I'd say just keep being active. Some posts get ignored and others will spark an interest. I've posted both kinds, just don't let it get under your skin if no one responds. There is no facebook arm of this forum. I've tried letting people know on the facebook grey groups about this forum but no one ever shifts this way. I used to post a lot of pics and videos of my GreycieMae, I need to get back to that.

There has been some drama here but try the Facebook groups - drama on the hour. I hate those groups. I only hang around to see vids and pics and sweet stories. Rosalinda is my favorite there.

There is a facebook group dedicated to The Monk Parakeets of the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex. I get their feed. Love the pics.

Mine like lima beans. I need to get some more for them.

6.5 years here. I guess around the same age as my GreycieMae. But she was just a baby!

Yup - Greys are just another member of the family. At least around here they are.

You must not know who Felix is. Of course you are the trainee, just look him up on Facebook and read his rantings and trainings advice...

testing the video mod PenelopePieceofWork.mp4

Haahaa...iOS...I avoid them like the damn plague. GreycieMae runs an Android. We will soon see a video of her, I'm sure of it.

It's great to hear from you Ray P. Sorry to hear of so much going on and the loss of your wife.

I'd use it - mix of mobile and pc. GreycieMae is a ham, there's no reason she shouldn't be schmoozing for the cameras....

I check the forum multiple times daily - almost always nothing new. Have tried to drag a few people here that, like me, get tired of the Facebook drama in those groups with tens-of-thousands 'members'. I've never successfully gotten anyone to come here. Facebook has managed to kill off a lot of forums. They can't kill off things like Maxima.org because the knowledge base is too huge and FB can't compete with the search-ability to find content that people rely on to diagnose and fix their vehicle. Another of my favorites, Caique site, went under a few years ago. The Caique FB groups are nothing compared to what was buried in the forum. AvianAvenue is still going strong but I get tired of the mamby-pamby over there so don't go much. Would hate to see this place go but there's also not much going on here either.

Stash his favorite treat in there - and make sure he knows it's there. I bet he'll be in it before long.

Alfie hits the jackpot. Love how he's checking out the new carrier. Won't be long and he'll be hoofing it downtown.

The behavior you describe is just like Huey is with me. At times he calls for me and wants me in the same room (control issue I assume) but I'm not allowed to touch or play with him or his things unless it's his idea. My wife can get away with anything with him. Occasionally I will do something, or touch something that is his and he will launch across the room and attack me. It doesn't really bother me much because I have other birds that want to stick to me like velcro. I think he likes me a little because lots of times when I try to put him down, he reaches down and bites me and I know he's telling me, not yet, he's still having fun. He likes to play under the covers. When I do it, he bites really hard, out for blood type of biting. But when he does it with my wife he just nibbles gently. There have been times where I've snuck in and she talks to him and I play with him and I get to see how he treats her simply because he doesn't know it's me. 🤣

You may not know how good of a situation you have going for you. They will be really content to have a friend. What a great lil flock ❤️

Huey has really taken to my wife. Actually he thinks she is his wife and that I need to be evicted (he's tried on several occasions). He has started calling her by the name I and her mother (originally) use for her - "Belle". Huey says "Belle" exactly like I say it, only he usually gets a response, I usually get ignored?!? We like to think of Huey as a public figure around here. He performs a very important community function that we call "Lunches with the Ladies". He has a certain call that he makes whenever there is a female around. I'll have to get it on video someday, it's really cute. Whenever his kitchen staff (me) is busy getting a tray of delish ready, he's busy calling all his ladies to his important community function - Lunches with the Ladies. And as most of you know, we are living in the "me too" era where men are getting busted left and right for inappropriate behavior, well, it has happened here too. It has been found out that Lunches with the Ladies is merely a pre-cursor for spooning with the ladies.. How inappropriate! Huey busted, caught in the act, spooning with a lady after one of his community events:

Love to see Greys with a buddy!

I see the birdy. Is half of aviary covered?

When we brought Huey in we just let them look at each other for a while. Supervised together time for a while. GreycieMae tried to bully him like she bullies everybody but Huey's a strapping male and quickly showed her who can be boss birdy. They get into little stabbies every now and then when they're not dining together. I never keep them in same cage when they have to be caged.

I think it's in their genes to love cheese. Both GreycieMae and Huey, who is picky, will beg for cheese and won't drop a single crumb. GreycieMae doesn't eat cheese, GreycieMae inhales cheese. This leaves Huey in a bad spot as she will then work her way over and start eating his cheese right out of his talon. It's funny to watch him try to keep her out of his cheese, keep his balance and not drop the cheese. I have to give her the cheese in tiny little bits inside her travel cage so she can at least spend some time eating her cheese instead of swallowing it as fast as she can...and stay out of Huey's cheese.

Sounds like our Huey. He loves to keep tabs on me, as I'm his head chef, custodian, gopher, etc, but his real love is reserved for his woman. She gets the cat calls, the lovey-dovey cuddles and all the sugar Huey can dish out.

Here's a Rosalinda video. Her best one is probably on Facebook but this one is pretty darn cute. Me and GreycieMae sit around and watch her videos all the time.

She is so sweet. Of course she can have a cookie and go up to the tree 😍 Around here 'cookie' means the honey graham crackers. I've never met a bird yet that didn't like those. Not sure if you've ever heard of the Grey 'Rosalinda' on youtube/facebook. Inara talks in such a sweet voice just like Rosalinda. Kills me everytime I watch her and now Inara too. These birds could talk me into robbing a bank with that sweet voice.

Hold on...fell out of my chair...picking myself up off the floor. Murfchck is back!
