Hi All , An update on our new edtion to the Family "Rocco" He has really settled with me :laugh: , he has regurgitated his food (in my face)and only bit me twice in one week....The rest of the time he is very gentle and vocal :woohoo: However :unsure: He hates my wife and bites her at every opportunity Could this be because it is mating season and he sees her as a threat ? Will his bad behaviour toward her diminish once the mating season is over ?

And a little shot of the fella himself :-)....Im not to happy with the condition of his feathers (they seem a little scruffy) but he eats very well and is very perky.

Cage Position ... good or bad ? <br><br>Post edited by: Pegasus, at: 2008/02/14 20:56

Thanks Hannah_Rae....I will instruct the other bird on the plan of action :laugh:

Thanks Tari, Its seems as tho he has attached to me str8 away....I put him on my wifes hand but he flew str8 back to me :ohmy: Any tips on how we can make sure he responds to both of us ? He has only been in the house for 3 hours :woohoo:

I cant believe this :woohoo: He has been lying on my chest getting his neck scratched......MIMICKED MY TELEPHONE RINGING....when I went to answer and found noone there,,HE CALLED ME A SXXXXXL (naughty dutch word !!!!):blink: He has been eating quite a lot and preening himself. The cage is not a great one and I will by a new one tomorrow for him. Any ideas on my questions above ?

OK all.........Rocco has entered the building He is eating a small piece of apple now...but sat on my shoulder had had a good head massage :laugh: Two questions ; 1. When my wife talks to him he bows down (wings go a little extended and fluffs up a little bit). 2. Sometimes he gives a very soft sort of coeing sound (any ideas?) Pictures to follow:woohoo:

Just a quick question about the location of the cage ? Where would be the best location 1.At the window ? 2.In the middle of room (back to the wall)?

Hi everyone....Tomorrow I will be picking up my African Grey, He is five years old and speaks over 500 words & phrases, very tame with all and other animals. I have read quite a lot about the african grey and would like to gather as much info as I possibly can in order for him to be settled in his new environment....Any advise would be greatly apprieciated
