jbsmomto1 Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Does anyone have a video of a grey playing and making sounds that are not words, but general grey noises...I am trying to decide what the noise he makes at his toys in in fun or if he is ticked off.

Ray P Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 There is nothing like the noise a grey makes when they are playing with their toys. It sounds like a fight going on ,but they are having fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's "The Attack of the Pterodactyl" Remember, parrots won't be domesticated [like dog's cat's and husbands] for over 200,000,000 years, their still wild...

Wingy Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Hanging upside down by one toe nail, shaking and or biting the offending object and screaming like someone is pulling on their tail. Yup its play time. Just wait until you yell "you better hold on tight" and you get laughed at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chezron Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 I think the "pterodactyl noises" are the only true grey sound Brutus makes. I wish he made them more often because he seems to forget who he is and gets lost in being a wild African Grey, and that makes me happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake does it quite often but he's a baby still. I try and encourage hard play. He takes great joy in standing on his boing, flapping his wings, and screaming while the boing goes in circles.

kitt4kaz Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Felix doesn't make the pterodactyl noise much. However, the first time he did, I shouted, "Oh my God" and ran to him. He was on top of his cage and I just knew he had gotten his leg stuck or something. He just looked at me like I was crazy and went back to playing. Scared me to death!

chezron Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Brutus is more of a sedate gentleman. He has a wild period in the afternoon, but most of the time he eats, gets scratches, or is sitting talking, or sitting staring off into space grinding his beak. I only hear the wild noises about once a month. He is getting hormonal and willful now so I expect to see more incidences of bravado pretty soon. I just think Greys are all so different. He is not hyper or nervous at all like I see in other greys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingy Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Jake does it just because its fun. He'll be on one of his boings, bend over and grab onto another section of the boing, and flap his wings with every ounce of strength he has while screaming his head off. After a minute or so he'll stop to look around before starting it again. It happens almost every day but not always at the same time or on the same boing.

kitt4kaz Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Brutus sounds a lot like my Felix, chezron. He is fairly quiet most all of the time. He will cluck at his toys when he is playing with them but most of the time he sits and preens or sleeps. I videoed him yesterday for about 2 hours while no one was at home. He sat in his cage and chattered to himself for a good 45 minutes. It was hilarious. He was definitely talking but I couldn't make any of it out. He doesn't do this when we are home though.

Mickeys Mom Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Mickey also goes crazy when he plays with his favourite toy. I usually put him outside in the Aviary during the warm summer days and every now and again he screetches and screams whilst attacking the toy hanging upside down. I got such a fright the first time this happended i almost fainted thinkis he was hurt or something bit him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
