I'm sure you always supervise when the grey is this close to the dog, especially since this is a lab, a bird dog, of course you do, just checking.:laugh:

Thats a cute picture of him/her with your dog, I guess they get along from the looks of it. Josey also mimics my kitchen timer and the conure scream, sometimes she does it and then tells herself to shutup:S

Thanks to you for sharing a few photos of Vaskur and your other sweetheart with us.

Yes Josey says all kinds of words, shutup, hello Josey, pretty bird, bad bird, come here and other assorted words and phrases and she did not really talk until she was a year old. She mumbled and it was jibberish then the words were more clear, she does a good wolf whistle and she loves to mimic my laugh.:laugh: Your grey is still young yet, give it time.

Thats good Brittany that your grey is comfortqble with your boyfriend and your mom, makes it easier for all of you.B)

I have a few pictures in my profile page, check them out, I have Josey, my grey and Sunny, my sun conure.

Steph if you are talking about the quivering of the chest area that is normal, they all do that.

Yes unfortunately we do have some members in need of this information, thanks Tracy for posting it for them and all of us.

:sick: Heather you just had to share that with us didn't ya, just kidding, made me laugh though.:laugh:

Thanks so much Tracey for sharing that with us, even old fogeys like me learn something new every day.

What beautiful SI Eclectus parrots, they have such lovely colors and that is an unusual cage that you have there for Katie, thanks for sharing these with us.

Sure did, loved that too. B)

I am sorry Markh, but Alfie has chosen your partner as his favorite and a lot of greys do that. Not much you can do about that but continue to spend time with him and be the one to offer treats, he can still have a good relationship with you just not like with your partner. Why don't you introduce yourself in the welcome room and tell us a little about yourself and this grey you speak of.

Like you Hilary, I leave the radio on when I am gone during the day, the same station I listen to in my car and at work, so I hear what they hear. But that is amazing that he is talking at 4 months, I guess he has heard plenty so he decided to join in, my Josey did not really say her first word until she was 1 year of age, so it does vary from individual to individual.

Most greys will bond with one person, the one they have chosen as their favorite but that does not mean he won't be able to handle it. It may not bond with your fiance but it can have a good relationship with him if he works with it and spends some amount of time with him. He should come around often and be the one to give him treats, he should talk to him and interact with him, he may never come to be as close as his mother is to him but it will suffice if and when the inevitable does happen. I am glad you are thinking of this possibility and the more your fiance involves himself in the grey's life the less traumatic it will be when that does happen. I see this is your first post, why don't you introduce yourself in the welcome room and tell us a little more about you.

Sorry Steph, sometimes we get a little off topic, these are wonderful pictures of Goober, especially this last one, what a cutie!!!:kiss:

You do have a very good looking grey, Steph, thanks for sharing these with us.

Is that from the Andy Griffith show, Steph?

That is so funny, I would like to say that he is saying "that sounds good, can I join in" rather than the other choice, don't you!!!!!:laugh:

I voted and not for myself because I didn't enter it.:laugh:

Very good advice Tari, sometimes they just do it and there is nothing you can do to stop them but just love them unconditionally.

No harm in that, you are just enjoying your greys and it is fun sometimes to be a little silly:woohoo:

Thats so cute, Alfie, but he will tire of it soon.:whistle:

I think you got a stubborn one Ronda, but she needs to know that you are boss and not her so keep on with it, don't back down even if you get bit.

Sounds like you really had a lot of fun and thanks for sharing those moments with us, continue basking:P
