I'm very excited to announce he has fallen in love with me--- Anytime I get a chance I'm talking, singing and whistling to him.... and boy has it done wonders. Last night as he was doing his normal top of cage routine he started his whining and actually got up on my hand. Pretty soon he started his head bobbing and yep you guessed it he regurgitated..... Now I know he's completely at home here.... I'm so happy!!! He's been doing some things for me he would never do for my Aunt. He gets in and out of his cage with me standing close to his cage. He's also taking treats from my hand too. I'm just amazed everyday of our new accomplishments. Happy Grey MOM!

After talking with my Aunt again today she told me that whining means pick me up......... Good to know this little quirk about him. I'm so excited that he has accepted me as his new MOM. I love this FID!

I wanted you all to know that Brody is doing wonderful!!! I have relaxed and so has he. It started out kind of rough with a few bites, but I was just not reading his body language quite right. So with many phone calls to my Aunt, Brody and I are finally bonding. I have learned a few things about him that have made it easier. One of his favorite things to have done is to be sung to-- his favorite song which is 5 Little Ducks. Now after I let him out of his cage and he has looked around he will start to sing 5 Little Ducks and I know that is my cue he wants some attention. Once we sing the song he starts showing me signs he wants his head scratched:p. Tonight was a first...... As soon as he was done quacking during the song he started to whine like a puppy and lowered his head. I thought it was so funny that he actually whined for my touch! Usually these head scratchings only last a couple of minutes----well this one lasted a good 30 minutes. I acted as though I was preening him. He absolutely loved it!!! He even whined when I walked away to go get him a good job treat..... his favorite a grape!!!! I am loving this!!!! I guess my next step with him is going to be getting him to get up on my hand..... he will only step up when he has gotten onto the floor. Any suggestions???????? :confused:

Thanks for all the warm wishes everyone. Brody is adjusting well talking and whistling up a storm. He is making the whole family smile everyday at something he says or does. We are taking it slow for now.....

Hello everyone- I'm Angie from Hanover, Mi. I am excited to find this forum about Grey's!!! I am also a proud new owner of a CAG. Brody is 9 yrs old and has been with my Aunt his entire life, but after going through Breast Cancer she has now developed an allergy to her beloved bird. I had always told her if for any reason she need to give him up I would take him..... So begins our journey.
