I sometimes give a sip of juice straight up if you know what I mean and they love it.

We love photos, can't you tell.:lol:

Mine will call if she does not see me and I respond with I am still here and she is ok with that. Out of her sight she just wants reassurance that I haven't left her.

As long as the cover is on her cage you don't hear anything out of her. I've covered her from day one and it has never been an issue.

I'll never tell.{Communicate-0002011A}

I wondered why you are on so often, now I know why.:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I would agree we have some good looking guys here on the forum and I never tire of looking at them, right Talon?{Feel-good-0002006B}

Personally George Clooney could put his shoes under my bed any night. And as for age if Demi Moore can get away with it so can I.

Its either one or the other, take your pick.:laugh:

I think that is something we all can relate to.

Birds were made to fly and thats just what they do.

We all learn something new every day don't we?

Who did you get your grey from, a breeder? I can't believe she weaned her onto seeds. Anyone who knows these birds ought to know better than that. You can get her off those but it will be a gradual process. Glad she is eating fresh veggies. She's well on her way to healthier eating thanks to you.

I think he is trying to rule the roost. He needs to know you are in charge but not in a mean way. When you get a grey you should not have spent any more time on him than what you planned to spend for the rest of his life. Lavishing all that attention on him at first is what made him think it was going to be like that from now on and it ain't. I must say that I guess I have had it easy as my grey, who turned 1 year old last month, has never bitten me. She has beaked me and pushed me away with her beak but never broken the skin. When I tell her to step up she does because she knows I mean it. I don't let her get away, I follow thru. Maybe the kids shouldn't try to pick him up at this point and just you and your fiance do that. Gently but firm have him step up and if he tries to bite don't pull back or flinch. Show him it will not make you go away and he will eventually give it up, I hope. If he does bite tell him no and turn your back to him and walk away. Go back after a bit and try again. Maybe I am not the person who should be giving you advice as I have not the experience with biting greys. Mine has been so sweet so far but that could change when she goes thru the terrible twos.:dry:

Hello Cris, I have to start this off with some questions to be able to give you some answers. How old is Mason, a new baby or a rehomed grey? When he bites do you pull away or scream at him? What kind of diet do you have him on? I think part of your problem is when you first brought him home he was the center of attention and now he does not get much and he does not like it.

I guess they have different tastes for things like we do.

Welcome LunaBaby and I am so glad you joined the ranks of grey owners. I too have heard some of those comments but I attribute it to jealousy. They would probably like to own one but don't want the mess and noise so they try to bring on negativity to explain why they don't have one. Also some of it is factual but it depends on the individual bird, some are tempermental, nasty or one person birds but it doesn't speak for all of them. Each one is unique and has it's own personality but a few have been like you heard so all are labeled that way. I would ignore those comments and enjoy your bird, thats why you got it anyway wasn't it. I look forward to hearing more about Luna and her personality. I really like that name Luna.

I agree with Monique, you need to let him know who is in charge.

No lizard, no snakes and no iguanas. Many years ago my daughter had a tarantula she kept in a large aquarium tank with a screened cover. That thing was as big as your hand but it was not at my house for long, she moved out and took it with her, thank god, because it finally got out one day and she never found it. Glad it was not at my house.:ohmy:

I can't wait to see the new member of your household, Oliver. Yes you had to wait a long time but it is almost over and the fun begins. I look forward to hearing the stories you will have to tell us of his new adventures.

My sun conure will let me roll her pin feathers to release them from their casing but I don't know if my grey will let me do that. She has not gone thru a molt yet so I will have to wait and see. You can also use some Molt Ease to help the process along.

Ouch, that hurts too even if she does not bite you, the feeling that she wants him and not you makes you feel left out. Things could change with Josey later but now she only likes me, just tolerates my husband.:laugh:

Yes Talon even cooked mushrooms are forbidden, sorry.:ohmy:
