Thank You !

I added a donation box way at the bottom of the right side of the forum. Please dont feel obligated. Its there if your so inclined.

Upgrade complete.

Well, I stayed out of range, and have not got bit again, but tonight I let my gaurd down, and got bit AGAIN cleaning his cage. I see a few questions in here, yes he activly chases me, I just get out of the way. My wife insists on letting him go walk about, and no matter where I am, in the can, in my office, he chases me down. She loves that bird so much, I cant kill him and eat him, BUT I got a German Sheapapard on the way. Lets see who wins. I know you guys cant see it, only Talon and myself, Im going to upgrade the software while Im here. Place your bets :)

I didnt say it was going to be another grey

Personaly dont bite the hand that feeds you comes to mind, now he can fight somwone else

Give him somone else to fight with

my finger is reall badly infected, I want to kill him, instead decided to get him a rival, he arrives tommorow.

Lmao someone gets th humor LOL

I also upgraded the sofware in here while I was bitching.

I paid for the god damn bird, he bites me again, ill eat him. Im tired of having to get stitches everytime he gets a bug up his ass. I saved his behind from death, I bribed Kuwaiti officials to get him home, and he still keeps biting me. Im done with it.

He has full flight capabilities, He goes wherever he wants when he wants. He eats when and where he wants to. LOL I dont know why it bothers me. Maybe the wife has spoiled him to death LOL

Lets just say for the sake of argument, that everytime you put a food bowl inside the cage, filled with everyting, IE peanuts, sunflower seeds, fruit, high dollar parrot feed. Your loved one never eats it ........ever..... He just throws it on the ground and when he gets to the bottom, throws the bowl out the door. NOW, Logic dictates he probably doent want/like it in the cage. Or so one would think. But a kind hearted human soul in the house says it would be animal abuse IF you don't put said bowl in the cage. THUS my quandry. He likes to eat outside of the cage. BUT im a bad person for removing the bowl before he throws it out the door. Keep in mind, I feed him ALL day OUTSIDE the cage, and he eats all day on the perch. It's not like im starving him. He just doesnt like it inside the cage. Any thoughts? Suggestions ? Am I a bad person ? It just seems logical to do what he wants. Since COVID hit ive been working out of the house. Thats close to two years. In case you havent guessed Im a network engineer or thats what there calling me these days. The Kind hearted human works off site...... ok you guessed the WIFE LOL I dont think Im a bad person, I think, Im just doing what he wants. There are a bunch of toys in the cage he plays with the door open, AFTER he tosses the bowl. If it were me, I wouldnt appreciate food in the bed...... I dunno. Maybe im too methodical in my thinking.

You dont need an app, this system will adapt to ANY internet device that can access a web site. It looks a little narrow, but it lines up perfectly and is fully functional.

Motel 6 and Tom Bodett, the lights are on LOL. I edited the cuss word, sorry, I thought the filter would catch it. But it did generate some conversation

I dont get it, this place is is like Linus in Charlie Brown, a comfort blanket. Like so many places I host is a ghost town. The way of the private fourms is done. Everything has gone to facebook or instagram. Ecuse my french, but these places are gone, everywhere. I refuse to give them up, my wife bitches at me all the time, why not give in to facebook and instagram and the like. I say because ill be the last man standing, and I will keep a platform for old folks like me that appreciates this platform. This is one of 50 I buck facebook, twiter an instagram. You have the pleasure of being the part of the old mom and pop vhs store. Dont take it for granted, we are few and far between. I will continue, please dont give any reason for folks to go elsewhere, This is a weath of knowledge. Anyways just saying, maybe you can contribute more, a thought or a story.......anything Use it like a personal diary, i dont know, I dont have all the answers. But when i go for the big dirt nap, there wont be anyone to advocate this kind of communnication. Dont take for grated what you have.

BTW, Sukie is sitting behind me and said "Hello"

Oh, the problem is no one actually says what they feel. Dont feel guilty for being upset about getttin bit. Or What you want to do at the time of the bite. In the end these greys are out of there enviroment for what ever reason. Sukei was actually in Africa, stolen from everything he knows and stuck in a box, with his fellow birds dying on top of him in a crate. I just tried to save his life, and I did, bribed two kuwaiti officials, got taggged by fish and wild life as an evil person, yet here he is alive. I would not change a thing. I did what I did because it was the right thing to do. Against the law maybe, but Sukei is alive and makes many people happy, and I think generally he is happy too, in fact when mom is home, and plays with him, he is REALLY happy. He would be dead if I didnt do what I did, so what is right and what is wrong, Justice or reality. Personally, I wish everyone would leave thes birds alone and let them live in the wild, the way God meant it to be, but I digress. Its not going to happen. I saved a life, God will judge me if I need judging. In the mean time, we do the best we can.

I cant believe, after spending 7 grand to save his life, I told him, if he bites me ONE more time, I would put him in a pot and eat him. He is a marksman, bites in the same place everytime on my right hand, so much so the scars are HUGE in the EXACT same spot. Got to give him that, he is precise. Of course I never would, he is a moma's boy. But damn it its pissing me off. I think the point of this post is they gravitate to one person in the family. One time reccently, I fell asleep on the couch, and he flew off the cage and landed on my head, tapped me on the head and said Sukei loves daddy. So if your having biting issues, just wait them out. Maybe he didnt think it was fair to bite a sleeping person. These greys always amaze me.

He just is just buying a new suit. Even Humans do it. Donate the old, and in with the new

Guys, I was ina bad place a few month ago, I was sick, and alot of it was classified, Im doing better now. Place will stay open. Remember if the site goes away, the new site is https://greyfourms.org I cant control the domain name as we dont own it, its a backup. Merry christmas to all and a happy new year.

While I was in here, I upgraded the software. Also, a thought. Probably is Sukei specific, but this Christmas I upgraded my 5.1 sound system to a Dolby Atmos. Sukei is a really High strung individual, and I put on some christmas music after the upgrade, and he turned into a statue LOL He seems to be very calm almost statue like, he cant process the 7.1 LOL Disclaimer, this may not work with your Grey :) Anyways Merry Christmas, and Happy New Years.

Just a reminder

Life is sometimes boring, and repetitive, and sometimes you might might be going through the motions. If you live each day as if it were your last, things might get interesting
