mattpatresi Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 I presented my 5/6 yo CAG Pablo with a ping-pong ball today, when we were playing on the bed, and he started showing what must clearly be a form of nesting behaviour: handling the ball with extreme delicacy as if it was an egg and scratching my bedsheets with his talons, like he was trying to dig a hole. I've not had him dna-sexed because it didn't seem so important, although I've always kinda hoped that he was a she! Could anyone tell me if this kind of behaviour can be attributed to both sexes or only one, and if so which one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 HI Matt, Both sexes will display this behavior. We gave my male Grey an couple of plastic Easter Eggs back during that period and He treated them like a real egg, very gently. He also exhibited the same nesting, scratching behaviour you've described. It's really cute to watch, isn't it? :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
she Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 That is interesting,Charlie is DNA male I have never thought of giving him an egg like object but It would be amazing to see how he reacted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
