Some of the in between (Practice Chatter) is good to hear and compare.

Thanks !

Did you have the TV on Animal Planet? I always wonder where they pick things up

Just a quick update, Talon and others had mentioned the mobile device issue where it does not work.

It is now Apple and Android compatible. You can also upload pictures and videos directly from your device. (on apple devices you have to go to the "PC Site" by hitting the button in the top left corner to upload videos or pictures in the manner already described. The skin for Apple only supports viewing)

If you are using Apple, there is a tricky conversion process after it is uploaded, so essentially it has to encode twice.

The bottom line is the cron job runs every ten min, so a video will not be available for viewing on an apple device for between 1 and 10 min after uploading. Androids are immediate.

Current videos are all available immediately.

I'm still tweaking this for the Apple side (Difficult) so if the color scheme is off in some places please forgive me, I am working on it, but it is functional.

Well, I am going to see about sponsoring one of these guys, it is just sad, and what is worse is they dont do that in the wild, so it is human fault.....

On the 7th floor.

I am trying to get the apple template running so you can look at it on iphone, ipad ect... just proved to be a bit more difficult then I expected.

Maybe today.... Maybe

Bring my Breakfast!!!! LOL

Watch "Breakfast Please"

I know this is an old thread, but OMG, I went to the website and looked at some of the Greys up for adoption...... Some of them so badly plucked you couldn't possibly understand how it could get soo bad.

I thought about sponsoring one.

Is there any hope for these guys to regain a normal life again? Get a few feathers back and gain some weight, or are they scarred permanently?

Thats all I can really say OMG!

Thank you very much for this, I was about to purchase a cage and did not even give paint a second thought. I learn something new here all the time.

The only thing Sukei does that is recognizable is the sexy whistle, don't know if it has a spelling LOL

I discovered that Sukei likes to hear herself and talk back as long as she hears it playing.

Found this out when showing a video to someone that had the audio turned up,

She really seems to enjoy it and wont stop chattering till the video stops.

Each time I do it, she adds to dialog with a new type sound.

Is this a bad thing to do with her?

ANY time you fire off audio she immediately starts to talk back to herself.

I checked if it was just parrot chatter in general by running some audio of a different parrot, and she doesn't utter a peep, just to her own.

Scratching my head on this one???

It finally happened today. It is my day off and I try to spend most of it with the Wife and Sukei.

The wife and I were giving her the usual shower.

Afterwards we brought the cage with her on top to the window to dry in the sunlight (Usual Routine)

I thought I would try and get her to step up, but it turns out step up was the problem....

It was more like back down LOL.

I put my hand behind her and just gently lifted up.

There she was siting on my hand..... She looked at me and I looked at her both of us in shock I think LOL.

Lasted about 30 seconds because I did not want to spook her, I moved to the perch and she got off......the ride was over

Being from Texas I know how HOT and how BIG it is, it was a miracle. If you ever wondered if miracles happen, there you go. Accidents are just what they are, accidents. Don't feel guilty.

WOW too young at 51. Great Actor

Actor James Gandolfini, who rose to fame as crime boss Tony Soprano on 'The Sopranos,' has died of a possible heart attack in Italy, an HBO representative confirms

Dont make no trouble, wont be no trouble LOL

Looks like the previous caretaker took good care of your new friend!

Toys R Us for Parrots, SWEET!

I was trying to take a picture of Sukei looking out the window without being noticed.

I got noticed LOL :eek:

I'm just glad it looks like it is easy enough to understand.

The system is very tolerant. It will use just about any video format.

Yea I had that same thought too, like they were thinking, look at the show off, we dont need no stinkin showing off LOL

Thanks KevinD for showing me how to post this.

I'm just glad it is working well. Your welcome

All,

I checked with the powers that be and said it was ok to post this.

I noticed alot of folks were having trouble with posting videos and I got tired of youtube and all the advertising embedded into my videos, so I made a video site to make uploading videos and posting them a snap.

With my new found love of parrot topics, I made a site specifically for Grey videos, although all parrot videos are welcome.

Your video will not be embedded with advertising site logos or anything, just your video.

I embed the site logo on my videos only in case someone decides they want to use it.

Go to http:\\greyvid.com

1. Register (You can use fake info EXCEPT for a working email, the system sends an email back to you to confirm you are a real person and not a spam bot)

2. Upload your video. It can be in just about any format your device cranks out.

The only limitation is size it has to be 300 MB or less and 300 MB is a BIG clip.

All the fields are required except sub category

It will look like this.

After filling in the data fields click Continue to Upload

It will look like this.

Click the Browse button and navigate to where your video is on your pc.

Click the video you want and then click the Upload button.

It will look like this.

After your upload is complete, give the system a moment to process your video and go back to the main site by clicking the site logo in the top left corner.

Find your video and click on it.

It will look like this...

3. After you click the share/embed button two code snippets will appear. You want the BBC (Bulletin Board Code): Just copy and paste the code in the top box into your post.

What will show up after posting it is this.....

Watch "Macaws and Greys"

It is really is kind of simple and easy after you do it once, but I understand some folks do not live on their PC's for a living, so I would be glad to answer any questions you may have.

While the middle east has it's share of black market birds there are a few that are "Legal"

We went the other day to the main market and got this small vid with Macaws and Greys.

It seems there is not much original parrot footage around these days.

Watch "Macaws and Greys" on GreyVid.Com

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I have read a couple books on Greys and when I read that apple seeds contained a trace amount of cyanide I didn't give it much thought as my Emma did not like apples. Then the other day she was really interested in the apple I was eating so I gave her the core (expecting her to drop it) and was surprised that she ate it.

Better safe then sorry..... Magnificent looking Parrot. Sukei is molting, so she is having a bad feather day lol

Hmm, maybe I am wrong but I made extra sure to remove the core because they said the core has trace amounts of arcenic in it, I could have read it wrong.

Maybe someone with more knowledge can chime in...:confused:

Well, I finally tired of trying to find a way to upload and post videos, so I made one.

Feel free to use it.

Finally got Sukei to eat some fruit!
