Hi Jamie - Oh man, do I miss those days when they are just a cute sleep with dad/mom baby...great photo!! The ceramic logs and lava rock type amber material do not emit any type of hazardous gases that would harm Parrots or Humans. The only caution on Gas fireplaces is if it is a "Sealed" unit rather than a standard vented fireplace. The regular fireplace allows carbon monoxide to vent up and out the chimney versus a sealed unit can deplete the room oxygen and also raise carbon monoxide to dangerous levels. If you do not already have one installed, a carbon monoxide detector is pretty much a necessity.<br><br>Post edited by: danmcq, at: 2007/11/16 14:17

Hi Ziggy!! Are you related to Joe? :-)

Nice Photo Trish on your Avatar!! Thanks for posting that. At 16 motnhs is she still your baby girl :-)

Well, try feeding him salt-less crackers, that always disables the whistle in cartoons ;-) Seriously though, that may be a hard problem to resolve, as I am sure you know very well. Maybe someone will have some ideas on associating that LOUD whistle with something negative, like it means take me to my cage every-time your grey whistles that loud? Just thinking out loud here :-)

Christine, You are right in the information being abundant out. The wild behaviour is different than that of a Grey bred and raised in captivity. From all the experiences I have read from Grey owners, they don't ALWAYS switch their love to another when they mature. In fact, in most well socialized Greys or single owner Greys, they go on through out their lives happy and content with one another. Their just is not enough data out there to place much confidence in what all the websites seemingly "parrot" or plagiarize from one another, thus just magnifying the amount of dis-information. That's what makes a Forum with experienced Grey owners such a valuable life line for facts and experience from multiple sources, rather than one. So far, Dayo (CAG) has proven many of the myths I was so worried about, wrong. It does not mean their are not Greys that display the attributes written about by some, but it does prove they are not an absolute nor a "Norm". Now, thats just my opinion, but I still call some of the common statements out there "Hogwash" Like my signature states, consume my opinions like a Watermelon.... :-)

Yes, keeping a bird flighted leaves everything open as a landing zone :-) Just make it "Bird Safe". If you can't, then clipping is the only way.

Thanks for the feeback. I am going to cut it off. I am afraid of it getting caught also. It is not a normal band, it is more of a ring with just the number stamped in it and it has been crimped together so the ends that meet when crimped do not form a perfect circle either where they touch... I think this is even more dangerous than the normal "Bands" you see.

Wow Joe, I am so sorry to hear that...I know the sick you get VERY well. Never stop looking, you just don't know when or where you might see him or hear him.

I have my ways Penny B) LOL

She looks like a Latte' to me :-)
