One morning she heard the carpet shuffling sound of her dog entering the bedroom and she sort of braced for the weight of her dog jumping up on her bed. But that jump never came. Nope, it was her TAG who had actually learned to mimic the carpet sound of a dog walking. Parrots are so attuned to such faint noises. Wild animals really have to assess and react to every single faint sound they hear for survival. Interesting to me. Snickers does make soft sounds sometimes, sounds like a door closing, the furnace kicking on, turning a burner knob off, oh, and dogs in the distance! All these sounds mimicked faintly and softly. So often I tune out some of these faint parrot sounds, much as I tune out the actual original sounds from around the house. My tag sleeps in a sleep cage in my bedroom, my others do not. When my spouse & I are talking too loud at night, she goes "SH SHSHSHSHS! then get mad & starts banging her bell loudly if we don't shut up! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbersmom Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 That's funny! Your TAG has taken on the parent role, telling you to quiet down and go to sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neoow Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Love the photos! I've never seen a TAG in real life before either. Are they much smaller than the CAGs? I think Alfie is on the larger size for a CAG. The vet always comments how big he is. He's a normal weight though- just larger in size than others they have seen I guess! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbersmom Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 From what I've found, CAGs run 350 to 650 grams and TAGs 250 to 375 grams. That's a pretty broad weight range, so Alfie is probably just on the bigger end. Timber is 272 grams, so he's on the small side of the TAGs.

SRSeedBurners Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 GreycieMae is around 480. She watches her 'figger' by eating salad (and anything else she gets her beak on). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbersmom Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Ha, well at least Greycie eats salad! Timber is convinced that it he eats anything green (other than peas) he will die... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
