Hi everyone My grey, Milly is 15 months old and we've had her since she was 6 months. We went to the breeder to buy a baby but she had been taken back by the person who bought her as she was at work all day and realised that Milly (who was called Tinny then) was lonely. She captured our hearts and continues to do so. She is amazing, talks like mad and has great fun with us. She didn't talk at all when we got her but started within a week, she is so funny and we adore her!

Thanks Last night the monkey would not go back in at all and eventually we left her to sit on the top of her cage and ignored her. After ages she decided to go in and investigate an exciting strip of paper that I had strategically positioned so I closed the door and told her she was a good girl. She has copied my husband in calling my name and calls my name constantly in his voice, it's sooo funny, quite uncanny! She's coming out again soon so I'll see how we get on tonight. Bye for now Barb in UK

Thanks a lot, I will try those things. I always give her a treat when she gets back in the cage, I would never punish her. Actually the worst she was was when she had been out of her cage for hours so perhaps I will schedule her time out. Advice much appreciated. Barb

Hello to you all! We are having great trouble getting our 1 year old CAG back in her cage. She is very clever and all my tricks are failing to work. I would be grateful for any advice as she just refuses to go back in and it is impossible to catch her sometimes. I used to towel her and cuddle her and then gently put her back in but she's got wise to that. She hasn't had her wings clipped and so flies off as soon as she realises that we are trying to get her back in. We've tried bribing her with treats and newspaper, but she would rather stay out permanently, which of course she can't! Any suggestions would be much appreciated! Barb in UK
