Thanks Mistyparrot, will tell my family straight away. Luckily she's doing well and nothing went wrong. Will keep that in mind . Good to hear that it is usual thing for parrots to have jealousy. Thank you.

Hello everyone, I've been away from this website for a really long long time. I just thought of giving you an update of my lovely parrot, Aoodi, if you remember her . Aoodi now has been really enjoying herself home. She started to play all time, eat almost every healthy food - sometimes unhealthy - but generally she is doing really well. Here is a recent picture of her in the kitchen: Since my family and I started to really bond with her, somethings are decided to be done. Now Aoodi has her flying feathers back - I know it is such a risky move but she is really enjoying it - and she is allowed to fly around the house. She is no longer kept in a cage, my whole room is like her cage , because I'm now studying abroad and my room is no longer used. When my mother wakes up in the morning, she opens the room's door for her so she can fly around the house and play a little in my little brother's playing room etc. Sometimes she refuse to get into an cage, but when put in one, she acts normal - sometimes she does like a bull charging towards it's victim or once she acted dead was REALLY REALLY scary moment. Silly Aoodi . Another picture for her plying with Kinder Surprise eggs: She now enjoys weird things, like 2 months ago, my mother sent me a picture of Aoodi drinking tea - no clue if it is okay or not to be honest, but nothing really happened to her till now. Also, she loves to sit with us while eating our meals and luckily we have a table of 6 person and we are 5, so the 6th chair will be hers - full family, don't you think? Sometimes she eats some of the food we eat, and mostly my mother makes her vegetables dish or fruits. But what's really weird is, she really LOVES french fries!! She remove the crust and devour what's inside, the fluffy parts .. and she holds the chips in a funny way - have to take a picture of her doing that . She also likes chocolate. Once she suddenly stopped making any noises so we went to see what she's doing, we found out that she spotted a pack of chocolate bars and started to eat like crazy .. She started really to hunt that unusual food. Here is a link of her in my facebook page playing around with a ball in my room - sorry for the bad quality and that I couldn't upload the video to photobucket: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10151383837714913&l=132889531032062802 There are many funny things she started to do. One of them is that when she gets annoyed of someone she says " Go away", " Come on, go away" few times, if you don't obey her , she will fly and try to hunt to like an eagle - hehe - first time I saw that I kept laughing really hard. Here is another link of her kicking my little brother out of my bed - well, her bed, since I'm away and no longer use it : https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10151399179169913&l=7233686127199586281 But sometimes she does really awkward stuff. For example, if guests came home and the house door and being used a lot, we close her room's door to keep her safe. After that she really gets angry, she stop eating, talking, and refuse to communicate with us. But few hours and she gets back to normal. Also, she kind of gets jealous of anyone getting close to me or my mum - since my mother and I are her best . For instance, when my little brother hugs my mum in front of Aoodi, she will fly and start biting my brother, no clue why :confused:. Is it normal? Also, my sister bought love birds few months ago, Aoodi really gets annoyed when hearing their voices, she will try to track where that voice is coming from and start knocking at the room's door where the birds are. Once my sister forgot her door opened, and Aoodi got in. She flew straight away to the birds cage and stood above it. Then she started saying "Come closer, come". Somehow one of the bird came closer and suddenly Aoodi tried to catch it with her beak. It was terrifying moment . We took her and put her back in her room, luckily nothing bad happened. Is it normal too :confused:? Here is another picture of her posing infront of the camera : Generally she is doing great, she takes 2 showers a week and she enjoys it. She sleeps well, around 8 hours a day, with a nap in the afternoon she always take herself. She is a spoilt parrot, playful, cheering, healthy, really talkative nowadays and looking soo beautiful . I guess I summarised everything - I might forgot some, apologies for that. Sorry for this long post and if there are some English grammar mistakes or spellings . Thank you, this website was the start of every great thing Aoodi is having now. Thank you all lots!!! Hattan

Hmm.. Aoodi also tries to chew our cockatiels. But I always keep them away from each other, since one bite from Aoodi can take off a cockatiel's leg or something.

