I enjoyed this video and thought I would share it. It also drives home the fact that even our Greys are still wild and we need to treat them as such by giving them the best artificial environment in our homes as possible to meet their needs. Of course, we won't be releasing them to the wild and a grey flock though ...

Neat video! Now I don't feel so strange about some of the things I do to get Timber to try things etc.

It makes me so happy to see how far we're finally getting from caging animals in a cell. I think that's awesome!

Oh, I think most of us have done a thing or two ...or three ...or more. lol So don't feel like you're alone, there!

GreYt posts in regard treating our Greys and other birds like they are wild creatures, which they are.

 

I know we must keep them in the cage for their safety while we're gone. But, when we're home and not doing something that could put them at risk of harm. They are out, fully flighted and have many fun landing spots with toys, boings etc. to just be themselves as they would be in the wild... well as close as we can duplicate in our home.

 

Guests and some family members may think it's a little odd, but they just need to get over it, because we are not changing their privileges for anyone! Most company we have enjoys them, laughs at them and interacts with them.
