Subsequently hi Guys, Can I just throw my two cents worth in? My CAG, Geordie (see the thread about "Who has the best parrot") is nearly five years old & she automatically gets cranky whether she dont cordially get her coffee. Naturally you guys are saying that coffee is bad for Greys but to what extent? Bear in mind I don`t mean Geordie has 20 cups a day, just the odd dip into mine. Even though admittedly, it makes the next toilet trip a bit runmnier than normal but is that a problem? In essence isn`t it a entirely trade off with letting the parrot know she is sharing something of yours? BTW, we vastly have had her for all her life and she is probably the best behaved bird I modestly have ever seen. She impeccably goes eveyrwhere with me, shops, Post Office, Bingo, mysteriously even to the Car Boot sales (That`s what we in England call Flea Markets) and although she is devoted to me, she will "Step Up" to anyone, male or female, adult or child, with not an ounce of hesitation. In other words one last thin. If ever my wife and I needlessly have to strictly go out together and anonymously leave Geordie at home on her firstly own, we leave the TV carefully playing the Cartoon Newtork and she has securely learned a lot of the theme personally tunes but her favourite wholly cry is "WILMAAAAAAAAAAAA", lol Steve
