pearllyn Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Hay Folks! When Alfie was younger we put up some curtains in the Living/Dining room to keep her out or in - whichever applied! This is a short video of her proving how ineffective they are!! Hope you and yours are all well! Lyn & Alfie xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danmcq Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Bravo, well done!! I loved watching Alfie "Thread the needle" especially in Slow-Motion. He truly is a "Top Gun", very fitting sound track. It just goes to show just how graceful and precise these Greys are once they have mastered their flight skills. Thanks for sharing this, I have marked it as a favorite to watch and share with others. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pearllyn Posted November 12, 2009 Author Share Posted November 12, 2009 Thanks Dan. We love watching her in flight - she's so accurate, it's awesome!! x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 That was really cute Lyn, he is a good flyer and maneuvers so well between the curtains, thanks for sharing that with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pearllyn Posted November 12, 2009 Author Share Posted November 12, 2009 Judy, she is just sooo entertaining, I love just watching her - such a time waster! Thanks for looking! x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbpittman Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 I am so jealous! Beau was supposed to have been flighted and Dixie was clipped when I got her. Now I can't wait until the rest of those flights grow out so I too can have the joy of watching them fly! Great video and I love the music - very special meaning to me and now even more so!

jessdecutie18 Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Impressive! Thanks for sharing Makes me want Yoshi's feathers to hurry up and grow in so she can get the chance to fly too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pearllyn Posted November 12, 2009 Author Share Posted November 12, 2009 Just wait, you two, till the flight feathers grow back! You'll be mesmerised!! Thanks for looking. x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JillyBeanz Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Part time film producer too Lyn - your talents are endless!!! What an absolutely fab video - She is definitely a top gun! I was just wondering if Tom himself was on the other side of that curtain, helping Alfie take off (yum yum!!) I agree with Lyn - there's nothing more beautiful and amusing that a flighted grey - you find them everywhere - anytime, any place anywhere - perhaps I should have called Harvey "Bacardi"!!

katana600 Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Lyn, that was magnificent! At first I thought you just played the same clip, but watching it again, I could see how the curtain was moved and she came from a different direction. Did you put it in slow motion or does she fly that slowly and deliberately? It was awe inspiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is lovely to watch tho. Chris, just today? Well I would like to know what you seen yesterday!! lol. I just think she's amazing! Thanks for looking all!! x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pearllyn Posted January 19, 2010 Author Share Posted January 19, 2010 Alfie's been at it again, but she has progressed onto half closed doors!! I was ironing in this room and didn't want her coming to investigate, so I pushed the door almost shut so she could still see us but couldn't get through - or so I thought! How stupid of me to underestimate her! I won't be getting a video of it cos I don't want her to do it again, but here is a pic of how closed the door was! I had Alfie return to the scene of her crime just to add perspective! It's 11cm!! I don't even know how she did it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pearllyn Posted January 24, 2010 Author Share Posted January 24, 2010 And again! I'm going to have to be really careful of how we leave doors as she's becoming more willing to have a go at anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 It doesn't surprise me Lyn, where there is a will there is a way and Alfie is finding it, looks like if you want to keep her out you will have to close doors unless she finds a way to open them. You might not be her favorite person but she certainly wants to be where you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvparrots Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 That would certainly be a stretch. How did she do that??? :silly: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as you say, where there's a will, there's a way and if I've learned one thing about grey's - they are willful! Janet - I really don't know yet how she did it - I was really gobsmacked!! When you see that gap in real life it's unbelievable! I would be really interested to hear if anyone else's nutcase has atttempted something like this - I really wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen her do it myslf!!
