danmcq Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 LOL - It sounds like every Grey has it's own personality just like us Humans. :-) Tari - Taking off your shirt with your Grey attached must be one funny sight :-) No wonder you don't shoulder him! Lovemygreys - That's what your head is for, to accommodate the third Grey ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makena Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Makena is ALWAYS on our shoulders... and when my fiance and I give each other a hug he loves to run back and forth between the 2. We will get a little ear nibble every now and again but nothing hard... and we always stop him right away. I think for the most part he is in awe of watching us do things and kind of just sits there paralyzed! I do notice he is learning to balance very well by hanging out on our shoulders. At first we were putting our hand up to hold him on if we needed to bend over but now he can see how we move and will correct to keep from falling off. Smart bird! We do have to take him off about every 15 minutes or so and have him poop. He refuses to poop on us so I make sure he goes because I worry he will hold it in too long!! The minute I set him in his cage, he goes, then it is right back on the shoulder!! And yes I do know how lucky we are.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tari Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 My amazon is the same way only I have to put him back in his cage for him to poop. He just wont poop at all if I am holding him. My grey on the other hand well poop on my face if he is up on my head. :woohoo: That is so fun. Ya right. :dry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toni Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 As a new owner soon I'm not going to allow the shoulder until we know each other better and see how his attitude will be and how he will adjust to my rules and how I will adjust to his rules. Im listening to the be safe than sorry and I surely dont want an eye patch and I love wearing pierced ears and dont want to lose my ear. haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 For your situation, Toni, you have made the best decision, if you continue to wear earrings then shoulder sitting will definitely be out. For he will go for them right off the bat, which is why I won't wear mine at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EyeZashun Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Binti has never been a problem wilst sitting on my shoulder. She has on occasion nipped my ear because I was dozing off and not, of course, paying her the attention she so richly deserves because it's all about her...lol. As far as using a towel; many of you REALLY need to potty train your birds. It's sooo simple, especially with the intelligence of our greys.

shanlung Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 What I will give to have Tinkerbell to poop onto my back or anywhere on me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Hi Shanlung!! Your Tinkerbell was and is special to those of us also that have read the story and view the images on your website. I still go there, just due to the beauty and inspiration I find in it. I can not imagine the pangs in your heart when you think of her, but please know I hurt for you also. It's just so sad you two can not somehow reunite. :-( Thanks for posting!! Don't be such a stranger. You are a deep well of knowledge that we can all learn from!!!
