrot oil to people very often unless it's absolutely necessary and the MDs will know the outcome. The contents of carrot oil has many toxic ingredients that won't affect human skin but will affect human internal organs. There's many different types of products that have vitamins in them but that doesn't mean that a person should take them. Serious illness, shock can occur. Example, people who are allergic to peanuts, people who are allergic to milk, people who are allergic to certain vegetables, people who allergic to medicines that sometimes help a digestive tract etc. Just because a person lives in a country that doesn't have certain products such a red palm oil, that doesn't mean that feeding another type of oil is necessary. Many grey owners don't use palm oil. That's their choice. Why is palm oil recommended? Well, in the wild greys eat the palm nuts that are surrounded by palm oil. It's a basic diet. They don't eat carrot oil or any other type of oil. So, Blackopal, think twice before doing something to your bird that could harm him/her. Toxic oils can't be removed from a grey's body. They have to leave the body naturally and by the time that happens the bird could be dead.

Who says that chicken is wrong?? Maybe I missed something. Chicken baked or boiled is fine. No coating though. Most greys like the large bones in chicken wings that have marrow in them.

Well, I'm really surprised at the classification you put those sounds into. Even if the sounds were louder, you should know that there's a parrot there that's giving attention, getting attention, making itself well known and showing how new he/she is affecting her. I guess you've never heard a parrot really screech. What you're hearing there will subside. THAT'S A FACT. This a grey who's screeching. Learn to study the sounds of greys. They're normally quiet birds but they do have their moments. One of my greys does this sound when he's hungry and continues until he's fed. In your case, it's just the sounds of a bird in a new place, a new environment, new surroundings, new people, new visual movements, new toys, new reactions to all of these things. One major thing I forgot to ask you in the beginning of thread----just how long have you had that new bird in your house??? This is a screeching African grey

More than likely, both birds will eventually become more friendly with the people in the house but in different ways. A person has to accept that there's 2 birds around that have different personalities. A dangerous thing to do is to hope for either bird to bond with only one person. The ideal situation is that both birds will accept all the members in a house but many times that doesn't happen. So, each person deals with each bird in ways that the bird seems to be comfortable. One of my birds has to come out of the cage when food is given. Another one has to be in the cage. One of my birds won't step up on my left hand but will do so with my right hand. One of my birds likes to fly to my shoulder and immediately go to sleep. Another will fly to my shoulder and bite my skin, jewelry, earlobes, hair. Another will only sit on my lap. When all are out, the smallest bird(TAG) tries to intimidate the other 2. SO, do they love me?? Yes. Will they speak in mimic human language--the one that does will do so but the other 2 don't mimic human language and they never have. Will they speak to each other in parrotese? Well, let me put it this way---they are parrots, right? A person who studys parrots can eventually know what the bird is saying when hearing parrotese. I know I do and have so throughout many years. I really don't get excited about birds mimicking human language. It's never stopped me from adopting them. I didn't expect them to mimic and so far, they haven',t but I know everything they're saying to me and to the other parrots so I feel that I succeeded in having those birds having relationships with me. See what I heighted in black?? Be grateful that the bird is dealing with all the people in the house. See what I heightited? Be very happy that it's that way. This is a piocture of 3 birds that hated each other

