Tsunami

My macaw and amazon do this with the eyes, but they are now very very friendly and never bite. But they still do the eyes. Normally when they are wide awake and playful.

Jasper (my existing conure) played hell with them and tried to chase them off. Then he fell in love with the female, and she seems to have taken him in preference to the male she came with. But they all seem to be happy sitting near each other, no attacking. Grey's aren't really taking any notice. The macaw chased the new amazon a bit, but he does that with all of the birds. The 2 amazons don't seem to have clicked - but then mine is 5 and the new one is 9 months. She's really cute - semi-hand-reared, she sits on my finger, but no cuddling or stroking like the hand reared one.

You'll have to be more careful with your grammer, I thought you were tempted to eat your parrot there!

Neighbour complained about the noise of the three conures outside - can't say I blame him. So I've now got the 3 conures in here with me (I quite like the three of them squawking to each other - it's surprisingly not as bad as just one squawking at me) and the other 5 birds outside in the aviary during the day, and back in when it's dark.

Just got a pair of conures, my existing conure nicked his girlfriend! They were getting all kissy kissy earlier!

No they enlarge and retract the iris repeatedly. An effect you would only get in your own eyes if you were looking at a flashing bright light.

I've got greys, a macaw, amazons, and conures, and they;'ve never had a fight bad enough to remove feathers or blood.

ROTFPMSL! Why are you backing up the troll?

That's one tough parrot.

If he was being a child, would he not like being petted at this point?

Oscar has started doing this a lot. Especially if I am in the house looking through the window to the aviary, he stares straight at me and bobs his head about 5 times. If I do the same, he repeates. Gets fed up after about 10 cycles, and progsses to his vast array of whistles (which I've no idea where he got them from).

You still here? Go play with your teddies.

What you don't get is you are the childish one. So, you still haven't admitted finally learning where to type.

The chances of a usenet thread having degenerated into a pissing contest is directly proportional to the number of replies.

I wonder if you have to show affection back so as not to upset her? One of my amazons kept trying to mount (!) my shoulder, but he's gone off with a female now.

My macaw does this, but he is only 2.5 - too early to be mature?

Are you his mother?

"condition" ROTFPMSL!

Which equates to "I haven't a clue how to set it up".

Is there such a thing as a woman who only has PMT at a certain time of the month?

He has an African Grey. And you (contrary to what you think) are not the only person who cares for birds. Why do you assume everyone is cruel until proven otherwise? Over half your replies to new posts are telling people they shouldn't have the bird. Not sure how you lived so long with such a pessimistic view on life.

That term is usually applied to a medical problem such as cancer.

She'll either lie or hit me.

It ain't rubbish. A condition is a problem, such as a pulled tendon.

I'm not one of those upper class "thouh must speaketh the Queen's toungue" people, but when yanks say alooominum, stoodent, cenner, stooopid, etc, I can't help but fall about laughing.
