Hello

[Aly~]

Hello,

 

My name is Aly and I am owned by 2 kitties (Cuddles and Moo), 1 awesome German Shepherd (Aussie), 2 cockatiels (Chance and Baby Bird), and most recently an amazing CAG (Rebellious "Rebel", which is what brings me here).

 

I'm new to Grey ownership and I'm sure will have LOTS of questions along the way. It certainly didn't take this bird long to move in and take over. She's a sweetheart on her own terms. She obviously knows the word "no" and doesn't like it very much. She was plucking at my buttons and when I told her no, she cocked her little head and said "stupid"!! My daughter busted out laughing at her so she joined in laughing. Leaving me sitting there thinking, That bird did not just call me stupid!!

 

This site is so full of informaiton, I'll never get any work done. The toys are wonderful and I can't wait to get off work to go get some new things for her.

 

I can't wait to meet new people here and share Grey adventures with. My household has just changed in a way that I had no idea it ever could!!!

Hello Aly and welcome to our family, we are so glad you decided to join us and we look forward to hearing more about you and Rebel.

 

She sounds like quite a character but aren't they amazing creatures, once you have one you are hooked for life, nothing else like them thats for sure.

 

She is smart too, she thinks you are stupid:laugh: wonder who taught her that, how old is she, she sounds older than just a just weaned baby?

 

As you are finding out we do have loads of useful information here in our many threads and do ask questions you may have and we will help you in any way we can.

 

We love pictures here so if you have some of Rebel and your other pets you would share with us we would appreciate it.

Welcome Aly so glad you could join us

She is 2 and yes she is very smart. If you shoot her, she plays dead. Last night I was in my room and I heard.."come here dog.....and a gun shot sound". My poor dog doesn't have a chance!! I brought her home Tuesday and she's already saying "Aussie sit". I had no idea that they were this smart. Aussie is very curious and he likes to stick his head in her cage, so of course I make him back up and sit/stay away from the cage.

 

On the ride home just before she called me stupid, I got on my daughter for smacking her chewing gum. She said I threw that gum out awhile back. Rebel picks up sounds and mimicks them so quickly and amazingly clear. She must have been near a smoke detector that needed batteries at some point. I checked mine twice yesterday only to realize it was her.

Welcome to the forum Aly! Rebel sounds sooo funny and very smart! I hope to hear her on video one day, she must be a character! I hope to hear more about you and Rebel.

I should start a blog, I have a feeling there is going to be alot to talk about with this creature!!

 

I have read that you can give them phone books to play with and shred, is that safe to do with the large amount of ink in there?

 

Pictures will definately be coming soon.

Well please don't hesitate to share the stories with us about her antics, we love nothing better than to hear them and share a laugh or two.

 

I have given my grey a phone book to chew up, I had hubby drill a big hole in one corner to put a chain thru and hung it up in her cage, she worked on it for weeeks and I just haven't put another one in there for her.

 

I can't wait to see pictures.
