snakeopus Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Just five minutes ago, I walked into the bathroom and shut the door. While I was walking in, I heard Bismark calling for me - to him me walking into the bathroom is the same as me walking out of the house. So I'm in the bathroom for about 45 seconds, then I hear a tapping on the door. The INSTANT I open the door, in scampers/runs/hops a bundle of grey feathers. Bismark runs right up to me, stands on my bare foot - wings quivering waiting for me to pick him up. I put him on my shoulder, go sit on the bed for a minute, and talk to him about how I need personal moments every now and again but I'm flattered none-the-less. All the while he's cooing and chuckling, then begins to preen himself. He willingly gets back onto his playtop, then starts gabbering and talking to himself. I couldn't be a happier and stunned newbie grey owner....Bismark continues to blow me away with the depth of his emotions and attitudes...A week or two after I got him, I said having him is like having a girlfriend - and tonight I couldn't agree more...

Luvparrots Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 It certainly sounds like you and Bismark have a wonderful relationship going there!!! Ana Grey loves to stand on my feet to be picked up too. At least she did until she could fly now we argue about "not the shoulder but the arm little lady!" :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JillyBeanz Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 It is so lovely when they need you - it makes you happy to be a grey owner. Harvey's never like that - he's flighted and finds his own way - doesn't need me!!! Great story - thank you for sharing xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snakeopus Posted December 17, 2009 Author Share Posted December 17, 2009 Haha Bizzy is something else...To answer the questions: I've had Bismark for about fourth months now - and his wings were already clipped when I got him. I don't think he was clipped that bad, however, as he can flutter a significant distance. His favorite route is from his play top to my bed, then from my bed to the floor. I do not plan on clipping him after his new flight feathers grow in. But yes, I would have to say that we get along "greyt" hehe. One concern I have, and have been reading a lot about, is what will happen when he matures. I get the impression that's when the "honeymoon" stage is over. Bismark's now around ten months old.
