Sanveaz Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Escher was on his playstand and I started running the dustbuster to clean the mess he made on the floor. Well it scared him and he flew off his stand and eventually ended up behind the tv. When I finally got him out all he wanted to do was snuggle with me. He's fine now but he and I were both a little scared with him back there with all the wires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danmcq Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Awwww, poor Escher. Greys can certainly be alarmed and react instantly to an unexpected sight or sound. Next time just tell Escher "Lets Vacuum" to prepare him. That's what I did for Dayo to let him know to prepare for that sound. Now when I get the vacuum out, he starts saying "Let's Vacuum!". If he is out he will fly to my shoulder so he can "help". I loved the comforting photos with Escher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelseaB Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Poor baby, Biscotti still does not like the vacuum, I have to put him in his cage or he will panic fly. I always warn him before I turn it on. Now he says "that's a vacuum, make a big noise. Don't be scared baby bird", but he still does get scared. I just try & talk to him while I am vacuuming, hoping one day it won't frighten him.

Timbersmom Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 We found a solution with time, though I don't know if it would work for others. When we get ready to vacuum, Timber would get excited and lunge at the vacuum. We gave him a hard plastic attachment (crevice tool) from a defunct vacuum. Throw that in the cage and he attacks it vigorously, which allows us to proceed with the vacuuming without his interference. After a time, he will be chewing on the attachment and even trying to scratch his neck with it. At any rate, it distracts him from the vacuum!

Kizzybird Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 (edited) Kizzy loves the vacuum and gets excited- does more talking when he hears it. He likes to sit on my shoulder when I vacuum each room. Maybe Escher will learn to enjoy it too! Edited May 10, 2013 by Kizzybird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
