Labour Pains A married couple went to he hospital to have their baby delivered. Upon their arrival, the doctor said he had invented a new machine that would transfer a portion of the mother's labour pain to the father. He asked if they were willing to try it out. They were both very much in favour of it. The doctor set the pain transfer dial to 10% for starters, explaining that even 10% was probably more pain than the father had ever experienced before. But as the labour progressed, the husband felt fine and asked the doctor to go ahead and bump it up a notch. The doctor then adjusted the machine to 20% pain transfer. The husband was still feeling fine. The doctor checked the husband's blood pressure and was amazed at how well he was doing. At this point they decided to try for 50%. The husband continued to feel quite well. Since it was obviously helping out his wife considerably, the husband encouraged the doctor to transfer ALL the pain to him. The wife delivered a healthy baby with virtually no pain. She and her husband were ecstatic. When they got home, the mailman was lying dead on their porch.

Camel Questions A mother and baby camel are talking one day when the baby camel asks, "Mom why have I got these huge three toed feet?" The mother replies, "Well son, when we trek across the desert your toes will help you to stay on top of the soft sand". "OK" said the son. A few minutes later the son asks, "Mom, why have I got these great long eyelashes?" "They are there to keep the sand out of your eyes on the trips through the desert", "Thanks Mom" replies the son. After a short while, the son returns and asks, "Mom, why have I got these great big humps on my back??" The mother, now a little impatient with the boy replies, "They are there to help us store water for our long treks across the desert, so we can go without drinking for long periods." "That's great mom, so we have huge feet to stop us sinking, and long eyelashes to keep the sand from our eyes and these humps to store water. But Mom", "Yes son?" "Why the heck are we in the San Diego Zoo?"

Hi rtbird, Thank you for that information it's always good to hear from a member who has actual experience of the gym being disscussed on this thread, you really do recommended it Why not introduce yourself in our welcome room ?

Here's one previous thread on toilet training.. http://www.greyforums.net/forums/african-grey/27204-potty-training-for-real.html#27204 If you do a search in the box at the top of the page there are many others type in either "toilet training" or " potty training "

elmo There is a factory in Northern Minnesota which makes the Tickle Me Elmo Toys. The toy laughs when you tickle it under the arms. Well, Lena is hired at The Tickle Me Elmo factory and she reports for her first day promptly at 8:00 AM. The next day at 8:45 AM there is a knock at the Personnel Manager's door. The Foreman throws open the door and begins to rant about the new employee. He complains that she is incredibly slow and the whole line is backing up, putting the entire production line behind schedule. The Personnel Manager decides he should see this for himself, so the 2 men march down to the factoryfloor. When they get there the line is so backed up that there are Tickle Me Elmo's all over the factory floor and they're really beginning to pile up. At the end of the line stood Lena surrounded by mountains of Tickle Me Elmo's. She had a roll of plush red fabric and a huge bag of small marbles. The 2 men watched in amazement as she cut a little piece of fabric, wrapped it around two marbles and began to carefully sew the little package between Elmo's legs. The Personnel Manager burst into laughter. After several minutes of hysterics he pulled himself together and approached Lena . "I'm sorry," he said to her, barely able to keep a straight face, "but I think you misunderstood the instructions I gave you yesterday..." "Your job is to give Elmo two test tickles."

Pleased to hear that Sunny seems better, may have been just an off day, If it was continuous over a few days then yes a vet check, but you know that anyway keep us updated Judy.

Yep totally agree with the others, a vet check, better to be safe than sorry Please keep us informed.

Totally agree with Judy & Dan, he looks around 12 weeks,i haven't hand-reared greys but the 2 feeds seem fine, as Dan said make sure he has fresh water & some varied foods available in his cage.The cage is fine for now or for a sleeping cage but he really will need a bigger one.Where's the toys ? Try & get him a cement perch or a sandy perch, it will keep his claws from being to sharp,the wooden dowel ones are not very good for their feet. Stretching legs & wings a lot is this OK, is he happy with the new cage or what? Is it a normal thing? completely normal grey behaviour If his wings are not like that permanently then there's nothing to worry about. Right now a question for you ? What's his name ?
