tompro019 Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 My new african grey Bailey likes to hang upside down. Earlier tonight she hung upside down for about 20 mins. Is this normal? I appreciate any feedback. Thanks.
Spinner Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 As Char said, perfectly normal. One of my Greys actually hangs upside down and puts his head between his legs, hanging there and poking at various toys. It looks quite awkward to me, but he must like it. It's when they hang upside down from the bell or other toy and let out a happy screech that is just hilarious.
KiwiandSally Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 I love when Kiwi does this and when she beats the crap out of her toy she sounds like a seal at the zoo. It always gives me a laugh, I call her bat bird.
ramsabi Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 It seems to be so normal that I was worried when Rishi was not doing it!!! But in the last month he has made up for all the lost time !!
tompro019 Posted September 15, 2009 Author Posted September 15, 2009 Lol, I appreciate everything. I just was not sure because of the time. If I tried it in 20 mins I would have a stroke or something. I am glad to hear that it is normal.
JillyBeanz Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 Harvey thinks he's a fruit bat too - he'll hang there all day if I let him!! :laugh:

Janfromboone Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 I wish I could remember the name and post the video of the member who had one that looked like an upsidedown ballerina hanging from a string tied to a toy. Anyone know what I'm talking about. It was a hoot.
Janfromboone Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 I found it!! It was our darling Emma.
cf737 Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 LOL Jan that is a hoot! Emma is so funny. And I agree! It is totally normal and Darwin does it A LOT! Including hanging upside down by one foot on my finger as we walk places (while my other hand hovers below her out of paranoia lol)...and she also loves to hang by her beak from the top of her cage, with her feet swinging about....lol.

HeatherStrella Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 They love it!!! Perfectly normal..as everyone has said... B)
tompro019 Posted September 16, 2009 Author Posted September 16, 2009 I appreciate it. I loved the visa of Emma. I can't wait until Bailey will talk to me, just take time for her to get used to me. She used to talk a lot now just some. Her last owner had a lot of stuff come up. Which is when I adopted her. I think after she sees that I will spend plenty of time with her and give her attention, that maybe she will open up and talk more.
danmcq Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 Emma and other videos were GreYt! Thanks to all posting them and I love the photo of HeatherStrella. Parrots are all such acrobats and fun to watch. :-)
