Ziggy2011

ohhhh thats pretty cool. Thanks I'm actually going to try that right now, cause he's trying to eat my remotes lol thanks for the tip

oh i've gt a lot of stories when it comes to Ziggy but I will definately love to share some. lol I'm going to bu posting up some pics of Ziggy and Marley(my jenday) hope you guys enjoy!!!

@Lovethatgrey Well usually when i'm putting Ziggy to sleep the lights are dimmed so my 2 floor lamps are on then the cage gets covered half way meaning the back is covered and he can still see me while im seeing about my jenday and putting him asleep. Ziggy will talk and whistle then as soon as i'm about to fully cover the front of the cage he goes onto his perch or sometimes he's still playing but he's never in complete darkness my kitchen light is always on. I do have the rope perches that you mentioned I have 2 of those in his cage and 2 of the cement perches for his nails. He's got his favourite swing which the one in my avatar.

Lol No I don't fed him sugar but he's like a very hyper kid that is on sugar lol I waswarned that he will be active but not to this extent, where I literally have to hide everything so he doesn't destroy it.AND making it even worst is if he sees where I hide my stuff he'll go and try to get it. I'm a little scared to give him like chewing toys or wood stuff, what if eats it? and what if he chocks on it? also he's into foot toys I usually buy a bunch of small foot toys for him to play wit, but what are somethings I can probably make at home for him? thanks

Hi Everyone!! Thank you for the replies and an amazing welcoming. I will be sure to keep you guys posted with Ziggy and I will definately be adding some more pics. Hope everyone has a blessed day.

Hello all! I have a jenday conure who is just over a year old and I need help stopping him from screaming!!! It's getting to the point where I have to sneak around my apartment so he doesn't spot me lol I'm getting complaints from neighbours and I don't know what to do, I've tried ignoring him when he does scream but it doesn't work, I've done the whole covering his cage for a few minutes but as soon as I uncover him it starts again. What do I do??????????

Hi, I was reading through some posts and I saw yours, and seeing Im not that far from once having a 3 week congo. When I had my congo I actually keep him in a shoe box with paper towel because he wasnt strong enough to perch on his own and slept right beside me on my night stand lol. But when he started sleeping in his cage, I usually just tell him "nite nite, sleep time" and he'll still be swinging around or hanging around whistling or whatever but i'm guessing he understand that when his cage gets covered and the lights go off and I put the radio on for him lol he eventually settles down then goes to bed, which then becomes routine. Also when Ziggy was just beginning to sleep in his cage for like the first month or so he use to sleep weird lol meaning hang off the perch like he was going to fall off so maybe it's just something they do as babies. And another helpful tip would be to line the flooring pretty cusiony with like paper towel then some news paper on top, if your african is that young, cause the last thing you want is for them to climb up and fall down and hurt themselves, you can also keep the perch low until your african gets older. And birds just like you and I we move around in our sleep so will birds, but I don't think you have much to worry about. Hopefully I've helped

Hi Everyone! My name is Lisa, and I have a Congo African Grey. He is 8 months old and I have had him since he was a month old. His name is Ziggy and I love him! lol Ive grown up with birds basically all my life from canaries, budgies, love birds and cockatiels that are now 17yrs old!!!! I currently have a Jenday which turned 1yrs old in Nov and my african grey. They get along great and just cant part from each other. As much as hes learning im learning right beside him. Im trying to understand his behaviour but its hard and I think Pjs is probably fed up of me calling them all the time lol. So im hoping that by me joining the forum helps me a lot and maybe I can help someone too. Any help or advice we get, Ziggy and I will appreciate it lol

Hello Everyone! Im kind of new at this whole bloggling or posting thing lol. But im having some issues with my african grey. He is a Congo and hes roughly 8months old. Hes been hand fed by me i brought him home at a month old. His name is Ziggy and the love of my life:). Thats just a lil intro on him, but my problem is his behaviour. Hes on a lot of sugar or something. Hes so hyper meaning, flying all over the place destroying everything, playing in my fish tanks, eating my plants, to biting my walls lol He flies onto my head and hangs off of my hair ummmm hes just very overly active and im curious to know if this is common in all african greys or is it just mine. Hes a very sweet bird loves to cuddle and give kisses, he sings in the morning and is amazing but hes just a lil trouble maker. So im hoping its not him acting out on something I have done. He is my first parrot well african grey, I have a jenday but they get along great. Please help me in taming this cute beast lol
