lino Posted February 26, 2011 Author Share Posted February 26, 2011 hi, thanks a million for the warm welcome. actually i have joined this forum about 2 years ago. but decided not to get a gray as i dont want to get and abandond and i think my skill on parrot are not quiet there to handle a gray. so now i think i have enough experience on gray, so i decided to get one. the one i got was a problematic bird. with quiet a bad territorial and biting behaviour. but learning new phrase incredibly quick and not a shy bird at all. will talk where ever he is. what best, he some how know the meaning of the words. like when he have a bad fall( he is severely clipped) he will recover and tell everyone that he is fine...."hey i am fine, i am fine" quiet an interesting character. but need to work on the territorial and biting behavior. i am sure with help from the expert here, i can get him accept me well. btw, any sugestion on the name to give him? i am trying to get a name that has no "r" in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi judy, ya, the wing is severely clipped. It's clipped about 12 feather I think and he would fall like a rock. And yup, I m letting him regrow the wing and learn to fly. He has never learn to fly before All my birds are not clip and some of them is recall trained. Hopefully the grey will ever be able to fly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lino Posted March 16, 2011 Author Share Posted March 16, 2011 Hi guys, I decided to name her amigo, and call migo in short She is now responding very well to me So far, I manage to train him to do shake hand, wave good bye, and flap the wing as hard as possible on command. With this I hope she will tone up some muscle to prepare her when her Wing regrow. However, I need sone advise on the name She already know her old name and would repeat it. She also can make some of the sneeze sound that I really find it not cute. How do is remove the words or any sound that he make? She also start becoming very very cuddly at night in her cage. She would puff the feather and bend down her head and let me cuddle her. But in the day time or outside the cage, she never want to do that. How do I get her a little more cuddly in the day time? Thanks alot guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I like the new name and as she uses it more and more she will say her old name less and less. About repeating sounds you do not like to hear just ignore them for you cannot make her not say them but in time she will do it less if you just don't react in any way to it. Lots of greys are not cuddly at all and some do so at night when they are getting tired and ready for bed, count yourself lucky that she will do even that but don't expect her to do it during the day, you cannot make her do anything she doesn't want to so learn to love what she gives you.
