jimmycoop2005 Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 I was messing with Cosmo just playing the "Get'cha game" and he started moving around really fast bobbing his head and attacking me. He was getting kind of ruff as far as biting wise. I think he was playing?? I would slow my hand down and pet his beak and head and he calmed down. Was I making him mad or was he playing? I know other animals can get ruff i.e. cats and dogs when you are playing with them, but I wasn't sure if Greys do too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Yes they can Jimmy, they get overexcited and play ruff, you may need to back off a bit and let him calm down so he doesn't bite you badly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NerfGunWarHero Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I have heard cockatoos get over excited playing very easily. I am sure greys can too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 LOL Jimmy!! Yes, if you start rough housing with them, they do get into the game and do what they do best.....use their beak. :-) I play "get psycho" with Dayo because I love watching him duck and weaver then take his action...run....bite...grab with Talon etc......BIG FUN!!!

BMustee Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Mine does the bobbing and weaving when he really gets going but he has learned that he must be very gental with his beak. We play "Gotcha beak" and "Eat yo' face" and thats when he gets all crazy. He will grab my fingers with his beak but will only use a tiny bit of pressure...he'll do it to my face too, but will only drag his beak across my cheek...never bites. In time he should learn too, just let him know when he is doing it too hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannah_Rae Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I am so excited to play these games. countdown: 3 days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nychsa Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 We play getcha feets, belly, tail, wings, and beak. Bella really gets into it and while she does get a little rough, if I say "ouch, ouch, ouch" she turns gentle really fast. She's started saying 'ouch ouch' now too, but I think she's faking it (mostly when Jiggy is around her). Cheers! Terri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patsyrat Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Smokey gets wild and sometimes rough when playing. He especially goes crazy over his hanging bells; hangs upside down and dive bombs them like crazy. Sometimes he holds the bell in one toe, tips his head to the side and gives the bell a real pupil-dilating look (I call it "the eye") and then BAM! he attacks. If I don't move my hands out of the way, he'll nip me too in his excitement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurie Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Klaus attacks his toys pretty wildly. Also, with me, if I think he's in the mood, I say, "Wanna rassle?" and I put my hand on his back and shake him around a bit (very gently). He seems to enjoy it!
