AHHHH The life adventures of Cocoa. She looks like she enjoys all of your trips and adventures

I was thinking percent in rescue.

Did you know that there are 11 million pet parrots in the United States.

Hi Ronald Byrd ane welcome to the grey forum to you and your new friend and companion. You said you just picked him up on Sunday. This will be IMO you should give him time to settle in and get to know his new home, get to know you and the things around him. Take some time to build a relationship and trust. They will respond to you much better when they feel comfortable with you and their new home. I do beleve step up is one of the most important things they should know. As far as the cage that is their safe place and some greys are cage aggressive untill they know you. I am not a fan of ciicker training, but that`s ok because a lot of people are. IMO relationship first training secound. P.S. IMO clip wings no nails yes beak check with vet.

Il love the pictures of Miss. Chickie, She looks so sweet. I remember when Corky was 6 months old. Now she is a eleven tear old brat.

Just hang in there Eahana, there is a grey out there for you, and he /she will be special.

It is very hard to stay one step ahead of a grey. I have been trying for eleven years.

The first flight is a sign they are almost ready to come home

I have been rescarching the grey forums archives to find as many of the special amazons of the grey forums as I can and place them on the Honored Amazons of the grey forum list. So far I have found 21 amazons that are members of this forum and they cover 10 species of amazons. I would like our zons to take their place in the amazon room and their place on the grey forum. The amazons are proud of there place on this forum and we would like all the members to know. If you know a zon that I have missed please let me know the zon name care giver and the species. Thanks Ray

Sylia is a great looking grey.

Great pictures and I love the one with Slater and Chili Pepper.

She looks great !!!

How good is your zons memory ?? I would like to share a story about Cricket my Blue Fronted Amazon when she did something strange. Cricket belonged to my wifes sister who lived in Florida along with her brother who lived not far away from his sister so they would visit often. My wifes brother moved from Florida to W.V. and he knew we rehomed Cricket. He came up to visit us and he told us how bad Cricket was and did not beleve me when I told him how good Cricket was. OK to show him how wrong he was I brought Cricket out and sat at the kitchen table with Cricket on my shoulder and she was rubbing her head on my neck and ear, and than she saw my wifes brother. When she saw him she came off my shoulder, climbed down my arm , ran across the table to my wifes brother and bit the crap out of his thumb , blood every place and than she ran back to me and up my arn to my shoulder and sat there like nothing happened I beleve she remembers him from Florida and that he was not very nice to her along with his sisters 4 kids. Thats the way to go Cricket you got them back. She has been with me for over 3 years and that was the one and only time she did that.

Baby greys are awesome !!! Love your pictures !!!

Happy hatch day Val and heres to many many more.

Jealousy is not just a grey thing. I have seen and see jealousy in my amazon and in my cockatiels to. What worked for me is when I would get nipped by my grey when around my other birds she would go back to her cage for the nip but I did not stop haveing her out with me when around the other birds. It`s nip and back to cage, nip back to cage, and each time I said no bite. After a short time she stoped the nip because she went back to her cage for the nip and not because of being around the other birds. The one thing is you don`t want your grey to resent the other birds because your around them but to stop the nipping. This worked for all my fids. My grey, amazon and cockatiels are all shoulder birds so it`s important that they know the rules when they are out and or on my shoulder.

Hi Julia, Sylia and family, Welcome to the grey forum. Sylia looks great and I love your avatar.

1. Understanding, For when they have an off day. 2. Forgiveness, For when they destroy something of value. 3. Patiences, For when they have a mind of their own. 4. Devotion, So they know you care. 5. Commitment, So they know you will always be there. This goes for all our fids.
