Guest Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 Does anybody know what tail wagging means? I mean I know I always assumed with my other birds it meant they were happy. Is that the same as with greys?
danmcq Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 Welcome Pugsley!! Tail wagging basically indicates I'm content, I'm enjoying myself and feeling quite relaxed! It's always a happy sight! :-) Since your new here, why don't you do introduce yourself in the Welcome room so others know we have a new member? :-) We love to hear your stories and see photos of your Grey etc.!!
judygram Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 Dan is right, we do love to see our greys wag their tail for it means they are relaxed and content. Why don't you introduce yourself in the welcome room and tell us a little more about you and your grey.
Falconeer Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 Wagging is GOOD... but Bobbing up and down is BAD news.
Imme Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 Correct me if I'm wrong, but could it also mean he has to take a poop?
Falconeer Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 MAS: REad my post "GOOD NEWS!" Bobbing is a sign of BREATING PROBLEMS. Take it very seriosuly. I just lost Tonto today @ 11:30 PM. I tried all I could to help him. But death has no time set. When it is time, we humans can do nothing. Imme... Poop is more of a Couch and step back kind of a motion.
Imme Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 Falconeer, Sorry to here of your loss today. I am sure you tried your best to help him. Can you discribe the Couch position then?
judygram Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 Imme, I think Falconeer was meaning to say crouch, at least my Josey kind of does a sort of crouch while slightly backing up and that is the signal that a poop is about to drop. I'm sure yours does something similar just observe them for a while and you will see the body movements just before a poop.
Guest Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 Thank you to all of you who answered back. I would introduce myself, but don't know where the welcome room is. I guess Pugsley must be really really happy, cause he wags and flaps all the time!
judygram Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 Pugsley, just click on the forums tab on the top part of the home page, then the welcome room is at the top of the list, click on it and then click the post new topic that has a revolving red box next to it and you are there. Hope this helps.
siobha9 Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 Falconeer I am so sorry to hear about Tonto. I thought he was getting better. The poor poor baby. You must be devastated. I am thinking of you Siobhan

judygram Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 Yes it was FairY, very sudden and he was sitting on his shoulder at the time, I can't imagine how he must feel over the loss and there is not a thing he could have done for him to save him, such a loss and my heart goes out to him right now.
sandra902 Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 oh falconeer i am very sorry over tonto's loss. thank goodness he was with you at the time, a small comfort i am sure.
lovemyGreys Posted March 15, 2008 Posted March 15, 2008 falconeer that is so sad my prayers are with you x
mas Posted March 15, 2008 Posted March 15, 2008 Falconeer - We are so sorry to hear of the passing of your beautiful Tonto. We pray that you have strength and patience to deal with this tragic loss. Rest assured you did all that was humanly possible to protect and save Tonto. However; if something is meant to be, it will be... Our sincere condolences, Sameera and Ameen
judygram Posted March 15, 2008 Posted March 15, 2008 Falconeer has another grey now, a 9 week old baby that he is handfeeding right now, I wish him the best of luck with it:)
danmcq Posted March 16, 2008 Posted March 16, 2008 Very sad to hear of the loss of Tonto Falconeer. :-) It sounds like you have taken it in stride though, since you are now handfeeding a new baby Grey. I am sure Tonto will always have footprints on your heart though, as he does on ours.
