Wingnut4772 Posted March 29, 2014 Author Share Posted March 29, 2014 He's finally home, yay!! I want to resist the urge to keep him out all the time and show him the whole house. The bird shop guy said to only take him out for 15 minutes every 3-4 hours or so so he doesn't get spoiled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murfchck Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 What a cutie!! You can fight that urge all you want, but cuddle, love and enjoy because they grow up so fast and will end up being spoiled anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbersmom Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Amen to that. Like human babies, they don't stay babies long! Enjoy it while you can What a beautiful baby! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingnut4772 Posted March 30, 2014 Author Share Posted March 30, 2014 I hope he stays sweet. It's possible, right? I can hope? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbersmom Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Yes, he can stay sweet! Much like human kids though, that won't stop him from going through the terrible twos and the torturous teens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kins2321@yahoo.com Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Wingnut4772... stop doubting yourself! I knew NOTHING about a Grey when I first adopted her.They are like kids, and follow the same pattern of human children. I realized that quickly and set goals and expectations for her. I DO know... I would have trouble with a cockatoo, as they tend to " shred", with their beak... a grey clamps down. The only bite I ever got from Sophie, I had to squeeze my finger for the blood flow. My feelings were hurt! Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingnut4772 Posted April 4, 2014 Author Share Posted April 4, 2014 Lol. He's a brat that's for sure. Just like a baby! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brat Birds Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Adorable! Please - spoil to your heart's content! As long as you set some boundaries, time out with you will not spoil him - at least that is my opinion. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kins2321@yahoo.com Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Timeout with you... is the goal! Beautiful baby... spoil her and let her know how precious she is. She will tell you soon, how beautiful she is, and she MEANS it! Sean, my son was home, we were watching a movie together, they had a conversation going on. He asked her " do you know what vanity means?"LOL! Sophie LOVES herself, and I LOVE that she loves herself. Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inara Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Oh for crying out loud. Spending a lot of time doesn't spoil your bird, it builds a strong bond. Just be sure to pass your little guy off to others a lot so he socializes well, and make sure to give him plenty of time in his cage/home during the day so that he can rest and have private time to himself. This way he will learn to entertain himself when you are busy or not home. Keep to a general schedule of in and out times but don't be rigid. Just establish a rhythm to his days and you and he will both benefit in the long run with a healthy, bonded relationship. Make sure he gets plenty of sleep, even if you're tempted to keep him up late to hang with you. Sleep is important for health and temperament. You're doing great! Trust your instincts, and above all E N J O Y ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aerial.2000 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I think Marco totally is adapted to my schedule and she knows even if Im home later then usual, she still gets to come out of her cage before bedtime to spend time with me as well as playing in her toy box etc. I dont think there is such a thing as spoiling them to much tho, the HUGE tote of toys I have for her in the other room might suggest otherwise :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
