Happy Hatchday Ana Grey!

Many people on the forum work, and some work long hours. Before my retirement recently, I was gone for almost 10 hours each day, Monday through Friday. The only advice I can give is from personal experience. My grey is needy, and I think many of them are. What I mean by that is that he was fine with my being gone as long as my world revolved around him when I was home. Now that I am home more, he isn't as "needy," but still requires a lot of my time and attention. When I first got Timber, I found myself turning down social invitations and rearranging my schedule to spend more time with him and make sure he had his out-of-cage time and the attention I felt he needed. After two years, I still do that. It is a big commitment, and one you should give a lot of thought before taking on. That said, it is very rewarding!

Praying for a quick recovery of Brutus!

What a sweetie indeed! I'm awwing away here

Hello and welcome to you and Scarlett

I can see it! Nilah didn't make any bones about who was queen of the cabinet top

Still showing private.

I don't cover Timber. No particular reason, the people I got him from didn't cover him so I don't either.

Nice job Jeff! There were a couple that needed an "unknown" for us rehomers. Like the one about if bird was raised by parents etc. (don't remember #) and the one about how long the bird was handfed, also the one about gender. Sadly, I still don't know for sure! It'll be interesting to look at the results!

LOL Good idea JakeGrey!

I've never known a grey that would not step up from the floor, even if they refuse from everywhere else. That is very "normal" for them. It is also normal for them to be up with the sun and to bed with sunset. Amadeus sounds like a perfecting "normal" grey to me!

Hello and welcome! My bird would rather be with me, rather than without me, regardless of the circumstances. I'm sure Amadeus would be rather be traveling with his chosen one than anywhere else in the world

My vet said Timber could have cooked pork or beef, as long as it was a lean cut. Others may disagree, but he loves any kind of beef. I don't give it to him daily, but I imagine that like many things, once in awhile is fine!

Haaaa I was just visualizing 8 macaws in addition to your others... what a thought!

What a neat pic!

Timber gets jealous when I'm on the phone, much like a child. He will say "OK, Bye" over and over until I hang up!

Hello and welcome to you and Opi

When I got Timber's play stand, I had to put it right beside his cage. After a few days of giving it the stink eye, he got curious and checked it out. It often takes time, sometimes a lot of time, for them to accept something new. I have bought toys that he wouldn't touch for six months. I also used lures to get him to get on the playstand. Like putting a peanut where he couldn't quite reach it without putting a foot on the stand etc. In my experience, Timmy's reaction isn't unusual at all for a grey.
