If she is actually swallowing, I would think that as long as it's standard copy paper it shouldn't be terribly bad for them (not that it's any good either). So, I dunno. You're right, I guess we need more info.

Shredding paper seems to be a favorite pastime of most greys I know...

My gut reaction is also a nose bleed but as the saying goes, better safe then sorry. Please keep us up to date.

It is amazing how quickly Schrodinger and I bonded, quite literally within hours of coming home we were starting to bond... With me she's a doll, with pretty much everyone else it's a different story... lol My brother and a friend of mine have both gotten some pretty nice bruises and other beak marks... :ohmy: She originally came with the name Sirius (or Sirus, there was some debate about the actual spelling/proninciation) from the adoption agency (Phoenix Landing). I knew I wanted a different name and eventually settled on Schrodinger (A Nobel Prize winning physicist and most popularly known for "Schrodinger's Cat".). In part I chose the name Schrodinger (she's become known as "Schrodie" for short) because it was closer sounding to her original name then Tchaikovsky! Plus, I felt it was an amusing choice of a name given the traditional bird/cat relationship (see Schrodinger's Cat). :lol: I've also been contemplating adopting a second cockatiel (whom would be named Tchaikovsky) in part as a companion to Mozart who is jealous as she no longer gets all the attention... But, my flock can't really grow too much more since I have limited space in my apartment... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erwin_Schr%C3%B6dinger http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schr%C3%B6dinger%27s_cat<br><br>Post edited by: Marauder, at: 2009/01/28 02:45

Here are some more pictures of her... http://gallery.uid-0.org/main.php?g2_itemId=1645

Howdy, it says "please introduce yourself", so here we go. :-) My name is Chris, I've had a cockatiel (Mozart) for the past five years and about four months ago adopted a wonderful six year old Grey whom I have renamed Schrodinger.
