Haha. Sometimes the motorcycles aren't so bad when they're the funny ones. It's when he gets pissy and makes the sound of brakes squealing as loudly as he can that he tries my patience. The funny ones are a motorcycle horn, the click of a torch lighter, he says "ok, got it" everytime you're on the phone because that's what guys say when taking an order, and the cuss words can be kind of funny when no sensitive people are around (he knows every one in the book and says them when you drop something or when he gets tired of people). I'm looking forward to him picking up the noises around this house so he'll(hopefully) leave the loud break noises in his past.

Hello all!! My name is Tasha and I recently adopted a Temneh named Mojo. He's atleast 12 and used to be a "shop bird" in a motorcycle shop. The upside? He's really happy to be in a home and apart of a family. The down side? He knows every annoying motorcycle noise you can think of and uses them regularly haha. Mojo isn't used to being held very much and has always had his flying wings. We've been working on him NOT flying away when we go to pick him up and not flying off our fingers when we start to walk with him. I can see that we've made a whole lot of progress in just a short amount of time and I'm happy to say that my fingers are still intact I've done a lot of researche but that, as I've found with my other pets, other owners usually know best so I'm open for any advice available from all of you experienced owners!

I knew going in that grey's were not known for being the most affectionate but, as i keep reading everybody else's posts, I keep hearing about others that enjoy a scratch or two. I'm still learning all of his body language so I don't know if that's something that he'd like or not. I'll just keep at it with everything else and see how he does. He's been adapting unbelievably so I guess I shouldn't push it just because I'm impatient

My husband and I recently adopted a Temneh AG. We're not completely sure of the age but the last owner got him about 10 years ago. He was a work pet and only had men around let him do what he wanted to do whenever he was out. He's ok with step up (we're getting past the random biting when he doesn't want to) and he's getting better about even walking around on finger (usually he flies off your hand or flies off when you try to get him to step up). My only problem is that anytime you go to pet him in anyway he flies away. He hasn't had his wings clipped with the other owner and we're going through a bit of a dominance struggle. Is he just not going to be a cuddly bird or is it simply that he doesn't know what it's like to be cuddled since they never tried?
