Funny thing about that picture...he was being good and cute, all up until I actually snapped the shot. He just latched onto my ear and gave me a good nip!

My grey, Savage, loves grapes! I throw a few into a bowl of mixed vegies and fruit for him. More often than not, he will only eat the grapes. Grapes and green apple are his fruits of choice so far.

I actually got him from a pet store. But not a traditional pet store. I believe he may be about 7 months old. I could be wrong though. His eyes are still very grey, but not the dark grey associated with very young greys. He has calmed down quite a bit, his scream is now reserved for when I attempt to bath him. More often than not, he now whistles, makes a knocking sound, and mimics pieces of conversation he has heard. Photos are on the way! One question though? He seems to love chicken bones...he shreds them and eats the marrow right out of them. Is this a good thing? Or should I refrain from giving him this treat?

Hey there Judy, I picked him up on a Sunday a few weeks ago. When I got him home he was perched on a chair while I assembled his cage. I had purchased a few toys, one being a stringer with some multi-colored planks of wood with beads separating the wood. He just attacked this thing...not in an aggressive way, but he did within the course of about 45 minutes reduce most of the toy into little shreds of wood. I was still unable to come to a name. Over the course of the first couple of days of him being in his new home, sometimes he was quite, but more often than not, he just made sounds like what I immagine a prehistoric terradactyl would make. Couple that with the many painfull bites to my fingers that it took to gain his trust, and so he became "Savage"!

Hey there everyone, My name is Brian, I am a new user to this forum. I recently came to be an owner of an African Grey. His name is Savage. He is adjusting rather well to his new enviroment, but hates taking a bath. He tends to let out this horrible screach anytime I try to get him wet.
