They get so independent they don't want the cuddles anymore. Sometimes when I want some cuddles I go get my sun conure, she will cuddle with me.

Believe me Penny you would not want to see that in my lifetime.

I think I have that one too, I bought several books on greys before I got mine, never too much information.

Okay calm down, I think everything is going to be ok. It's easy to be paranoid over new things. 3 weeks is not that long and it might take a while to get her trust just don't give up she will come around. The twitch, is it more like a quiver in the chest area, that is normal, nothing to be concerned about.

If we could just teach the birds to not waste money we would have it made.

It's too bad that when he gets on at night there it will be middle of the night close to morning here. There is a 6 hour time difference, Hawaii does not do daylight savings time.

Josey's eyes are lightening up now and eventually they will be slightly yellow.

I liked them too, I especially like disco music it makes me want to shake my booty.

Very good advice Penny, I never had any experience with bed bugs either.

Oh Penny better be careful with that razor blade, who knew credit cards could be so useful.

Don't want any shatterproof bulbs if it is coated with it.

I've fed it boiled or raw. I cut the corn into wheels and thread it on a kabob and hang it in her cage. My sun conure is so cute when she eats corn, she eats all the inside and leaves the husk of the kernal.

Why don't you teach mine to talk, almost a year old and she does not say anything clear yet. But she has my kitchen timer down pat.

I don't think there is a lot of difference in the personalities of a Cag versus Tag, just differences in body characteristics. Both make fine pets.

Josey likes to hang upside from some of her toys and attack them sometimes viciously. She's not much on cuddles anymore, sometimes at night before she goes to bed.

Wendy my grey loves sweet potatoes too, and she loves pinto beans. She goes after any kind of pasta or rice.

My grey has not said a lot yet but she is still young, will be 1 year old next week. She does all kinds of gibberish but nothing you can understand. She does a good wolf whistle though.

I can give you the name of a good book to read about greys, "For the Love of Greys" by Bobbi Brinker. It has lots of good information, I read it before I bought my grey. I also second Julia's response, get a baby if you can.

Julia gave you good advice, head to the vet to check it out. Could be nothing to worry about but better to be safe than sorry.

Welcome Sotanax, if you are talking about the first poop of the day it is the biggest, they usually hold it overnight. As for talking there is not a 100% probability they will talk, most do but I have found a few that didn't. Likely yours will eventually talk, some do early and some don't until well after the first birthday. Yes you do need a cage, like Cesarsdad said you need it for the times you are not at home. Too many things they can get into, also they need some time to be just themselves. There will be times they need the safety of the cage. Encourage him to go in the cage and see what a safe place it is. Maybe he doesn't like where it is placed. Usually they like one side against the wall and not in front of a window. This is just a little more advice, others will have some more. Keep us informed on the progress.

Mine is not really talking yet, she does a lot of jibberish. She will be 1 year old on May 25. How old is your bird?

It's like kids with Christmas presents, they open them and toss the gift aside and play with the boxes.

Somebody knows a thing or two about proper wing clipping.

You screw things up, aw come on now. Don't spend too much time on getting photos and such back to us that you don't have time to enjoy the sights. By the way I never did find out which island/islands you are going to.

Yep, I live on a mountain and I see mountains from the house. Maybe this weekend I will take some photos of the views I see from my house.
