itsjustnikki Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Until tonight I don't think that I have ever seen Tango dig. Does anyone else's Grey do this? He went to the bottom of his cage started ripping the paper and digging at the same time. (I don't have a grate at the bottom) He did this for like 10 minutes and then stopped when my boyfriend started talking to him. I just find it strange that I haven't seen him do this ever before.

Jayd Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 LOL..This is normal, in the wild a Grey cleans their nest, their good house keepers....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsjustnikki Posted January 30, 2013 Author Share Posted January 30, 2013 Thanks Jayd! Well maybe he should learn to clean the rest of his nest aka my house because he seems to leave a mess everywhere he goes. I didn't realize that was what he was doing. I wonder why he hasn't done it before in front of people. I didn't think it was anything medical because he is acting fine, it was just so weird.

Jayd Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Remember, Greys are still wild animals, in something over 200,0000 years they might become domesticated, even so it's amazing they know these things from heredity. Being that you keep their nest/home clean, their not as inclined to clean it on their own. With time you'll be surprized at what your baby will do from their natural instinks...

kitt4kaz Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Felix has always been a digger. Freaked me out the first time I saw him do it. He only does it when we are home and he is in his cage and wants out. I've videoed him numerous times when we are away and he doesn't do it. It's only if he is in his cage and he knows we are nearby.

aw64 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Alfie does this on the bottom of his cage always has, but the funnyest sight is when he stands on perch and uses one leg to dig in thin air, almost like his trying to dig out of the cage.

kins2321@yahoo.com Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 aw64 lol! Alfie is a riot! Sophie also digs. Just never in her cage. She digs when she is on the carpet in the family room. I never understood this. Thanks Jayd! Reminds me of a charging bull. Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Josey usually only digs when she is in her cage but occasionally she will do it on the playtop, she doesn't do it as often as she used to but it is funny to watch her do it, its just natural grey behavior.

kins2321@yahoo.com Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Sophie continues to dig alot on the carpet, in family room. It is one of her favorite things to do. Glad to understand the behavior finally. Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
