I do not use recall training. Corky my Congo Grey is always flying to me weather I want her to or not and Cricket my Blue Fronted Amazon won`t leave my side. There are many systems used to train birds and other pets and clicker training is just one. You have to find one that works best for you and your bird. I never use food to reward good behavior I likke to use affection as a reward for behavior. That way their not good just to get treat. Treat rewards are good for many other things and as a bribe. This is just ment to be some input for you and some of it is IMO. Good luck with your training.

The joy that a grey or any parrot for that matter can bring to your life is not understood by most humans. You have to take the time to enjoy what they are. Your videos tell me about your love for your fids and the time you take to enjoy them. I always look for your post to see some of things you do with your birds and places you go and the things you do. As always your post and videos are outstanding. I will look for your next adventure.

Remember a grey is very smart and like a two year old that wants something and when they don`t get it they pout.

Hi carlsjr and welcome to the forum. WOW late Nov. is a long time to wait. Do you have other birds or is this your first parrot ???

The beak grinding is sign that he is contentand and relaxed. When he climbs around his cage he may want out to be with you.

Sounds like you and Jess are off to a good start. We do need some pictures.

I enjoyed your video very much. Your grey zidane looked like she had fun too.

Some times you don`t have the the place to do a true quarantine but you do the best you can. I think every member here understands this and with vet checks to make sure your new bird is ok and your flock you have has had vet checks. This seams to work for most of us. Also knowing were your bird is comming from is a help.(A one bird home that had no other birds and the bird was there for years) with vet check

Good looking flock and the videos were great. Cna`t wait to see your grey Zidane.

Birds and nature. you have some great vedios of Cocoa and your tiels in the all outdoors. Just love them all.

It was the out side birds that started me with my cocktiels 40 years ago and I have had tiels all those years and than I moved up to a grey and than a amazon peacocks chickens and we have had lovebirds and keets. The wife and I love to watch our ducks swim in the pond. We also have bird feeders out side our window that hold 25# of bird feed each so we always have wild birds all year round. We just love it.

My CAG Corky never said her first word untill she was 24 months old and now I can`t get her to stop. Must be the woman in her.

And they say that greys are picky eaters, At least at stuff you want them to eat. I think this is something we have all gone through at one time or anouther. My grey Corky will eat all the stuff you don`t want her to and none of the stuff you want her to.

Great pictures of your flock and they all look great.

Great pictures of Dayo and I love the great smoky moountains.

looks goood !!

Welcome back and we hope you can stay for a spell.

Hi Kim and welcome to the forum. I do hope you find the grey of your dreams.

Oh those hours before they come home are long. And yes pictured please

Hi prettyBird and welcome to the forum. When you get your african grey your life is going to change and change for the better I may add. Also we would love to see pictures of your flock.

Ship The wind was high And the sales were full. And all the men. Aboard the ship. Knew it was moving. At a pretty good clip. Flop

The last two pictures and secound video with Audi and Cocoa I just loved. They love the outdoors.

Hi parrot14 and welcome to the forum. Oh your english is fine. It sounds like you are doing just fine with Zidane. OH we love pictures.

Moments are never dull when you live with a grey.

I would go with the family vacation. You are in a bank when a gunman comes in to hold up the bank. He does not see you because of your location in the bank. 1. Would you stay hidden untill it was over ? 2. Let him know you are there so he does not shout you in case he spots you in the bank/ 3. Try to sneak out to get help. 4. Sneak to a phone in the bank and call for help ?
