Thanks for the advise:woohoo: . I leave him some paper to chew from time to time...i noticed he loves doing that. I also noticed that he is very friendly with my female friends when they come over:evil: . He even says hello to them...and even kisses them!!! I had no clue the little monkey knows how to kiss! lol... i think there is something about me that bothers him:dry: . I am guessing i was the one who took him away from his previous owner...or i just look scary! lol... The picture i have now is what his previous owner sent me. I have some stuff in his cage to play with. Good catch however...i never noticed the cage was empty. I will keep you updated on how he is doing. Thanks for all the advise. :laugh:

Thanks for all your support. I have had him for just over 10 days now. I will give him more time, and if need be, i will take him for a vet check. I will read more on this website to see what I can find. I really like this site. Many thanks to its creator. Miki

Hi :laugh: My name is Miki and I just bought myself an african grey. I call him Gary. I live out in the country side in northern Ontario. I have had parrots before, and they were very friendly and noisy. Gary is very quiet, does not say a single word all day or make any noise, and he shakes when i get close to him. He also bits really hard when i get my fingers near him. All i can do is to get a piece of wood close to him, and he would go on it. That is how i take him in and out of the cage. He does not eat anything from my hand, so i can not really train him . I am just not impressed because i am getting the feeling that the poor bird was abused:angry: . I was told he is only 18 months old. That is about all I can say about my bird and myself. I guess i am here hoping to talk to someone who can help me train my little guy.:dry: Thanks to all, Miki...
