That is fantastic! Two of my greys do the full phone thing especially when we are texting, they have the beeping off to a tee! Your grey is so beautiful and very talented! Thanks for sharing.

More rain!!!! Its all its done for the last week! Typical now the kids have broken up from school and just want to be playing outside.

Dave, you are such a sweetheart. Thankyou SO much for this new poem, it has really made my day:)

Firstly, let me thank everyone for their kind words it means so much. Well, after a box of kleenex, a good talk with my husband, I have decided I cant get rid of Jasper. This has got to have been one of the toughest days ever and feels like Ive been on an emotional rollercoaster but I just cant do it. My husband Dave has been great, he pointed out to me about how upset Ive just been today and Jasper is still here. What an earth would I be like without him? I tell you, you just dont realise how much these birds mean to us. I cuddled Jasper earlier and felt so guilty but it seemed my only option. I feel bad about the person who was interested in Jasper, I text and explained, up till now he hasnt been back in touch. I do hope I dont lose a friend over this. I know some wonderful people on here with multiple birds, Dave007 is a man I have always looked up to and always asked advice when I have needed it, Im afraid I might be asking away again Dave. Sometimes we need something like this to happen to answer our own questions. I will be looking for more positive solutions! My husband is building a seperate area for Jasper to hang out, structure on time out of cages will be looked at and certain methods of training as well. So I remain the proud owner of three greys:) Thankyou for being there everyone.

Thanks Caitlin, it takes a lot to admit when somethings just not working out, especially when you have tried over a period of time. I love all my birds the same which makes this so difficult but i feel I have to look at things long term and do what is right for all concerned. I think having a big heart is what is making this more painful:(

I have a very serious dilemma on my hands which is absolutely breaking my heart. As most of you know, I have three greys. Its not easy sailing believe me. From the day I brought home my baby Jasper my middle grey hated him! My middle grey Keeko is very dominant and posessive over me, he hates the baby coming near me. Charlie the older grey used to accept Jasper but over the last few months he now copies Keeko and is just as nasty. I dont have seperate rooms to put them in and I have tried seperate out time where Keeko still tries to get to Jasper through the cage. In my heart I know that Jasper deserves to have a better life sometimes without being constantly bullied by the other two. The other two have such a close bond its quite scary really, they dont want another bird near them, it has taken a year to realise this and believe me, I dont give up easy I just want whats best for everyone. A close friend of mine has one grey, he is looking to add another one and is interested in Jasper. He has a great home, plenty of time and experience, is willing to put the hard work into introducing two greys and I am torn on what to do. I would only let Jasper go to someone I know with all these qualities, if this person visits and is not interested Jasper will stay I will not give him to a stranger. I am heartbroken at even thinking this way but worry that a serious injury may occur to my birds or even myself. By the way, I am in tears just typing this, it is the last resort and something which just hasnt worked out. I want the best for all my greys and nothing less. Jasper is 14 months old and like my other two I have had him from being a baby. Sorry for such a long post but if anyone can help and support I know it would be my friends on here.

Hello and welcome to the forum. Hope you enjoy it here and cant wait to hear more about Holly:)

Ladies, Im with you on this one! Dan the secret Facebook man and not sharing his Facebook with us all! Shame on you Dan!!!!!!! :P

Very nice! Ive not seen anything like this before. My three just use my curtains as a play gym:laugh:

Just a normal day here. Ive cleaned up and the birds are making a mess again:laugh: Well, what else am I here for? Its such a miserable cold day so i dont think I will bother going out anywhere. I got the neighbours shopping last night (the ones who are poorly) so I know they are okay for today. Just waiting for my daughter coming home, the kids break up today for 7 weeks and her school shuts early. Let the fun begin! 3 greys, 2 kids how grey will I be by September?:laugh:

Wow! 10am!!!!! we are lucky to have a sleep in until 7am on a weekend, Charlie my eldest grey is always awake early and talking or should I say shouting away as soon as he wakes up. The others stay asleep for an extra hour:)

This is great news! My birds also talk in my husbands voice and also pick things up from Dave a lot quicker than they do from me! Interesting!

Rain coming down by the bucket! My garden is starting to flood!:blink:

Koko is one beautiful looking grey! Thanks for sharing these wonderful pictures with us.

Ouch!!!! I bet thats sore. What Tat did you get done?

Only one of my greys sits and eats with us, he just flies straight in which I dont mind. If you want him to eat with you, do him a seperate dish with food in, he will soon learn whats his ( and maybe some table manners as well lol) If it becomes to much of a problem though maybe he will have to go away just while you are eating.
