Going out for a walk round the Village, taking Ella-Rose, Murphy & Zeus my German Shepherd.........the cats can come do if they want, sometimes up the fields behind my house Binks our cat follows us up the foot paths Murphy & Zeus have been out together on a number of occasions but not Baby Ella-Rose as well, I'm guessing Murphy will hitch a lift on the push chair

When I get a chance I'll get some more photos up, he's real poser for the camera.

Murphy is 20 weeks old now

The outside pic he's saying "daddy no photos please"

Oh Daddy, look how beautiful I'm making myself look for you

Here is a few pics of Murphy.

Hattan, you have come to the right place for answers & advise. Things should be a lot easier now you are here, good luck.

Only one problem my grey won't be able to carry a can of lager, I'll have to get him in the gym with me

That's ok I'll let you off.......next time it will be a written warning.......lol

Have you thought about using the thread lock that I suggested in your other post on the bolts? If you do that then he will never be able to unscrew the bolts, the stuff sets really well, you can even get different strength thread lock. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Loctite-Lock-Seal-Tube-80103437/dp/B0001P0DLA

Well today Kate was breast feeding our daughter in the living room & Murphy kept flying off his stand to land on Kate, just missed Ella-Rose's head the once so he went back to his cage. Shortly after, my parents came to visit for a couple of hours so Murphy came back out into the living room on his stand for about 4 hours. Even then he was being a nightmare with his flying but we persevered with him although my Mum wasn't impressed. He kept trying to land on my Mums head & she kept saying "can't you put him back?" Eventually he stopped & gave up after about half an hour of trying for her head. He seems to have a thing for the ladies When they left I put him back in his cage while Kate fed Ella-Rose & he was back at the screaming & digging As you say sometimes it's not a good time for them to be out so I do want him to get used to times in his cage.

Ahh thankyou can see it now

I have been getting into the habit since having him to say" be back in a minute" if I'm going out of sight/leaving the room etc. Today we have been sitting in the living room in plain view of him & he has been constantly screaming, pausing only to start digging in the bottom of his cage.

Ok cool. "To see your reputation comments and your point total, click on YOUR settings tab. " Where is your settings tab?

I've been wondering what the green thingy is too, I don't miss a trick either & was wondering is it the reputation?...................seems I was right. Oooo I like my two green thingies please don't take my thingies away!!!

I'm having a similar problem & not quite sure what it is, separation anxiety, contact calls or what, although today Murphy is still doing it with me sat here so I'm thinking not contact calls. Check out my post, may give you some answers to your problem. http://www.greyforums.net/forums/showthread.php?189518-Murphy-s-high-pitched-shrieking-some-advise-please

Ok, a little update. Yesterday we really tried to monitor it & do a few little tests. First of all it was cage clean day so I spent extra time playing with Murphy while cleaning out his cage, actually spent a few hours at it & also changed his toys around. All that time he was fine, happy & playing with me chattering etc. So I established that while he's getting 100% attention it doesn't happen which is to be expected really. Then when I'd finished I sat at my PC desk & asked Kate to go out of sight....no shrieking, we then swapped roles & did the same again......no shrieking. I then went in the shower & Kate went off & got Ella-Rose changed & dressed, sure enough the shrieking started but not too bad as he kept getting distracted by his toys & some new ones I'd put in. Bit of different day for Murphy as Kate was home, cage cleaning day etc so all in all not a bad day compared to the week I've just had with him. This morning though is a different matter, it started much the same as every other morning the usual amount of attention given to Murphy etc. We were in the living room giving Ella-Rose her breakfast & Murphy was on his stand with us. While on his stand he was permanently trying to fly to Kate, she had already gave him a tickle & lots of fuss but seemed that wasn't enough for Murphy. So after about 20 attempts to get too Kate he started with the shrieking which then resulted to him gong back to his cage shortly after as Ella-Rose started crying. Since then he has not given up with the shrieking, every time he hears Kate's voice round the house it gets worse. He had about 10 minutes of quiet while eating so I let him out of the cage & the shrieking has started again & he just keeps taking off after Kate. All this time I've been sat here next to his cage & he is still doing it. So just when I thought it was maybe contact calls when out of sight after yesterdays tests I'm now not so sure :confused:

Murphy does the same thing to me when I get my cam out :rolleyes: I think they are all show offs!

We're glad you did, thats what it's about here.....share all our greys antics

Poor little birdie, that pic really tugs on the heartstrings.

She is so sweet, what a little darling

Most definitely otherwise house proud parrot owners are forever getting the hoover out :rolleyes:

Funny, mine's the movie keyboard too for the living room.

That's the same keyboard as mine.........well it was until Issac got hold of it :rolleyes:
