pearllyn Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Just wanting to make sure that these little tantrums are quite normal for a grey! One minute he's playing away with one of his toys, or tucking into a snack, the next he's throwing a wobbly as if it swore at him! I try not to laugh, but it's a bit funny, it's hard not to! Just interested to hear all your experiences! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurie Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Yep, my birdie attacks his toys. They never see it coming I tell ya! It would have to be a pretty crafty toy to get the better of my bird... LOL Yes, it's normal. I believe my friend Dan here refers to this as "Grey Kung Fu." :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeatherStrella Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Oh yes!! Harrison has a ball with a bell in it. It hangs from the ceiling of her cage. She also has one hanging from her swing in her cage, the swing outside her cage and one on her play gym thingy...she just loves balls with bells. Anyway, she will play with it and play with it...all of a sudden it's been a bad boy and whammo it's being punished. She knocks it around a little bit and all of a sudden, the ball is a good boy now. lol. Harrison will back up to it and put her head next to it like she wants it to scratch her head. {Feel-good-0002006E}. She goes through these routines over and over...those balls must multiple personalities.

Tycos_mom Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Tyco does that she must fall off her play top at least once a day. She isn't big on hanging toy's but foot toys on her play top wow she attacks those big time all puffed up weaving back and forth and then look out that toys gonna die.:woohoo: I love to watch her play they really are alot of fun. I think Greys are the only birds that play like that my other birds play with there toy but they don't get mad and kill them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pearllyn Posted June 29, 2008 Author Share Posted June 29, 2008 Do you know, I've wanted a grey for sooooo long, but really , never could have imagined the pleasure and enjoyment we would get from him, and he's only been here little over a month!!

prrthead Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Talk about attacking their toys. My caique will beat the heck out of his toys. He stands on the top of his perch on the top of his cage and then jumps down on one of his toys just a screaming. He will then back up, give it one of those side looks and then bang he nails it again. You are right they are alot of fun to watch. I'm waiting for my Echo to do the same some day. Right now he just kindof watches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nychsa Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Bella gets so loud when she attacks her toys the dogs run out of the room! She lays on her back and beats them with her feet, biting, growling, and screeching - I think that would be enough to scare a whole pack of dogs away:laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
