SRSeedBurners Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 First off - sorry about the length of the video. I made it while multi-tasking at work, so not a lot of time to 'cut the fat'. Plus I primarily made it for family that want to see Greycie and I know they would prefer a longer video. I also screwed up and pitched the originals so now I've lost the ability to edit any further....big dummy. Someone in another thread asked about getting a bird to lay on their backs. Greycie WAS NOT a bird who naturally wanted to lay on her back and let me play with her. However, she would hang from her tree/boing/ropes etc so I knew I had something to work with. One day she slid down the front of my shirt and just hung there. I knew that was my chance. I cupped her, and got her to release her talons, then I did the naughty-naughty, I rolled her red tail over and there she was laying in my hand. My thumb got bit good! REAL good!!!! And I didn't learn my lesson either because I kept at it daily. This is the end result. She now LOVES LOVES LOVES to play on her back with me. She will even fly onto the back of my chair and nip at my ear trying to get my hand. Once she gets my hand she will pull it over on top of her and I help flip her, then the wrestling starts. Sometimes she will still get nippy if something happens that scares her while we're birdy wrestling. All of this video is taken on top of the fridge...her absolute favorite place to play and watch what's happening in her kitchen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katana600 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Wow she is really outgoing and playful. I loved that video, she is delightful and clearly loves the excitement and interaction with you and your family. I laughed until tears were coming down my face. When I laughed, both my parrots laughed. Then they were whistling and wanting to join Greycie's fun. Gilgirl would have a heart attack if I tossed a bottle cap to her... someday she may get to be so playful. Thanks for your video. It was a great collection of happy times.

Luvparrots Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Great video. Not sure who is having more fun Greycie or the parronts! My greys have destroyed the rubber around my ref/freezer top. You are lucky Greycie is more interest in fun not destruction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffNOK Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Lol!! What fun! Your grey has such a joy of life! My CAG is so different. She does the occasional dinosaur screech when playing with toys--but it is rare. I think I compared her to a school librarian in another post. Thank you so much for sharing. Such fun to watch.

kins2321@yahoo.com Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 I LOVED the video! I also saw the bite coming! LOL! Greycie bit out of excitement, but I LOVED you telling her you weren't happy and moved on.( the learning moment was there, and she changed her behavior). You guys are naturals! She doesn;t scare or imitate you, and those are the building blocks to a fantastic relationship. Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muse Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Wow! That looked like a lot of fun. It is good to see a family having fun together like that. The teenager appears to be more of a handful than Greycie is, hehe. Good luck with that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
