[will]

hi could some one please help me by telling me what it means when my parrots eyes go big and small thanks be really appreciated

[Guest briansmum]

it means he is either focussing to see something far away or close up or adjusting to light just like our eyes. or more than likely it means he is excited and enjoying something, for example a tasty treat, chewing on a toy or even a good head scratch. a greys eyes truely a window to their soul

Hi Will. Welcome to our family here. Glad you joined. Beccy gives you good advice. If you do a search here, you'll find more info about greys eyes. They can dilate them at will unlike us. Check put this thread below.

Talon is right, they can dilate them at will and you better watch out if they are pinpoints, called pinning, that usually means a bite is coming.

But if they are flashing (getting big and then small), then it is usually a sign of pure enjoyment.
