JeffNOK Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Here is a video of Gracie opening up and pulling out her foodbowl. I'm sorry that my voice is in the background, but I was on the phone with someone when I saw Gracie going for foodbowl door and I didn't want to be rude to the person I was chatting with. Enjoy! http://s1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee371/JeffNOK/?action=view¤t=Houdini001.mp4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mistyparrot Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Thanks for the video. Gracie looks so determined. Very clever parrot. Of couse if she was really smart she would have gone in through the open door;) Steve n Misty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chelseaB Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 What a cutie! She is a beautiful baby & obviously very loved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffNOK Posted February 15, 2012 Author Share Posted February 15, 2012 She is very loved. As for her going in through the open door--well it was getting close to "night night" time and Gracie hates bed time and was worried I might lock her in if she went inside her cage. So I think she was quite crafty in getting her food without risking incarceration! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray P Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 It is very hard to stay one step ahead of a grey. I have been trying for eleven years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kins2321@yahoo.com Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 She's a doll, well adapted, and has a " sure sense of herself !" GREAt job! I LOVED the video.Don't worry about them accepting bedtime. They eventually get it, when you tell them it is time for bed, follow up consistently, they learn.

JeffNOK Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 She definately has a strong sense of herself. I am beginning to see that as a blessing, though. I think she is happy and confident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chezron Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 She is so young and so smart now. Does that scare you? Wow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffNOK Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 lol--I'm not scared yet.....I think I'm excited that with a grey's intelligence we will be able to bond in a deep way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kins2321@yahoo.com Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 JeffNOK... you will be able to bond in a deep way. The strong sense of " self", is always a blessing, and is probably one of the most important traits I encourage. All Greys think they are important, but if they have a " strong sense of self", they are able to take it one step furthur! They are certainly leaders, but they learn what " responsibility" means. Sophie gets this! When Max my 18 year old Lhasa was ready to hand over the " reins" to Sophie, when she was four years old, I was unimpressed! I knew he was grooming her, for the position. I doubted her ability. He liked her, the moment she walked in the door. He was right. She has done an excellent job. Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katana600 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Gracie is such a charmer, I had to go through all the videos and photos. That made me smile all the while. On the second video when she was flapping her wings, I was wondering what the plastic stuff on the wall was all about. Then, I watched her traverse the picture frame and saw that you have taped it down so she doesn't have a surprise crash landing. You are a considerate daddy. Gracie is adorable. Thanks.

JeffNOK Posted February 19, 2012 Author Share Posted February 19, 2012 LOL--Yes I tape the picture down almost every day becuase she pulls off the tape. It is secured to the wall with bolts at the top--but he bottom is more vulnerable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdhouse Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 lol Oh she is going to be a handful! Looks like you're really going to need to keep Gracie's cage stuffed w/enough toys to keep her from thinking up her own amusements. I've had cages w/that type of latch & they aren't great. If this becomes a problem, you can go to the hardware store & get a couple of dog snaps, like on the end of leashes. Nickel plated or stainless are okay. But avoid the electro-galvanized ones because they're zinc plated. She shouldn't be able to open it once you work out how to clip together a bar on the door & cage. While you're there, you might also save yourself some effort w/Gracie's favorite hanging toy uhhm frame. You could pick up a little hanger wire & eyebolt kit for a couple of dollars. If you add this to the bottom, you can limit how much she can pull the picture away from the wall & have a second weight bearing point for support.
