munch Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I thought there was an older thread all about theTerrible Twos but nothing came up on the search. Well, she's a bit more than 1.5 but it seemed to have started this week. Its Mr Hyde, a completely different bird. She is NUTS!! All I can say is... AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

munch Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 Her ways of finding her position in the flock currently include: --Chasing the dog around (she's a bully) --Chasing my dad (who also runs away) --Flying upstairs (we live in a downstairs apt. under my parents, there is a connecting door through two hallwayswhich is left open so the dog has a safe haven to go...she now flies upstairs if the door isn;t closed) --Sneaking into the kitchen and opening containers/boxes...successful twice until we caught her eating our food! --and diving off our shoulders to hang off our sleeves or back of our shirts upside down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenabrd Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 kallie was 2 1/2 when we rehomed her, so we missed the baby stuff. she's just about 3 1/2 now! she is quite the character, very brave about new toys and people, has some very definite "opinions" on things, and we love her to pieces!! we just wish she wasn't sooooooo stubborn and bull headed, lol!! i know that's a good thing for a grey in a way, but it's also a bad thing when it comes to teaching her how to step up! unfortunately, she was never taught that basic skill but was allowed to fly to her previous owner's head. kallie is learning, ever so slowly that isn't what she should do and is learning to land on the back of the chair. i know, she's still a very young lady and has many years to learn, its just hard sometimes to be patient!! i don't know if this is "terrible two" behavior and attitude or not. if so, hopefully in time it'll pass, but then i have a feeling, she'll be in puberty!! aarrggg, hahahaha!!!!

judygram Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I have not noticed any difference in Josey's behavior even at the 2 year old mark, I imagine it is as all other behaviors in that it has a lot to do with each individual bird and their personality.
