Luvparrots Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Ana Grey has been very busy lately. She's decided that she is the keeper of the lights!!! I was typing in the office and out of the corner of my vision I noticed that the bird room was light then darker, back and forth. So I got up to see what was happening. There was Ana Grey..... I can't complain too much about her wanting to be helpful as she has been shelling my pistachios for me. She has figured out how to open the lid on the plastic container. She sits and cracks the shells and drops the pistachio kernels back in the container. What a sweetheart!!!! LOL!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray P Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Dark out side lights on. Light out side lights off. So what is the problem ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birdnut Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I dread the day Moussa figures out the spigot on the Berkey water filter. He's learned how to disassemble it, but so far he hasn't caught on to turning it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffNOK Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Ana Grey seems like a real character! What a greyt help with the pistachios. Have you told her that you are getting a Congo soon? I am curious to get your thoughts on having one of each. I am still not sure if I will get a CAG or TAG yet. When I read your posts about Ana Grey, I think--"Oh I want a TAG"--Then I read about Dayo's antics and I think--"Hmmm maybe a CAG?" I may end up like many here and have one of each....We'll see. It's been so good being part of this forum. Before coming here I kept reading websites that all seemed clearly cautionary. "Are you sure you want a grey?" "Can you handle a grey?" "Greys aren't for most people." It was almost like the writers want to discourage people from getting a grey. From what I've seen here, however, the vast majority of parronts to greys are very happy and have wonderful relationships with their birds. I feel much better about my decision to get a grey.

shanlung Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Jeffnok, Thinking is good, but thinking too much is not good. So go get that grey and do not think. Go and see greys, until you see one that hit you with a thunderbolt in your heart, regardless of age or appearance or what others say. That will be the one for you. Your life never be the same again.

JeffNOK Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Shanlung, Thanks for that. You're not the first person to say that to me about my "Grey Education Project". I definately live in my head a lot. Deep down I must have some illusion that if I learn "all there is to know", then I can control the situation and everything will be perrrrrfect! Ha ha...thank goodness life isn't really like that. I will certainly follow your advice and let my heart in on the game a lot more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvparrots Posted February 4, 2011 Author Share Posted February 4, 2011 Jeff, as Shanlung suggests you should adventure out into both TAG and CAG worlds to see which grey appeals to you. I chose Ana Grey (TAG) as my first grey as tags are more petite and I was looking for my first parrot. I was lucky and Ana Grey and I hit it off from the beginning and so far that companionship has benefited us both. When you find the right grey for you, you will know it in your heart. And it is true, greys are not for everyone. I have three different kinds of parrots, each one is different. My ekkie is more a solitary guy, my zon is a fun loving clown and my TAG loves human contact, to eat, drink and chill with me, she does not like me interacting with the other feathered guys, I am her flock. I am looking forward to being a CAG mommy. And because I have the time (I live alone and am retired) I want to see what the quirks and personality of a CAG are. Are they truly different than a TAG? I have space in my heart for one more parrot and I would like to satisfy my curiosity. But mostly because greys really are the parrots for me!!!!

chelseaB Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Ana Grey is just too funny! Thanks for getting a picture of that! Biscotti does that with the light switch in the kitchen- while he is busy switching it on & off he is saying "bad bird, bad bad bird", and an occasional "dark!" They are just too smart for their own good. I hope Biscotti will learn something constructive like pistachio shelling! That is awesome!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 It's GreYt to see Ana Grey is so energy conscience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talon Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 That's too cute! Rikki has found the light switch in my bathroom, and insists on keeping the light on when I shower in the am. I turn it off, and she keeps turning it on. She won't ever turn it off, only on..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffNOK Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Talon, Rikki is being safety conscious. He doesn't want to you to slip or fall or anything while showering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val27 Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I agree w/ the others. I think you should get a Grey. It sounds like you have done a good job learning about them before just jumping in. I tossed the idea around for a while then thought, they live a long time. I better get one before I am older so I can spend a long time w/ them too. I sure hope she is w/ me until I am 70ish yrs old or more. I think I visited my grey several times before I actually took her home. I had to decide between 2 TAGs. I LOVE my Finney Foo! Good luck!
