Oh my... I wish you all the best in this situation. My heart goes out to you. I hope everything works out so that you can keep contact and get your Greys back. Cristen

I think it's ok as long as your bird understands and listens to you when you ask to: Step up, Step down, as well as he should have to follow the rules of NO nibbling, playing with jewelry, clothes, ears etc. I allow Dalia on my shoulder, She is there as I type this... Only because she listens and follows through when I ask her to step up. Also follows the "rules". She knows she is not supposed to be playing with my earing or ear etc but, she breaks the rules once in while. She is then taken down from my shoulder and placed in my lap or on her playstand. So It really is up to you though and has a lot to do with wether or not you feel comfortable having your Grey there. B) Cristen

Your big baby DYH is a BOY.... thats wonderful:P I just think he is adorable too, I think I said before But He really is, Stunning. Me and Dalia (CAG) are the only girls in our house, Well that is until we find out what TG ( my sparrow ) is... Fe more weeks and we shall find out. Cristen

My goodness...What a great feeling that must have given you all. Im so happy that lil one is growing and getting strong. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

WOW! WHAT A SMARTY! you will have to be so Careful now and maybe add a lock!! It should take her a while to get a key cut!! hahaha...{Feel-good-0002006E}

Oh Char.... What a special day for you... Whisper really does love you. Most hope to never have been puked on....but us bird lovers wish for that day....Ahhhh LOL {Love-0002011E}

HI there, you have a Beautiful Trio of Birds and Lovely pair of kitties! Welcome! I know you will love this forum and everyone in it... Cristen:)

Dave007 has beat me to adding a video.... I may still post one later tonite just so you can hear her and the sounds she makes too.....

I have to say that when I watched the video I was in shock at first as I was expecting a VERY LOUD noise and heard this little chirp instead. I think the fact that this chirp annoys you that bad and the fact that your poor birdie is plucking his little feathers out is a sign that maybe you should be asking yourself: Am I really cut out to be a bird owner. You should be on this wonderful forum asking for help about why does my grey pluck?? As it is not a good thing at all and shows you that something is lacking in the diet or he is suffering somehow mentally. I agree that your grey should get out of that cage more for longer periods and from the video angle the cage you have does not look very big at all....I could be wrong about the cage?? When I get home I am going to show you a video of My Grey Dalia and how she sounds... amongst all of my other fids... Maybe then you will appreciate the little chirp that your grey makes and will realize that, that is what bird do they sing, chirp, and learn new sounds all of the time. Sorry if this offends you or anyone but this post really upsets me.

Hahaha This is a cut story for sure....LOVE the pictures that go along with the story....Very Pretty Fids!

Awwwwwwwe! Im so Happy for you BOTH! You must be SO SO SO proud of your grey.... Cristen

Welcome to the Forum... You sound a like a GreYt mommie to your wonderful Grey. WE would love to see some pictures of your little beauty. Cristen

Awe isnt that a cute story! It could have been bad in so many ways but, what a good birdie!! Cristen

I like Flat top cages with the Playtop. I think Playtops are GreYt. If you go with no playtop I still think that flat top cages are better. More space and places to hang toys and place perches. Cristen

WOW! CONGRATS! You will be a busy man cleaning up all that mess made for just YOU by your MessMakers.... lol But you will enjoy all of them so much..I should know I have MBS as well and now have 6 Fids! I love them all and they are a part of the family. Cristen