The rule of thumb is that greys each need their own cage whether they are friendly with each other or not. The next thing to realize is that the new bird has lived in different places which has created a certain kind of personality. No 2 greys have the same personality. As far as your established bird, any new situation that develops in a house such as a new bird will cause different reactions in Rio. Those reactions can be very different within the grey world. My grey may react one way when a new bird comes in but my other grey will react differently. My other grey will react by biting me at times. All of these things subside as time goes on and each bird reastablishes his/her own personality. Right now, things are different. The fact that your bird talks less means nothing. Now is the time for all the birds to study each other from the safety of their cages. Let only one out at a time until you see a calmness starting with the birds. Rio is reacting because jealousy surrounds him. Greys are very jealous type birds. Human talking / parrot talking----------- a bird who is talking in human language is mimicking . A bird who is talking in parrot language is natural because the bird is a parrot. One thing my three birds have in common---ALL speak parrotese and the one that mimics human language speaks in parrotese much more than human language and he has about 300 human words he says. Any human mimicking will eventually come back. There are greys that exist that don't ever mimic human language throughout their whole lives. Any ideas about breeding later on should be be squelched. The main reason is that pet greys are never used for breeding. Only breeder birds are used and breeder birds aren't pets and obviously, you know nothing about the major difficulties that go into grey breeding. That's why greys are separated so that sexual bonds don't develop. If that happens, any bonding with people will be lost. My advice---figure out if you're willing to take in another bird and learn about it's unique personality, understand that each bird will be eventually treated differently, each bird will have it's own home. These 2 birds are very young. Understand that the time will come when they will relax with each other but it will take time. People make a big mistake when adopting parrots ( any species of parrots), the people think that loads of changes will happen quickly and that's just not true. I've adopted greys who were between 8 to 16 yrs old. Only one of my greys has ben in my home since it was a chick. Also understand what environment you'll be sending the bird into again. I don't know you but I can tell you what it's like to begin to start a relationhip with 2 birds that don't know each other and who also don't you yet. PS--the personalities of my 3 greys was 1000% more serious than yours when each was gradually put together. They were all adults. One was extremely aggressive with my family, my dog and with the other birds.

'The very condition of a deconstruction may be at work in the work, within the system to be deconstructed. It may already be located there, already at work. Not at the center, but in an eccentric center, in a corner whose eccentricity assures the solid concentration of the system, participating in the construction of what it, at the same time, threatens to deconstruct. One might then be inclined to reach this conclusion: deconstruction is not an operation that supervenes afterwards, from the outside, one fine day. It is always already at work in the work. Since the destructive force of Deconstruction is always already contained within the very architecture of the work, all one would finally have to do to be able to deconstruct, given this always already, is to do memory work. Yet since I want neither to accept nor to reject a conclusion formulated in precisely these terms, let us leave this question suspended for the moment.'

Well, first and foremost, you need to realize that you're dealing with an unweaned bird. At 6 wks, a bird isn't trying to develop a trust with anything including you. At that age what kicks in is curiosisty for many things that surround it. It's called unknown adventure. Some birds are more curious and others no matter what their age. Some are bolder than others no matter what their age. A baby bird can put itself in an awkward situation not knowing that something more serious may occur by doing that. Any energy that any bird displays is natural. It's up to the owner to make sure that the bird doesn't get into bad situations. Concerning what just happened to you and your bird-----she chose to climb around the cage. All birds will do that. That didn't make you happy so you grabbed her. So, basically she did something of her own free will and was happy. If she wasn't happy, she wouldn't have done it. Then you came along and did something that made you happy. She grabbed you with her claws because you made her unstable. She is like that. You were the closest thing to her. She grabbed the bars and wouldn't let go because a bird's beak is a bird's hand. If the bird was older, she would have also used her beak to grab you. Everything a bird does starts with the bird grabbing or touching with the beak throughout her life. Just like you, you use the hand to learn but you don't bite it first because you have 2 hands. A beak is the hand that tells a bird many things. You need to let your bird learn about it's new home. That new home consists of her cage. It's an area where she'll create and design as time goes on. If she has falls, that's to be expected. An adjustment in perch height makes accidents easier to handle for you and the bird. You got an unweaned bird that for all intents and purposes should still be in an area that isn't a cage but the past is the past. A person who takes on such a young bird needs to be ready to modify things so that the bird will still feel that it's a safe environment. Knowing you for 4 days-------if I took your bird away, it wouldn't know that you were gone because right now, the only thing she knows about you is that you supply her with food. A bird who has energy is a good thing and as long as you make sure she vents that energy in a safe place, there wont be problems. That safe place is her cage.
