chimaysmommy Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Just an update on our Chimay! We purchased the Jolly Ball!!! It arrived yesterday and watching his reaction to it really made me scratch my head...He went after the toys strung up along the sides without hesitation (though I don't know that he's really knows what to make of the holes in the ball). What I found funny is the fact that he had ZERO fear of this huge ball with what seems like hundreds of new toys on it, even though it's over three times his size. He had the same lack of fear of his Atom when it arrived. Yet when I purchase new smaller foot toys or perches, he will back away from them with a little bit of fear and confusion, and won't likely take to them for a day or two. Seems like he's got his fears backward. Haha! He's also trying as hard as he can to talk...he went through a phase where all he wanted to do was whistle, and now he will spend most of the morning just chattering to himself and us (no words, just grumbles). I keep encouraging him, because I know how hard he's trying and I just wanna reach into his little body and pull the words out of him!!! He's grown up SO much since he came home to us in March and I can't wait to see what else he's got in store for us. P.S. Is it sad that I took personal time from work so that I can go home early today and hang out with him? Haha.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelseaB Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 That jolly ball sounds like a wonderful toy!! How about a picture? My Biscotti is doing the grumbly/chattering too, I love it!! Sounds like he is telling a big story, just waiting for a real word to come out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvparrots Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Congratulations on Chimay liking her Jolly Ball. They are certainly covered with lots of toys. Ana Grey loves hers too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimaysmommy Posted October 15, 2009 Author Share Posted October 15, 2009 Thanks!! We haven't hung it up just yet but I let him play on it with me on the couch this morning to get used to it. As soon as we get the hardware to mount it to the ceiling and I'll be posting some pics at that time for SURE!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbpittman Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I think it's great that Chimay is having such a great time with his jolly ball and that you took time off work to spend with him. If I worked I would be jealous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimaysmommy Posted October 15, 2009 Author Share Posted October 15, 2009 Couple of pics of Chimay and his new Jolly Ball! We removed his playtop b/c it seemed like he was getting bored with it, so we overhauled it with a new grapevine cluster perch and the Jolly Ball! <br><br>Post edited by: chimaysmommy, at: 2009/10/15 04:25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luvparrots Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Great looking Jolly Ball. I totally love the grapevine perch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimaysmommy Posted October 15, 2009 Author Share Posted October 15, 2009 Me too!! I was SO thrilled when I saw it...I ordered it from www.birdsafestore.com, picked out the large sized grapevine perch which I believe is really supposed to be for the side of the cage. I emailed them and asked if it would be appropriate for cagetop use, they emailed back and said that they had one available with the appropriate perch "design" that could work for side-mounting and cagetop mounting! I really really love that store...my favorite birdie shopping site by far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JungleDreamz Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 GREYt pictures! How old is Chimay now? I LOVE that idea of replacing the playtop with the natural grapevine perch, That is such a great idea! And I like his jolly ball hanging right over his cage, Very cool!

she Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Great picture,he is a very happy bird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimaysmommy Posted October 16, 2009 Author Share Posted October 16, 2009 Chimay will be one year old on November 28th! Thanks for all the compliments guys! I was noticing more and more that he wanted to spend less time on his playtop and more time either with us on the couch or on his Atom. So, I figured it was time for an upgrade! I promised my boyfriend it'd be the last time I'd make him mount bird stuff to the ceiling... For now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
