Thanks Lanibird... sounds like some good ideas. I have tried ignoring him, I've tried entertaining him, feeding him more... nothing seems to work. I don't even think it's about getting attention half the time, I think he just plain knows it annoys me and thinks that's entertaining!! Haha... I will try getting him a more interesting toy, he's got quite a few, but he more enjoys destroying than playing, as I'm sure everyone's bird does. But thanks for the tips, we're heading to the store to get him some pellets tonight so maybe I'll pick up a new toy for him. B)

Hello Everyone My name is Amanda, and my boyfriend Mike and I recently brought a baby African Grey into our home (March of this year). We named him Stitch, and for those of you who have seen the movie Lilo & Stitch, the name suits well! He's been DNA sexed a boy, and even though he is a little stubborn a lot of the time, we love him to death. He was raised in Quebec, and we got him at approximately 6 months of age. I used to have an IRN by the name of Indy, who unfortunately passed away two years ago, and I was lacking that amazing companionship that a parrot gives a person, so we started looking for a Grey. I could not be happier, he can be very cuddly, he loves getting scratches on his head, and he's the typical chatterbox baby bird. About the only complaint I have is that he has learned how to scream, and it's incredibly annoying and extremely loud. I have a feeling he picked it up from hearing the seagulls at our old apartment, and it's so obnoxious but I can't get him to quit. If anyone has any suggestions that would be great... Anyway, that's a long winded intro, look forward to contributing and talking with you all!!:cheer:
