hammco Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 I dont even know how to start...... Timmy had a GREYT day, very vocal and a few fresh grapes as treats for good behavior! It went downhill from there tho! I usually close his cage door for the night and "kiss" him thru the cage as I say goodnite but things went really wrong! His beak decided to meet my nose with a "screech" followed by an instant "STRIKE" like a python going in for the kill!!!!! It all happenend in .002 seconds and I felt the blood drop automatically! It was my fault tho...I could tell he was tired and all since he just had his cage moved to another room yesterday and I thought it would "comfort" him to "kiss" him goodnight...Thats what I get for thinking huh!! haha He kissed me alright, but he was VERY VERY VERY vocal after that for some reason, maybe cause he felt bad for biting me or maybe he was happy he taught me a lesson!!!!!!

hammco Posted November 12, 2010 Author Share Posted November 12, 2010 I am beginning to think that I am Timmy's pet...he is one SMART SOB!!!!!!! ...just another day in the life of a Grey owner (with a busted nose) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcusCAG Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 I'm glad it wasn't any worse, but it will heal. If I were in your place, I would like to think Timmy being vocal afterward was his way of apologizing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Barbara is right, call it women's intuition and maybe you did deserve it for you did something you should not have done so early in the relationship but don't take it personally and maybe that was his way of saying he was sorry, it could have been a lot worse you know.

Barbara2 Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 My only suggestion is to get some Neosporin plus for the next incident. (You KNOW there will be one!) Plus has a pain killing ingredient in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammco Posted November 12, 2010 Author Share Posted November 12, 2010 I agree with all of yall. Timmy has not been too nice this morning either, so I fed him an awesome breakfast and will let him be. Maybe he is just excited that he is with the other birds now, who "nose"! Hahahahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 I think its best you keep your nose out of his cage, even I don't do that with Josey and I agree with Barbara about the Neosporin Plus. If this is his first day with the other two birds then yes he may be excited about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katana600 Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 That picture tells it all and as much as I hate to admit it, I am laughing with you! Good that you are taking it all in stride and realizing he had too many changes in one day to made adjustments. Women's intuition? I think my husband would have "known" immediately if he had been on the same planet because he would have heard me shriek with shock and awe at how quick a sweet little kiss could turn to carnage when subtle body language on Timmy's part didn't get his message across and he had to "get a bigger hammer". LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaleah Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 I love your posts! Always so much humor and love for your bird. But I agree with everyone. Timmy was too worked up from his move and his new neighbors. With the best intentions you tried giving Timmy a kiss, but Timmy had other intentions in mind. He was probably a bit overwhelmed and wanted to show your nose his displeasure with the situation. Almost like a little tantrum. Usually my Grey is very affectionate and a bit of a snuggler, but if I do something to piss her off big time she lets me know. I've had lots of bites and nips, but so far nothing major. I had a nice mark on my arm once. I bright red little indent with a crescent indent about an inch below it. I'm lucky she didn't put more pressure behind it because that would have probably required stitches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_Squishy Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 I can't bring myself to kiss BoBo without my hand on his head. I know I wouldn't react well to a bite in the face and would not want to accidently hurt or scare him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvparrots Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 I only ask for a kiss on the cheek and if Ana Grey gives me one, it was her choice. I respect her little ole' beak too much!!!! LOL!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_Squishy Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 I don't grab his beak and give him a kiss. I normally include it when I am scratching his head or he is snuggled up against my chest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
