Joolesgreyuk Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 I know there was a similar post to this not so long ago but I've been unable to find it so apologies for repeating the subject but... I've always wondered if I would recognise Beau should he ever be lost (God forbid) and be found by someone else. Their first question would probably be "what goes your CAG look like?" or "are there any distinguishing features", I always thought Beau was similar looking to other greys but since seeing many others I realise he isn't. Most other greys I see are bigger for a start and Beau is also darker than many, he is definately a congo though. So I'm reasonably confident I would recognise him. Does anyone else think they could?

JillyBeanz Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 I would like to hope that I could recognise Harvey, and after spending a year nearly with him I would hope to recognise his body language rather than his actual physical appearance. As you know, Harvey's not a talker, so I couldn't rely on the chat - but there is a "thing" between us, when he knows he's done something wrong and I stare at him - he goes "wooh" - a bit like an owl! :laugh: Oh, and just to add - after today when he's had me running up the stairs after him about 50 times, I'm not sure I'd let on that he was mine <br><br>Post edited by: JillyBeanz, at: 2010/02/23 17:45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joolesgreyuk Posted February 24, 2010 Author Share Posted February 24, 2010 LOL love it, Beau does that sound too (probably in a different tune) it's the sound he got from me when I have a treat for him - so he's probably asking for a treat ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greywings Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 I am pretty confidant that I could pick out Pookie with her little red factor feathers and plucked throat area but I am even more confidant she could pick me out of a crowd.

JillyBeanz Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Ah yes, Pookie has those little red feathers doesn't she Jill ~ that's pretty distinguishing isn't it. Harvey's just a grey thing with a red tail. I've thought of a way I could distinguish him though - give him a door frame - I'm sure his beak would be through it in nanoseconds! :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elvenking Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Yeah...he is the one always flying to me. LOL. That is if they cut the bracelet off his leg that says EMR 040. I have to say that ultimately, there is no way to sever the bond I will have with my bird. As long as that is the case, I could pick him out. I am sure I could fine another physical feature that makes him unique as well. <br><br>Post edited by: Elvenking, at: 2010/02/23 19:59 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pat Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 i think with frosty it would be his feathers ,his tail and ends of wings are a bit battered.and i,d like to think he would pick me out as well . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajlinva Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 I really think I could pick mine out, Miss Lilly gives me kisses everytime I pick her up and Bingo grabs my hand as if to say, "What took you so long to come and get me". If there was a line-up and I couldn't hold them, I would have to really study! But, I think I could Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 I believe I could pick Dayo out of a crowd. After a few minutes observing the white pattern around the eyes, the shade of Grey on wings (Dayos is darker) feather patterns of where he has damaged some playing hard (not molted out yet) and lastly IF he just said one word, noise or sound. I think we all KNOW our children's voice in a crowd of a thousand, and they know ours as well. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debandbella Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Its surprising really, all greys look the same yet i can tell just by looking whos who out of my 3. Its rare i get it wrong by sight but impossible to get it wrong by characteristics, they are all so individual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvparrots Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 It would take some studying, but yes I believe so. Ana Grey has a lot of red on her tail for a Timneh. She has markings on her beak right now that I could recognize and the place where her band was removed is still quite bare. Once she started to talk, it would be easy and if she should whistle I would know her in a second. I believe she would come to me if I called and she had a mind to come.

Xtreme575 Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 LOL @ Jill! Jill, I'm sorry, but I really believe you and Harvey deserve one another! You saying that you wouldn't admit that he is yours really made me laugh! I think you two are a perfect pair! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joolesgreyuk Posted February 24, 2010 Author Share Posted February 24, 2010 Yes I think even if we couldn't recognise them, they would us. Beau would fly to me for sure and of course they all sound like us when they talk :whistle: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So true.....you could take us both anywhere - but definitely couldn't leave us (and nobody would take responsibility for either of us)!! :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecodweeb Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Right now it's kind of easy.... One has hardly any chest feathers, just down and is the size of a horse compared to most other greys. The other one has a crooked beak and a bad bird attitude. What would bother me is that Phoenix would likely run away from me but Talula would step up.

Jane08 Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Jill I know what you mean about not admiting they are yours. Once we were out with some other birds and Rangi kept trying to knock this amazon off his perch and everyone was looking. I was so embarrassed that I made my BF go and get him. The next day we saw a photo that someone took of Rangi harrassing this amazon. Shameful. So I could tell who Rangi was just look for the bully. I could tell who Kea was just look for the bird clinging to the highest place available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
