HI My Grey started at 8 weeks. SHe said hello and come here at that time. That was what she said to me when I was looking for a bird at my bird dealers store. So of course I went to her and fell in love. BUt to really start talking it was about 8 months or so. She is 3 now and is a chatter box. But she likes to talk when your not in the room. I can here her talking in my voice...my husbands..she screams like our kids..barks like the puppy. So funny. If my son yells our to me "MA" Olivia answers in my voice a loud "WHAT?" Or if I call my husband "Michael" She will say.."come here!" She also likes to drive the neighbors crazy by making the back up sound of the trash truck. Once my neighbor peeked her head over the fence and said..Casey why is the trash truch coming on a weds. She really thought they were driving down the street. I also taught her animal sounds this year. I started my just saying "owl" whoo whoo "Pig" Oink oink "Duck" quack quack and so on...after a few days I would just say "Olivia...do Owl" and she would just say whoo whoo. and so on with all the animals. My favorite is the SHEEP...she really does the sound like BAAAAA BAAAA. SO funny! They are amazing!

I figured out the photo thing using my online server. Thanks

Thanks...Yes I swear you would never think plastic would do that much damage. Plus almost all bird toys have plasic in them. But with the larger parrots I would not get the plastic that can be bit. The first time she did it she bit one side of the toy and then the other so it formed a sharp triangle then when she bit that part the triangle point stabbed right through the tongue. IT took 2 days to stop bleeding totally. I even bought that toy from a special grey site that made toys just for them. I have learned my lesson twice about plastic...no more!

Hello I stumbled upon this site the other day and joined. My name is Casey I have 3 young children and I love animals and exotics. I have 2 parrots, Olivia my 3 yr old Congo Grey, Nicki my 8 yr old african Senegal. We also have 2 ferrets , 2 salt water tanks and a new puppy. So we have a full house! I am having trouble uploading photos so as I learn I will send in more of her. Do I need to upload to a server and the copy and paste?? Or just attach with the browse...I dont see a photo when I preview ? Thank you Casey http://imagehost.vendio.com/a/17914366/aview/DSC_0057.JPG http://imagehost.vendio.com/a/17914366/aview/1222435383828_DSC_0054.JPG http://imagehost.vendio.com/a/17914366/aview/1222435381019_DSC_0052.JPG<br><br>Post edited by: casey7e, at: 2008/09/26 15:24

She is....IM trying to post photos now in the Welcome section.

HI thank you all I will go the the Welcome room as soon as I get some time. I want to add photos too. I just discovered this site yesterday when looking for help. It looks great and I cant wait to chat more. Thanks for all the info. I did just give her a bit of water because her tonque looked really dry. I cant believe how fast they heal!! She took a good few sips and it also cleaned off some of the debris left behind. Im sure she is going to be fine. Still no talking but Im sure she is doing what she knows best to rest. Thank to all and I look foward to talking soon. I need to down size most of my photos of her to upload.

She is not going to be over worked thats for sure. She is just sitting on a empty perch bored. But I can tell she is still in pain. She hasnt said more than hello when the phone rang. Other than that she is very very quiet and she is usually talking most of the time. Thank you
