What a beauty Ollie is congrates on a healthy vet check up

You Grey is only 6months old and still very much a baby enjoy the cuddle time while it lasts. He has 2 years or so before you have to worry about him thinking of you as mate material so go ahead and love on your baby all he wants

Very nice aren't birds just the best companions I just love mine to peices

This morning I was playing with Darius on my bed my daughyer came in and sat down on the end of the bed Darius decided that this bed was for him&I and no one else well he puffed up all his feathers spread is wings and charged towards her She just say there and looked at him he looked so cute He didn\t attack but he was doing his best bluff to scare her away it was so cute My own personal watch bird aren't I lucky LOL

She looking at you as if to say you are spoiling all my fun would you get away from me with that thing don't you have anything better to do. :laugh:

I know tat feeling really well I remember te first time Adaya flew I was so excited she wasn't very graceful at all in fact she hit the patio door. But she learned from her mistake and hasn't ever done it again now she does recall beautifly and flys all over the house. She follows me everywhere. when she's out and about there isn't a moments peace for anyone:laugh: I had the biggest thrill the other nigt when I actually got to see my Tyco fly I knew she had been flying for awhile because I would walk into the room and she would be over visiting Fergie her cage is about 10 feet away then the other night I went to take her back to her own cage and she lost her footing and instead of falling she took flight flew about 3ft turned around and did the most graceful landing on my arm now that was exciting Tyco never learned ow to fly as a baby she is 6 years old and has finally learned to fly tats so exciting to me. so I know how wonderful tose first flights can be to see your bird doing what it was meant to do is such a beautiful site to see.

That have been a wonderful place to visit I would love to see all those different birds up close and Personal the birds must be so well socialized with havein so many people comeing to see them all the time I would just love it having 6 or 7 birds hanging out on me all at one time. I would feel rigt at home :laugh:

Dan right when he say it may be so ingrained he may never stop. I have an Amazon that I rescued 10 years ago She came from a very abusive home where there was allot of fighting ad swearing. She hates men to this day because of te abuse she endured. And to this day everytime someone raises their voice in anger she will go off on a swearing speil that would make a Sailor cover his ears. I have always ignored it but its just something that is triggered by anger most of the time she is as sweet as pie and never says those words. Its a good thing there isn't much fighting around here or I'm sure it would be allot worse.

Wow Judy I better get pposting if I ever hope to catch up Congrates and its so great how many people have been helped by all those post you should be very proud oof yourself I know I'm very proud of you

Adaya has learned how ti mimic and talk and now she has learned to sound exactly like Darius its so cute I can't beleive how good she is at it she has everything he says down to a tee.

My Tyco was not permited to fledge before someone butchered his wing which cause her to barber the left wing flight feathers for the next 4 years of her life. When I got her I had her wings clipped properly by a certified avian vet and she finally stopped barbering and she is fully flight but still doesn't fly very well but she is finally learning how I'm very please that she actually flew the other night turned and flew back to me and made a perfect landing onto my hand I was so proud of her she has been fully flighted for quite awhile and has been practicing a little but that was the first time I actually saw her turn and land perfectly I'm still thrilled my Tyco is finally learning to fly.

Wonderful poem and I agree totaly with all of it. I could no more part with my birds than I could one of my own children they are my children also and will have my unconditional love as long as I am able to give it. And with Gods grace that will mean many many more wonderful years with my beautiful flying angels

Yep yep you have arrived at the best source on the net many of us have other pets as well as our Greys Its fine as long as they are well supervised when out at the same time if your cats are bird killers I would sujust keeping them separated because even a scratch from a cat is deadly to your bird cats carry pasturella in their saliva and their claws its deadly to birds so you will have to supervise them when they are in the same room together. other than that Greys make great pets as long as you don't mind a bit of a mess and the fact that they love to talk your ear off once they learn how.LOL

Great pictures I'd say send them both in he's a beauty all right gorgeous Grey you have there he has great taste to Ilove limes specially on a very hot day in a nice icey cold margeritta :laugh: ooops I mean in a fruit salad<br><br>Post edited by: Tycos_mom, at: 2009/10/14 00:40

I'am so glad he's doing so well its amazing what rotine and consistancy can do. I think they all try to push ttheir luck from tim to time. When Darius are playing and haveing lots of fun even he will push his luck a little when it come to going back to his play stand. He would much rather stay and play with me but like all of us we have allot of other things that we have to get done. I would love to be able to spend all day playing with Darius but its not possible so he has to understand that when I say play time is over thats all there is to it and he going back to his play stand weather he likes it or not. They are just like children in so many ways and if you let them get away with something once they think its going to happen all the time. consistancy is a big part of training.

souds yummmmy i'll have to try it and see if my birds like it.

I love Meikos new playsand all he needs now is a basket or bucket full of wood cookie untreated wood from the lumberyard and a few toys and he will be the happiest parrot Darius love his play stands he has three of them in different rooms and he has his hanging playground with a swing large link chain to climb from his atom to his swing or his boing or to his play stand or cage he has ropes and toys a couple of wicker baskets to hold his wood cookies he really gets his excersize thats for sure I haven't got a picture of it right now but I will take one for you later and post it. How is Meiko doing with his training is he getting better. you haven't posted much so I'm taking that as good news.<br><br>Post edited by: Tycos_mom, at: 2009/10/13 22:55
