Hi fmcc.
trancework has given you some very good advice. A change that fast is not normal so a checkup is needed.
I can`t add anything to the post as trancework has covered it very well.
Cricket can be in her favorite place on my shoulder, But when it`s time for bed it`s down from my shoulder to the floor and a walk across the floor to her cage, up the side, on to her perch and than she will YELL until you turn off the light and cover her cage and she dose not want to wait it`s NOW.
The little snot.
There are no stupid questions. At one time we were all new at this. That's why we have this forum to give a helping hand.
Some of us can remember that far back when we were new. I mean way way back.
Hello Kelly from Ohio and all her brats. Welcome to the grey forum.
I also have a flock of brats, One Congo grey, a blue fronted amazon and a cockatiel.
OH I am also a buckeye. N.E. Geauga county.
You have been given some great advice by our members and heard some great story`s also.
It all comes down to this. You and your grey must work together and form a bond and relationship for a happy life.
My grey picked us when she was a baby. We rehomed a 13 year old amazon with issues and they both turned out great.
Jay is right. Before Cricket I would never have considered a amazon as a companion parrot. the fact is, I had a fear of amazons.
Cricket was 13 when we rehomed her and I love her more than I ever thought I would. Our bond was fast and it is firm.
Would I ever take in a amazon again that needed a home ? In a heart beat.
This does not take anything away from my grey Corky, for I love her with all my heart.
Corky my grey is Corky and Cricket my zon is Cricket and Willie my cockatiel is Willie. They are who I am.