Thank you Jayd. Now I should be careful while Aoodi is on my shoulder and me going out with her without an Aviator Harness.

We all know that parrots get bored so fast; Specially greys... But it seems that Aoodi doesn't like to play with her toys.. Why? Is it something I should be worrying about? I know she needs to feel comfortable to play with them... But the toys are with her for almost 7-8 months. She touches them.. But she never ever plays and have fun with them. Thank you.

Oh.. Good that I asked ... Thank you Dave

I'm just wondering is milk good for greys? Thank you

I've looked for the wrap vet and didn't find it... So I went to the pharmacy and bought this: Is it good to cover the play stand? Its the one we human use it when injured Thank you

I know I have to be patient about grey's talking. But I always and always repeat "Hello" to Aoodi and she never tries to say it, its been like 1 month or more since I started this thing. Aoodi doesn't know any words till now. I'm wondering why? And is there another way better than repeating? Thank you... Hbalkhi

Alright... I looked for Vet wrap where you told me, and they don't use it ... they use the white one only.... So maybe there is another thing I can cover the playstand with?

Hello, I'm making a playstand for Aoodi these days. Its almost finished but... no Vet Warp . I looked for Vet Warp in my area and found none. Asked other places far from me, also none are found. So I guess I'll just use clothes to cover it... Anyone have another idea??

Yeah. I'm planning to, but I came from work today and saw her on it . It seems the playstand is attractive for her. Thanks for your caring.

Hello there, Here are some pictures of Aoodi: Here she's exploring the room, she wants to be an explorer. In the morning after she's awake... Here, she is trying her playstand for the first time :cool: ... She looks a happy with it. :rolleyes: Walking around on the playstand. And by the way... I really thank who made the idea of these playstands, they're very great. Mine still under construction.. Thank you for watching.

What a lovely bird you have! Wish you both the best But becareful not to make her play World of Warcraft a lot

Hello there Some of my family members are going to Fort Collins, Colorado, USA. So I'm just wondering if anyone knows a toys shop near to where they're going to, so i can tell them to go there and buy for Aoodi some toys. Thank you

Oh, good. Was really worried . Thank you.

Well...Yes. Everyday she's having new kinds of vegetables. But I noticed the change after I gave her little amount of corns, after the corns the color just changes almost from every poop to another

Hello, I guess that the normal poop color should be some green string, some white paste and clear fluid. (as I remember from Jayd's post). The few last days, Aoodi's poop color changed to little dark brownish, light brownish or even sometimes light green. I don't know what's happening, does the color of poop tells of something wrong, or its just normal thing to change from time to time? :confused: Thank you.

Do they have any kind of feeling O_o?? Really sad thing to see this.....

I'm trying to make Aoodi eats her vegetables and fruits, but she don't eat what makes her gets enough from eating. And she stay hungry. And when I serve her seeds she just eat and eat and eat like crazy... And she also watch me when I'm putting something in the pallet, and makes sounds and want come to me, but when she knows its not seeds she just get back and stay away. What should I do? Some people told me leave her. And when she feels really hungry she'll have to eat her vegetables and fruits and then she'll get used to it. Is it right? I can be patient until she gets used to vegetables and fruits. But seeing her hungry letting me feel horrible....

I was looking for parrots health and saw weights problems. How can I know the weight of my parrot?

I was really scared. I'll check her from time to another and update you if something more happened. Thank you..

I just got back from outside, and found Aoodi sleeping, but my sister told me about a feather Aoodi plucked it from her body and started to chew it. Here's some pictures for the feather: Is it feather plucking :confused:? Thank you

I was searching for a good grey's diet. So I found this website: http://www.african-grey-parrots.co.uk/parrot-articles/african-grey-parrot-diet.html But, it have some vegetables that is not good vegetables for greys in other websites. For that, I wanted to ask you, people who knows what we should give for our greys. I'm don't have much experience to say its good diet or not. Hope this link helps others too. Thank you

Well.... If you remember Toy Story, the cartoon show. That cowboy called " Woody ", and I like Woody. So I just changed to from Woody to Aoodi.
