He sounds normal, like others stated so well. Here is a link withh the panting sound the others are describing....

IMHO - The best pellet, is the one you bird will eat some of. My Grey and Conure will eat small quantities of Harrisons Coarse High Potency and Harrisons Spicy. They will not touch any other pellet. I ensure they get all the vitamins and minerals they need from veggies, nuts, seeds, eggs, Red Palm Oil,a little fruit and direct sunlight and - or UV lighting. I have a feeling a study as indicated, was based on some birds being fed a "Pellet Only" diet, which is not healthy at all for any Parrot, bird or other critter for that matter. It would be interesting, if the study is available for reading on the Internet somewhere. Is it posted? The way it was performed, what species Parrot was used and for how long.

Happy belated B-Day Pat!! I hope you had a GreYt day yesterday! :-)

Very sorry to hear of your loss Caroline. You have my condolences and are in my thoughts and prayers.

What a big boy he is in that big new cage. GreYt photos, thanks for sharing them. :-)

Your baby Grey is a beauty! Thanks for posting the photo. :-)

Thats GreYt! Koko is certainly going to enjoy that added freedom to fly and roam further. :-) How long is the extension? Thanks for posting the videos, Koko is a very accomplished flyer. Loved the way he nailed the pole landing!

Welcome Shannon, Willow and Diego!! It's GreYt having you here. Looking forward to hearing more and seeing photos when you get a chance. :-)<br><br>Post edited by: danmcq, at: 2009/08/11 14:50

GreYt update and I love that Blanky Photo!! What a sweeheart you have there. :-) Looking forward to more photos.

Great photos of Ecko on the Beach! Thanks for sharing them. :-)

I want to thank everyone that has contributed to this so far. There are MANY that belong to this forum that I see no entry from.....YET. I guess we can all assume their birds only talk when they are away from home. :whistle: Come you guys, post your Grey(s) information!! :-)

It would be very unlikely that your neighbors are hearing anything or something more than a muffled whistle. Unless you take them outside. Maybe they are actually hearing mocking birds that sing all day and night or other birds in the area? Perhaps they just assume it's your Parrots? You should by a Large Macaw, then see what the neighbors think. :-)

Oh, sorry to hear Koko became car sick. Was it a very windy road?

Congratulations Emma, you are know one of the Bold, the Brave, the Few that will now venture where no clipped bird has ever gone.......skyward (well towards the ceiling, no unharnessed flights)!! :-)

Simply amazing and entertaining. Thanks for posting it and karma to you. :-)<br><br>Post edited by: danmcq, at: 2009/08/10 20:34

LOL - I loved these photos of Smokie, what a character!! :-) Thanks for posting them.

Even Kim, Dayos love muffin, is not welcome to mess with Dayos blanky when he is playing with it!! All I can say is it's good to see Dayo treat her like this every once in a while :whistle: Even though it is nothing like he treats me at times... got 3 blood letting bites yesterday :pinch: But, I should have seen them coming. :-)

NOT!!! Hope you enjoy.... :-)

Has he been like this for 2 years since your father "forced him out"? You did not answer my questions. Time and patience are the only things that will solve this issue. You must approach the cage in a different way or have someone else do so that your Grey does not damage himself when they approach. A lot more detailed information will be needed before anyone can really help you with specific answers.

Welcome Sarah_Vee! It sounds like, for whatever reason, your new baby grey likes your uncle as his favorite. It may sound harsh, but I would ask the uncle to quit coming over or move your Grey to another room before you let you uncle in the house. If this continues, your Uncle will be the favored and you will be 2nd banana. You can never predict whom a Grey will chose as their most loved. It does not matter if your the one their 24-7 and feed, take care of etc. the bird. Just keep being patient and loving as you are and hopefully your new Grey will become more friendly to you.

Wow, GreYt photos! It looks like Tigerlily and her slaves had a wonderful time. :-) Thanks for sharing these photos.

What a fine looking B&G Pebbles is. Looks like a real sweetheart. :-) Thanks for posting these photos.
