terryspear Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 This is a picture of Corey playing with my husband. John wraps her up in a t-shirt and bounces her above the bed in a birdie sling. She loves it: makes chicken sounds. It's only taken us 20+ year for her to be willing to be on her back. When we first got her [as an adult] she would NOT step up to our hand. It "only" took about 6 months before she was willing to come out of her cage onto our hand. Like you guys say: it's "grey time". 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greytness Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 So cute! She's very comfortable and trusting! There's definitely something to be said about 'grey time', that's for sure! My son does something a bit similar with Maalik. He'll pick him up, lay him on his back and then hold him up to his ear as if he's answering a phone. Maalik loves it! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neoow Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 That's adorable! Alfie never goes on his back- and I'd probably lose a hand if I tried to guide him. I can give him scritches on his head and neck but if I try to touch him anywhere else he isn't happy about it. I was hoping to be able to harness train him over the years, but I can't touch his wings so I don't think it'll ever happen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbersmom Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 Timber doesn't fight being on his back when he is in a towel. I value my digits too much to try for a scratch. Maybe I need to be braver! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talon Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 So cute! My greys would never allow that, but my amazon, LOVES it! She will grip my fingers & I swing her gently on my lap saying, "swing the baby!" She enjoys it for a while..until she doesn't, then you know what she does..bites to let me know she's done..:LOL 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
