  1. I would of purchase it only at a bargin. However, it looks neat and different.........
  2. I just read this post and I am So sorry...
  3. Wow what a beautiful Parrot reminds me of Sunny when that age....
  4. [Originally Posted by Greywings I only offer pellets once in a while just so they recognize it as feed in an emergency-not a fan of fake food.] I agree I use Pretty Boy once in a while....
  5. This is an awsome story almost like mine. Never loose HOPE...............
  6. Great looking chicken they are amazing I used to own a few myself. I just Love birds.........
  7. I never ask him to step up or come on top of me, he just comes towards me if he is out of the cage and I happen to be standing in the same room. If I am sitting on the sofa he usually does not come to me. It is only when I am standing or near his cage. Here is where I usually duck b/c I don't trust him as I mentioned I have been bit by him already and I did not deserve that. I talk to him when he is in his cage softly which I know he listens and mimics me later on. That is about the only relationship I have with him. When my husband is home is usually when he is let out and that's when he does those things to me. My husband is almost always in the same room with me. I wear my hair down and once in while I have it in a pony tail. I have given him treats directly from my hand; for example, there are these particular peanuts I love to eat and he loves them too, so here is where he started coming to me and I would feed him the peanuts directly from my hands while talking to him, but when I don't have these peanuts he trys to come towards me and after getting bit I don't want him coming to me. I feel at this point he should really know us by now and be use to us so I don't understanding why he would like to bite. I do feel at times that he is trying to overpower me or dominate me but I'm not even saying anything to him for him to do this to me. In other words, I have never been mean to this bird. I trying really hard to understand but I'm not appreciating this bird's behavior
  8. My husband has an African grey and to my knowledge greys only attach themselves to one owner. Quite frankly, I am a little afraid of the bird b/c he pecks alot, more like bites. I do talk to him alot gently while he is in the cage and when my husband is not around and he tends to mimic my voice at times. When my husband lets him out of the cage and I happen to be in the room, he usually tries to come on top of me. I feel at times he wants to attack me, so I usually duck (I already got hurt b/c of this and landed up in emergency...long story but really no big deal). I have stretched out my hand so he can come on me, but the last time I did that he bit my hand and made me bleed. So that is why I am ducking more now. I don't know what else to make of this bird. He either likes me or he doesn't and since he is not my bird, I don't really know how to live with him in peace. Can anyone offer any wisdom in how to deal with this situation? I am using my husband's account.Thanks.
  9. Yes, Thanks so much I just experieced what you said. I opend the door of his cage and he flew to my shoulder and he wanted me to pet him . I just have to be patience. Thanks again....
  10. Quick help for any one that has good training skills or just can help! Sunny he thinks I am going to hurt him. Lately I have been trying to get him out of the cage but he seems fearful. Once I get him out he perches on my hand then immediately he flies away from me like if I was going to hurt him and sometimes he gives me a warning. He also makes that scare scream like while he’s on my hand. I hope explained this issue in the matter that you understand. Thanks in advance….
  11. Thanks Laurit for your honesty about the price - I paid over $9.00 for this item I want someone to benefit from it and if it does not sell I will keep it. Thanks again
