Coco23

Coco will let me tickle her and cuddle, etc, but let a man come near her, and she goes ballistic - Also, if you think of certain types of dogs, a lot of them don't like kids - maybe it's the same issue? Do you kids tease the grey when you not looking? It's possible that your grey just doesn't like kids? LOL... Like some people???

If you don't mind me putting in my input here - I have read many posts and articles about clipping wings vs. not clipping wings - as I see it, there are pro's and con's to BOTH sides. To me, it's a matter of personal choice, and the owner's decision to make the best decision he/she can make for the bird. My Coco's wings have been clipped - however, I am now letting the flight feathers grow back, as I don't feel it's too necessary in my home's arrangement - I have also purchased an aviator harness. So, in my honest opinion - Either way - it's a decision you make on your own! Sorry if I sound harsh - :blush:

Hi There! Well, I bathe my Coco twice a week. Yes, you should bathe them - The way Coco has her bath, is I run about half an inch of water into the bath and let her do her thing - the opening of the wings over the water, and basically dipping her beak into the water and shaking it everywhere! Also - She showers with me sometimes! I have a stand in my shower - I make sure the water is not hot and just about warm - so that she won't get burnt - This is a majorly FUN activity!!! B)
