Wildiesel, every grey is different. My Ana Grey is a shy bird around other people, but this is also my choice as I do not let other people, except family, touch her. She has full run of my home (stay at home person) except for sleeping and when I am out she is caged. She is fearless when it comes to new things like toys. I do what I believe is right for my grey regardless of what I have read. We all need to watch our companions and do what is right for each, separately, as like people, they are all different. Please introduce yourself in the Welcome Room and tell us a little about yourself and your grey(s).
