danmcq Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 Wow, Joe is really getting with the program. The underlying principles of his cognitive understanding of the human language and applying it real-time of events or even transition of a certain length of time and wanting to know if Jay is ok clearly indicates just how truly intelligent these sentient and caring greys are. Joe obviously has a strong bond with Jay to fret over him as you indicate. Keep these updates coming!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayd Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Thank you Dan! Maggie here....your comments and insight reaffirms what we believe about Joe and a Grey's abilities to understand and comprehend... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kins2321@yahoo.com Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Not only, do they understand and comprehend, they show compassion. Sophie LIVES for teasing Kiki and Sunny. It makes her day! BUT.... if anyone is sick, molting( kiki), she understands, and backs off. She even tolerates Kiki being a " crazy woman!" Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She always say's "OHHHHH". I'm sure Smokey Joe would be a big hit at work.. Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdhouse Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 (edited) Since it's been so hot & because I've been trying to encourage Phenix to socialize w/Kura, I've been giving them baths together. It's been going pretty well. Phenix only tried to grab Kura's tail twice. Today, I got Phenix set up, then went to get Kura. But she was busy in her cage. Rather than stress her I went back & did Phenix first. I left Phenix to drip off while I went back again for Kura. I got her all settled. I reached for the mister. Then Phenix yelled, :eek: "Kura!! Duck!!" Yeah, I completely lost it. Edited July 17, 2012 by birdhouse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sassy Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Yeah... I finally get to add to this thread... Neytiri is 19 weeks old and on Sat she did two funny things... First we have a sound activated musical animated reindeer and she figured out what notes to hit to turn it on... then she "sings" along to it. Second she was standing on her tree stand and holding a nut in her foot... when she got to the point that she coulnd't get to the nut thru her toes anymore she stopped and looked at her foot. FIrst head tilted one way... and then the other. Back and forth she went like this even turning her foot. Eventually she looked down and dropped the nut... then she ate it. YOu could almost see the gears working in her little head to solve her problem. Sassy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbersmom Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 It's great to see them "problem-solving" like that! The feeling is much like the pride you feel when your toddler figures something out. Fun stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kins2321@yahoo.com Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Ohhhh I miss those days of them trying to figure it out! Now Sophie at age 12 figures it out in seconds! No tricking her anymore. Yes... she still believes in Santa. Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingy Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Ohhhh I miss those days of them trying to figure it out! Now Sophie at age 12 figures it out in seconds! No tricking her anymore. Yes... she still believes in Santa. Nancy Then you need to work hard to challenge her. While it is just my opinion I think we humans get old and grumpy when we stop learning and being challenged. I imagine it is similar for our feather babies. The little ones play and learn and explore and have a desire to do it because things are fresh and stimulating. We humans need to keep that up as our babies get older. In the wild animals are mentally and physically stimulated with finding food and a changing environment. We have to maintain that for them.

Timbersmom Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Timber said a new word last night! Big deal for a not-so-often talker. He said Dakota (my son and his favorite's) name. I've been careful to say goodbye Dakota and hello Dakota when he comes in and out and was hoping Timber would pick it up. Dakota came home from college for the weekend last night. He said he went in the living room and Timber was saying "come here" which he does pretty frequently. Dakota would respond, "no, you come here." Finally he said he heard his name "Dakota" and thought I was calling him from upstairs. Then he heard it again and realized it was Timber! Not rocket science I know, but he definitely recognizes "Dakota" is the name associated with my son. Woohoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingy Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Jake said is first word today. My partner passed gas and Jake loudly proclaimed PU!. I burst out laughing and darn near wet my pants. We will never forget his first word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kins2321@yahoo.com Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 LOL! Lucky it was just PU! Next Jake will repeat the fart itself, as well as burping, belching. Don't bother to correct the behavior, they will do it forever. Of coarse when Sophie imitates farting and burping, I do remind her to say " excuse me!" Hit and miss, in that department.

kins2321@yahoo.com Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Timbersome... TOTAL big deal that Timber said " Dakota!" Yahoooooooooo! THAT deserves a celebration! Sometimes, its the littlest accomplishments, that seem little, but really are a big deal. This is big, in my opinion. Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbersmom Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Thanks Nancy, big too us too! Funny about Jake's first word! They always do the unexpected don't they? That's part of what makes it so much fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spock Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Some new things have developed over the last few weeks...Joe's mind is expanding. Our little rescue Grey has become very asserting in what he says now. The other morning, I had been up for a few hours with them and Joe had been asking to see Papa. I had told him numerous times that Papa was still night-night. Giving me the impression that he was fed up, he stated "Wake up Papa. Go Papa now!!" Earlier that morning I was sitting and having a cup of coffee, while talking to all the birds, telling them about all the tasks that I had to do that day. Joe apparently thought I had been sitting long enough and he popped up with "Go to work!" and then laughed. A couple of days ago, I got Jay home from the doctor and took him to the bedroom before getting them out of their cages. As I went to open Joe's cage, he looked at me and said "Papa!". I told him Papa's in bed. He said "Go Papa" and flew off to the bedroom. I took off after him. He landed on Jay's chest. "Papa go bye-bye. No! Joe gotta go bye-bye Papa". :mad: I believe he was mad at Jay and if Jay was going to go bye-bye, he wanted to go too! Later on that day, Jay was sitting in his chair in the living room and Joe was on his favorite perch in the kitchen. Joe called out to Jay "Come here Papa. Want a good nut! Now!!!!" :rolleyes: As a side note: Tango, our extra-large 'Too will respond with a head shake no or a head shake yes to questions asked of her. She has been doing this for quite a while. Example: If I ask her if she wants to step up, she will shake her head no and walk away if she does not want to come with me. If she wants to step up, she will shake her head yes and lift her foot to step up on my hand. When it is time to go to bed and I tell her it is time to go, she will emphatically shake her head no and runs across the top of her cage. If she is cooperative, she will shake her head yes and climb down into the cage. Is Joe rubbing off on her? Hmmm.....:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
