My 7 month old grey does the same thing. she will make noises for my attention and hang on the cage door. when I go over to her, she'll start scooting away on her perch and I just tickle her and rough up her head and neck. she gives me play bites and leans down for scratchies. makes the funniest little noises when I wrestle with her on the perch she likes. she really enjoys it. Maybe you should try some tickling and touching more often

So cool. Greys are the best. =)

Haha that's great Kimkim =)

good for them!

Thanks, great story.

Completely not true. I've met people that have greys over 30 years old. Many people here have greys that age also. I guess it depends on healthy you can keep them. You were right in your first assumption.

Ohh his little chest just looks awful. =( I hope that he may pick up non plucking habits from the new greys. good luck

Also don't think that looking under the tail is 'stupidity'. It is good for them to get used to you handling them all over their body. What you did was fine, and their will be accidents with dropping and him falling to the floor, all will be ok. =)

I saw your pictures and noticed the wooden perches in the cage. My little girl couldn't stand on those very well at all , they were too slick. She would always lose grip and fall off. After covering them in vet-wrap she can climb on them very quickly and much more safely and doesn't fall off them.

give it some time. you are still new to him. just keep offering treats every once in a while and talking to him. I'm sure everything will be fine

Crusher is awesome, I love those dogs. can't remember the breed though. I agree that your schedule and love for animals would have no trouble with a Grey in the house. and welcome

Keep at it, I think you will find her. good luck

How long have you had him? Mine did this for about the first week I had her (trying to get out, digging) but soon she stopped both behaviors altogether. She was 3 months old at the time, and that was 2 months ago. I suppose you just have to put him back and teach him that when you put him away, he needs to occupy himself with his toys/food/etc. good luck with your Grey.. sounds like a lot of fun with your flighted CAG. Mine was clipped when I bought her unfortunately.

sounds like she got them from Exotic Wood Dreams. I assume it is a toy site

In addition be sure to hand out and put up fliers around the local schools.. you know how well children see things, and will be doubly sure to look if there's a reward mentioned. good luck

heck, I even believed it when I first saw it. definitely well done

You should look into Mike's manna mash.. this week I will be trying my hand at making a variation of the recipe, Shanlung's own Tinkerbell mash. very healthy and a large batch should last quite a while in the freezer. a quick google "shanlung tinkerbell mash" will show you what I'm trying out. good luck =>

It is a very cool video, BUT.. .. hate to disappoint, it was actually and ad for Ray Ban sunglasses. Chameleons can't change colors that quickly, or in that many spectrums. They change mostly in dark greens and browns. =( I know I was fooled by this a while back.

As far as I know, birds are unable to "hold it" like other animals. Surely your Grey will go in it's cage if it has no other choice, I don't think it's possible for them not to.

Sounds like he is stretching his wings. Is he lifting one wing at a time, standing on one foot balancing, and then the other? That is perfectly normal, and also cute. =)

These were so great! Dayo is certainly an amazing bird. love the videos

thanks, i'll definitely be looking into this =)

Haha, it's like she's trying to bathe in a teacup!

Maybe there is something inside the cage that he doesn't like or is afraid of?
