ScottY Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 I just stumbled upon this terrific MP3 radio podcast featuring Maggie Wright, African Grey expert & author of African Grey Parrots: Complete Pet Owner's Manual . Well worth listening to :cheer: from begining to end . Click below: Birds of a Feather (59 minutes, 03 sec) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchroedersJen Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 I have been trying to download this for the past 35 min and it keeps freezing up. I have a pretty fast connection and am not surre why it's not working. I will try again tomorrow! Thanks for the heads up on this probably awesome podcast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JillyBeanz Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 I've listened for 20 minutes Scotty - not enthralled - she's a bit of a loony! I haven't head any "expert" advice - she's talked about going to England to Camelot (which doesn't exist), dogs and oh yes "her book" but nothing enjoyable! She's just quoted that dogs and parrots are "different species". Mmmm! I'm no expert - but even I knew this!! She's also just said they are "telepathic" - I know they are clever, but come on! Sorry, I've had to switch her off! Others may find her interesting - I don't! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottY Posted August 30, 2009 Author Share Posted August 30, 2009 JillyBeanz & LuvParrots: Sorry to hear you both were underwhelmed with the podcast. As far as her so called 'loony' ideas go, I just figured all parrot owners have got to be at least a little loony to want to keep a parrot (aka: wild animal! :woohoo: :laugh: Despite perhaps a couple of the more esoteric notions expressed, I still believe the podcast provides some sound informative insight about African Grey Parrots that both owners and potential owners whould appreciate. In particular for me,learning that CAG's and TAG's each have a different maturation rate, of which results in how to best raise them during the critical first 2-3 years, and the discovery that African Greys are 'partial ground feeders', of which may contribute to the reason for their heightened sensitivity and reaction to new toys and objects when first introduced.<br><br>Post edited by: ScottY, at: 2009/08/30 03:08 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
