Looks like shes starting to trust you! Might be luv Im rehoming my tag Gio (less than a month) so I understand the little victories!!! Looking good Rosie!!!

Lol!! Im a believer!!

So only 3 weeks since we took in Gio 4 yr male tag. First week just whistling and sfx steps up great. 2nd week speaking things from previous owner. I have been consistantly gaining trust in fact 3rd week getting the finger preening from gio! Have been doing some everyday talking to him in hopes he would pick up maybe a new word here or there....i know its very soon in the realationship but hey gotta start somewhere...well here is what got me..last night my wife asks me "you got cheese left at work?" imediatly Gio says "got cheese left at work" and "got cheese" i about feel on the floor!!!shock and Awwww this is my first grey and i have been reading a lot of the stories about the abilitys of this breed but I really thought a lot of it was...well not real....All i can say is wow! How that bird was able to repeat an entire phrase without practice.....im blown away and frankly a little scared that the greys may be smarter than us.....lol this bird is gonna be a trip!

my new buddy Gio!

Hi everyone, I have been a bird lover for years. I have a white fronted amazon "rocko" that i adopted 5 years ago turns out he is a she. Lol but she knows her name so we kept it. Very old bird passed around a lot till we got her. Anyway my big news is the newest addition to the family a 4 year old timneh!! A boy named "gio" previous owner got him from breeder and hand feed and he is a fantastic bird! Really cant believe they let him go. From what the owner said gio did not get along with the wife and would also call for a favorite dog that had passed so they couldnt take it..I can kind of understand..but this bird is awesome! In fact my first awesome suprise was today, he had been eating a real bightly colored pellet food and I switched him today to the natural and he dove right in!! Still hasnt spoken to me but is whistling and doing sound effects. Im sure he's still trying to get a feel for us its only been 2 weeks. Sorry for being so long winded but excited and wanted to share!
