pearllyn Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Thanks everyong for all the great stories regarding hissy fits - I have another wee queerie though! Alfie gets distracted soooo easily! I'm sure it's quite natural for a young bird, but will he grow out of it and be able to concentrate on one thing for more than 3 seconds, or is that greys for you?! Interested to hear your views - byee for now. Lyn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave007 Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Tell me something, just how were you able to measure the attention span of a paper clip? Share your methods and secrets please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL, actually I think Greys (when very young) have the attention span of a gnat. They do grow out of it, almost to the point where that can become obsessed by anything that interests them.

Anmlhggr Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 My CAG, woody, pays a lot of attention to me when he is away from his cage....if we're in sight of it though...well, then we're back to paper clip attention span Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Well now you bring up another interesting subject, I know firsthand that knats have a long attention span, I have been pestered to death by them, they are keen on making you miserable and they don't give up.:angry: :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I agree, a young baby grey just buzzes around from one interesting thing to the next. It all new, exciting, scary and strange. They do grow out of it though, as you asked Lyn. Just enjoy those precious baby moments and laugh. The just don't last long enough and soon you will be missing them. :-) Dave - I suspect it is the length of time for the Grey to move the distance of the gap of a paper clip. Zip....... NEXT item!!! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave007 Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Judy "" I know firsthand "" So, I assume that in your spare time you're involved in scientific research involving the lengthy attention span of gnats. That's very interesting. It's about time that a person such as yourself finally turned this silly thread into something substantial where we can all learn from someone who has first hand experience. Gnats draw lots of interest in today's upper society but so far, everything that been said is just rumor and opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Post edited by: pearllyn, at: 2008/07/01 12:16 Dave007, sorry that my "silly" thread upset you. It was a valid question to me, and I just tried to put it across in a light-hearted manner. Thanks to all of you who gave a helpful answer - much appreciated to this newbie!<br><br>Post edited by: pearllyn, at: 2008/07/01 12:17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Please don't take offense to Dave's post, he is making jokes as usual and sometimes it is not in a light-hearted manner but Dave knows his birds if you have read some of his other posts he has made. Dave has a weird sense of humor sometimes but he's all heart:kiss: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pearllyn Posted July 1, 2008 Author Share Posted July 1, 2008 Thanks Judygram, I have to admit I can be a wee bit too sensitive sometimes! I'll be fine once I get to know everyone! Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
