lol yes JakeGreyi know that behavior well timmys favrote one is to sit on my shoulder wait till i have a cup of tea then aim to drink as much as he can before i stop him
ah well we've tryed all that but he doesnt seem interested, yet seems to love taking
it out on me when we try, the last few days hes been a real little git biteing me and digging his claws into my skin.
Ok we got a new perch for timmy and he will not go near it,
Will i have to introduce him to it a little at a time or put it in the room with him
as you can probably tell i have no idea what to do any help will be much appreciated.
tom and timmy
thanks for the welcome,
well i didn't know he was a Congo African Grey he was originally my brothers but work means he spends very little time at home and timmy bonded with me what makes it funny is when iam not around he will go to my mother and be nice to her till she touches him.
he loves watching tv lied on his back normally while i stroke his belly or while he fills is water dish with dryed fruit or seeds and then throws them at the dogs its funny because he will call them when they leave the room.
A girl i was going out with said that a parrot is a bit like having a child but parrots are better behaved.
well at least i dount feel like a weirdo the closest smell i can get it to is a hamster not dirty but not clean sort of nice i used to have a snake that had no type of smell it was never the same.
hi to every one
just thought id say hello from me and my African gray parrot Timmy hes a year old born on Halloween some times he can be a terror.
few examples are attacking me when my mum goes near him to his one time run in with a pint of lager (a party were he escaped his cagge and climbed on to my pint glass that was on the table next to his cage and he had a sip and deiced he liked the feel of the glass then the lager).
Unplugging my modem from the phone line.
and laughing every times he poops and it splats in his cage or when he gets it in my shirt pocket.
the two reasons iam here is the removal of his main flight feathers (i think) he ounly ever pulls 2 out and no others (well except when grooming of course.)
and a hiss he seems to do iam not sure were he got it from but he will sit on my shoulder and when i say things like timmy its time for bed he will hiss at me is this some thing hes larned or a parrot warning.
Hi again from tom and timmy
