Blessing in disguise maybe. I bet some of the birds may have come down with aspergillosis if they continued on in that home. I too would contact all the new parronts and just explain the situation. Otherwise I'd be off to the parrot rescues to restock!!!

ahhh...the catitude.

Yep - Greycie tries to get in the middle of our fights. Uh, yeah I'm married and we fight like cat and dog sometimes. She doesn't like the yelling and loud raucous behavior. She actually tries to stop it by making a shriek that she doesn't make at any other time and will sometimes get on my shoulder and try desperately to get my attention to distract - I guess that's what she's doing. I feel bad about it sometimes and try to get her into the bird room and all the doors closed and radio on before I go and resume. She seems to discern between the fights and the times when we're going nuts with loud music and carrying on - that she really gets into and does her Pterrordactyls, swinging from her toys and joining in on the fun.

I've contacted them twice. They keep asking me to be patient. I guess they're on Grey time.

Well, we ordered this thing early January. Nearing March 3rd and they still can't deliver it. They sure didn't have any trouble accepting payment.

Dang - that was hilarious

Your story is so awesome. Like you there isnt much in this world that will make me tear up but these birds jump right over that wall. Great story. Please stick around and post more pics. Good for Smokey. He will definitely enrich your life and vice versa.

Known to be very sly....and tricky. If you look closely, you might see one in .

What a beautiful girl. I wonder how many birds out there are stuck living the life she came from. Between all the feeds I watch I see about 2-3 a week with a similar story - sad.

Wow...scared the hell out of me with that thread title.

Interesting perspective on your Grey being a Daddy's girl and yet having a close relationship with another Grey. I'm pretty sure we'll be taking my Grey that I lost to a divorce 20+ years ago back into my home. I've always wondered am I going to lose my little Daddy's girl. Our only difference is that the Grey I lost and may be getting back is a female. Hoping the difference in age will help with the union.

Hey I remember Kizzy! Our Greys are nearly the same age. Greycie is 16mos on Feb31 (Feb28). You're description sounds nearly identical to us. Cuddle birdy, talking, and fully expecting some naughty two's to come along. Although i think we're starting to see it already.

I believe that's a Poi? If so, she probably has a bite like our Raven did. Smallest bird of our biggies but with a tremendous clamp for a beak. She's the only one that has made me dance trying to get my finger back. Cute bird!

Very cute picture!

Safety first - haahaa! Good job Timber. Took Greycie about 6 months to decide that helium balloons in our living room weren't there to kill her.

Yes! Good for you adopting an older bird. It seems the adopted ones always have a special place in our home. She's definitely a cutie.

Good excuse to get another fid!!!

I definitely understand the part about feeling as if they are your biological children. We have pets: dogs, cat... and then we have our babies - Greycie and Toby and we had Raven for a time. I still can't look at pictures of Raven without tearing up and I think about her every single day. They do leave a big hole in your heart when gone. You sort of expect a human child will grow and leave which they do but these guys are your babies for life.

We've solved most of our landing area problems by either removing them or hiring help. We removed a chandelier that Greycie was adamant was hers to land in, swing from and chew the wires etc. Now there's a flat ceiling light there, looks better anyway. For stuff that we absolutely won't give in on we hired the frogs picture below. She's scared to death of them. I suppose it's the spots. We found one in a dollar store and used it on our ceiling fan. It's one of those super expensive fans with nice chewy wood propellers that spins really slow but moves a ton of air. She found it irresistible to land on and ride and then eventually chew the blades. The frog now lives up there and Greycie has NEVER been back. Two more of the frogs siblings have been brought in to guard our fireplace mantel and all it's chewable/breakable jewels and my wifes candle assortment that Greycie destroyed.

The council.

I can't imagine having to deal with 5 Greycie's! Wow.

That's nice, I might just lift that idea and make my own!

my money is on a troll.

Funny you mentioned riding your urban pony: We generally train in the garage where Greycie sits on her boing and Toby on his. They love the loud music. Sometimes I'll do easy recovery workouts in the house - this was one of those.

My wife sent me this:
