Timbersmom

Glad you have the move over and glad Alfie took it in stride! Sometimes they are more adaptable than we expect. I'm always surprised at what Timber isn't afraid of, and what he is!

Anything at all different on the screaming days? Does he sense your illness and is he reacting to it? I was just wondering. There has to be some sort of trigger?

Hello and welcome Dan and Bella. She is a beautiful bird! I'm relatively new to greys too. From other posts I've read and from my own experience with Timber, they have very definite likes and dislikes. Time and trust will help as the others have said. However, Bella may never like to have her feet touched. As long as she can step up and down without issues, I'd avoid her feet. They all have their little quirks, which is one of the things that makes them so interesting. The fact that she allows you to scratch her head is a good sign and a pretty big deal (in my opinion). It is possible that she had a bad experience with someone holding her feet, a bad nail clip or who knows what. Greys never forget, so anything that happened to her in the first two years will stay with her. That is what all of us with a rehomed grey deal with. Their past experiences, good or bad, affect how we interact with them. Good luck and God bless

What an amazing change in Joe from the earlier posts I read about him. The resiliency and intellect of greys never ceases to surprise me.

I'd bet she does it Nancy, but maybe you just aren't hearing it. It isn't terribly loud like some of their noises, but it can definitely be heard. Whether she does it or not makes no difference as long as you know she is happy and content

LOL to the zoo. Too true to never knowing what is around the corner!

Good job! I wish Timber had been harness trained. If I tried now I'm afraid I'd come back with a bloody stump...

Oh no! Following that logic I'm due for two more parrots!

I'm with you there! I got my TAG when my last child went to college. He really does fill a gap for me! Mutual benefit situation Chico is really coming along! Fascinating to observe their progress

My Timneh has 3/4 inch bar spacing and hasn't had any problems with it. More experienced people will chime in

Good deal! That is a real blessing. I still put Harrison's in (have for six months now) but I don't think Timber takes even one nibble.

What a good report! Timber starts vocalizing any time he knows my attention is taken by anything but his fine self, so no surprise that Strorm takes off during the soaps!

Timber is a grinder. Sometimes when he is getting ready for bed or before taking a nap, sometimes when he is on my arm if it is late. Grind, grind, grind. Sure glad I read here early on that it was normal! Otherwise I would have thought it was stress.

Haaaa! Loved it. I have to say, I asked myself this morning, "Is this real life?"

She'll be jabbering away before you know it!

I see Timber drink pretty often, especially after he has eaten. Neat video Trancework My experience with Timber is that if I have something to drink, he wants it, and plastic containers are especially inviting!

What an exciting adventure you are having Sassy sounds like quite the character, but that is what makes them so endearing. Leo is coming along too. I am a novice so don't have any advice about getting Leo back in his cage. If he's stepping up on the perch that's progress, and I would think that as he starts trusting you more and getting used to you it will probably work for him.

That level of trust is great!

Amazing stuff Jeff! I'm a believer too, so no worries on that score. I know what you mean about non-grey owners though. When I tell them something Timber has said or done they get that "seriously?" (sarcasm) look...

Shhh Sean, don't let Sophie hear you say that!

Hope you enjoy Sophie's vacation!

LOL It is never pretty, but you have to do what you have to do!

What good news! Glad to hear Pearl is doing so well and that you have found a vet you are happy with

Beautiful pics, as always!

What a pretty baby!
