JokersMamma

I am letting him do his thing accross the room from me. I do have a quick question though... are mirrors a bad idea??? His play stand is next to a mirror in my living room and he keeps walking up to it and making little sounds under his breath it seems. He also keeps putting his wings out and moving them a little while watching the mirror...twice now i have heard him make a very highpitch sord of whistle at the mirror..does this mean he does like it?

thank you! i am trying to figure out photo bucket so i can post pics!

he seems to be a very "good bird" i say i;ve never had a bird before, but i guess its more i have never had a parrot before..we had lots of tiels growing up..but those were my dads..and he has passed away so i have no clue where to get advice! haha. I was wondering if that was what he was doing..it seems so odd for a bird to growl!! Like i said he will step up MOST of the time..when he doest i just let him be..i let him out on a play stand i got and he likes just sitting and watching me..he also makes his grinding sound with his beak alot. He will go on your shoulder but IF you let him up there he WILL NOT get down with out biting you pretty good! let me figure out the uploading here and i will put up a few pics..he seems to care for my husband wayyyy more then me!

Well after my neighbors had a house fire, we wound up with their bird and them staying here...when they got on their feet and left, they couldnt take "Joker" with them..so he has stayed here with me. He is an African grey i am told..but he looks a bit different then the ones here(he has some tanish color on his beak and a dusty red tail not bright red)...I never much interacted with him while they all lived here..because he stayed in their bedroom...so now i am at a loss with what to do..he bites all the time. He will step up for me, but thats it! If i try and touch him or he even thinks i am going to touch him he lunges at me and bites HARD. He has managed to draw blood once. I was told he is 7 years old and he is DNA male. He doesnt talk at all or even make sounds unless i come by his cage sometimes it sounds like he is growling at me! help help help!
