awwww how totally sweet! they are so smart I tell ya !!!!!! she amazes me everyyyyyyy day

oooo thats a greattttt name .... and one that hasnt been suggested before! LOL I Hope they arent TOOOOO naughty! But he has alot of time with Marco so I know hes gonna be a GREATTTTTT Parront!

Marco has been saying peek a boo for awhile now but lately, shes reallllllly gotten into it. I usually duck my head down where she cant see me when shes ontop of her cage then bounce up really face and say PEEK A BOO then duck back down. Course we do this for several minutes. Well the other day I caught Marco actually do the head motion, she lowers her head then springs up and says peek a boo .... I couldnt believe it :-O :-O :-O

Soooooooooo this is my friends new little baby ..... he/she is 8weeks old and can't come home for atleast another 4 weeks. The DNA has been done but results aren't in yet. We are trying to find a great name for them .... any ideas would be appreciated!!!!!

lol @ staying on the one month she is featured in for the whole year LOLOL .... probably so :-o I haven't heard the winner announced I should email the lady and find out.

Im Soooo very excited. Marco has been entered into a calendar contest that is locally put on at a bird store here. After talking to the owner and organizer of the contest she said "make no mistake your bird will appear in the calendar". The winner however (for the front cover) has yet to be announced that will be Oct. 11th. So keep your fingers crossed :D Miss Marco wins. Im so excited I cant see straight! I have already pre-ordered like 10 copies ... guess what everyones getting for Christmas? LOL

anytime I spray, like I had to for huge spider problem twice this summer I took marco out of the house the entire day but I had somewhere she could go for the day so it wasnt a problem for me

aww cute pic ..

LOVE the hoodie!

lol does he work for cheap? I would sooooooooo love something so amazing like that. One lucky flock for sure!

welcome to the forum lotta great folks round here lotta good information and stories. Marco is a 2.5 yr old CAG and settling into her terrible 2's for sure! But ... we love her

Zelph I cant even imagine what you are going through Im so very sorry for your loss of your precious Zoe. She looked like a super sweetie and your family loved her. I hope in time you all find another baby to love and raise together!

The petstore started Marco off on a misting before I brought her home at 4mo old so I just kept it up and now between her bathing in her water bowl and showers with me, she loves the water.

sooo jealous !!!!!!! I totally want one for Marco

welcome home to your new baby I can feel the excitement in your posts. Is this your first bird? First Grey? Definately give it time. She needs to get used to you, the new home the new sounds the new toys. Lots to take in for you both. Even if she doesnt want to come out of the cage right now there is still lots of bonding time you can have singing, reading and talking to her so dont give up! lots of fun round the corner for you for sure. Enjoy

wow what an amazing end to a sad story Im sooooo glad you got your Brutus back! OMG I have no idea what I would do if I lost Marco. We are so rural I dont know who Id call ... Happy for you! Welcome home Brutus

OOOOOh funny story.... The tat was done in 1 sitting took bout 1.5 hours and we drove from KS to Missouri (bout 5 hours away) to get it done. The same guy who has been doing ALL my tats for years. When I got home after it was all healed I showed Marco and she licked the beak on the tattoo and I started to giggle at her. She does the same thing when I hold her up to the mirror and say "Whos that?" she'll lick the mirror. I dont know how well they can see or what have you as far as to be able to distinguish that its a pic of her or another bird on my arm but I think she saw "something" for sure. I love her to PIECES !!!!!!!!!!!! Shes taken quite the liking to bossing the animals round. Guess you dont realize how much you say something until it comes out of her beak then ya think OH MAN I do say that alot. Its usually Toby head down Toby go outside Toby get down Toby lay down Toby go potty shes got them all covered. (Can you tell we have a new puppy named Toby?) :rolleyes:

I dont cover Marco, normally she'll go to bed @ 9 even with the commotion and tv still on.

I hope to hear good news soon ... Im so sorry

sorry for confusing you, yes I took marco in for a "trim" and they clipped the crap out of her wings. very emotional for sure probably more for me. Ive decided that wont ever happen again! EVER. The reason we dont take her outside, is, we go out there to smoke away from her. She does go outside when we are not smoking with her harness on. But when shes chewing on the window sill is when we slip out to smoke :rolleyes: so I have moved her tree stand further away from the sill so prevent her from climbing down on it and its stopped it (for now) I hope Marco's doesnt last very long either. For whatever reason, shes nippy with me but nothing to break the skin, however my friend and hubby (who she responds well to normally) are taking the brunt of her nips with broken skin and bleeding heck she crawled over the top of my friend while he was sleeping and promptly woke him up with a bite to his hand :eek: she just beaks me more aggressively then before and she has taken to not wanting to let go of my finger when I go to put her on her stand or something and tries to pull it upward to bite it! But its not every time and not every day and regardless shes still spoiled and my pretty pretty girl

smiles well Im glad you finally replied to the forum instead of lurking! welcome. Its fun to hear of everyones adventures with their babies and its fun when you can relate to going thru the same thing with someone. Im hoping it doesnt last long, but Im ok with marco wanting or needing more independance and Im glad she can entertain herself for long periods of time alone on her boing or tree stand or atop of her cage. She definately is the one to initiate contact now and I just go with the flow, she kinda runs that now and thats fine. She's very very alert and its kinda funny when we go thru each night the words she knows if I throw something in there she doesnt know (yet) she tilts her head and looks at me funny like... say what? lol Its so much fun to be able to talk to her and watch her learn and do new things. Hope to hear more about you and your baby Jake

Marco turned 2 in December 2013 so she is about 2.5 now. She has become the same as far as nawty and nippy. I knew it was coming tho, secretly thought maybe she'd breeze through it. Very possessive as well. Apparently she doesnt like hubbys mother too much either because she knocks down her picture off the wall atleast once a day ha! Marco's vocab has ONLY since exploded since she hit about 2. She was a late talker and now learns things so fast, be it good or bad

oh it wasnt back surgery ... but still a major surgery infact I couldnt believe I would of been out as long as I was but it took a full 6weeks before I felt descent again and now Im in tip top shape

aww what great pics Ive been gone so long I didn't know you lost cocoa Im glad you have decided to find you another grey and how sweet your baby is! :D enjoy

thanks ya'll the tattoo was an actual picture of her I took outside in the backyard that I took to my tattoo guy. I love that she is always with me (in a manner of speaking) now. I hope the terrible 2's don't last long lol she's sometimes a super pain in the rear! She has taken to sitting on the window sill when we are outside which is all well and fine until she figured out it was made of wood ... SO not happy with her additional carvings in it grrrrrr. She's still as beautiful as ever, and still a super messy eater! I notice if I don't pay her enough attention she comes on over and makes sure I notice her, specially if we are watching tv or Im on the computer. She knows everyone in the house by name now, and even her address which I thought was a great thing to teach her incase she ever got lost! She knows her first and last name and her address! We have so much fun watching her grow every day. I cant really imagine my life w/out her. Its good to be back and Ive missed ya'll. Gonna try and go back and read all the stuff I missed might take me a while but I'll get it done.
