Hi everyone. Thanks for your comments! I have another video of Pete going upsidedown on my finger. Click on the link. http://s72.photobucket.com/albums/i168/kborchardt/?action=view&current=Upsidedown.flv

I just found a bunch of videos of other CAGs doing the same thing Pete was. http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=african+grey+mating+dance&hl=en I guess it really is a mating dance. Pretty silly though considering greys are supposed to choose only 1 human to be their best friend.

I have no idea if he is a male. My mom got him from a pet store when he was very young and they had no clue. She hasn't had him sexed yet though. We kind of thought he might be female because he wasn't talking much, but we read that if a bird is out of his cage a lot (male or female) they tend to be shy talkers...and Pete is almost always out of his cage here.

Yeah, that's Kiwi. She's still only a baby. She is so sweet and cuddly but oh so very loud at times. Thanks for having a look.

For some reason it's not letting me upload a video so I'll post the link here. Maybe someone can tell me what he's doing. Go to and you can see my video of Pete.

He's a Congo Grey. He's still pretty young yet. Maybe 2 or almost 2. I basically play with his feet or beak. And he just did somethign he's never done before with me, he started flipping over my finger and letting me hold him on his back. Very strange. I'll try to post the video again, it didn't work last time. Thanks.

Ok. I don't have an african grey personally, but my mom does. Ever since she got him as a baby he has only liked her. I was always scared to touch him and I'm pretty sure he sensed it because he always bit me. Now, out of the blue, he LOVES me and is always flirting with me. At least that's what I make of the noises he makes when I touch him. I'm just wondering why all of the sudden he has taken an interest in me. Espically when I'm not around him very often. I only visit my moms house about once a month. Also, should I be worried about the sounds he's making? Is it unhealthy for him to be doing these mating dances? I will post a video of him doing his thing. Thanks.
