CeasarsDad Posted June 6, 2007 Posted June 6, 2007 Hey Greylover.. Does your Grey whistle like your canary? I know when we had a love bird over for a visit Ceasar was calling just like the lovebird.. It was amazing..
greylover Posted June 6, 2007 Author Posted June 6, 2007 Well he does do bits of it.He is macking good progress because theses are the words he can say:Woof woof,meow meow,quack quack,hear kittie kitte,wolf whistels.He sings a little bit of his favorite song. LOL greylover i love lovebirds iv allways wanted one but i couldnt find one hear in spain so i got a canary (He's my little baby though)

dblhelix Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 I had a budgie named Lucky who passed last year. I had him for 13 yrs. Great birds they are. Amazing talkers and such personalities if you are willing to spend the time and work with them. Lucky easily had a 100+ word vocab and would fly to my hand on command. Generally an underrated bird and a total steal at ~ $15.00 US!!! B)
greylover Posted June 8, 2007 Author Posted June 8, 2007 oh im sorry dblhelix i know my mum had a talking budgie but it passed away. Its good to know someone has budgie as well as afrian greys!

I think of her with the same love and caring as I do Ceasar.. She is just as much a part of the family as any other living thing in the house.. <br><br>Post edited by: CeasarsDad, at: 2007/06/07 19:54
splint101 Posted June 8, 2007 Posted June 8, 2007 Nice pic this CD, but then again all your photos are fab....{Feel-good-00020069}
CeasarsDad Posted June 8, 2007 Posted June 8, 2007 Hey.. that was nice of you splint... Thank you.... I love Zena... too bad she has a short lifespan.. They only live about 5 years... Boy my heart is gonna break when that day comes..
Tari Posted June 8, 2007 Posted June 8, 2007 wow so cool. I know someone that has a pet blue jay. It talks and flies all about her house. Unfortantly cant take it to the vet if anything happens cause they well take it.
splint101 Posted June 8, 2007 Posted June 8, 2007 Damn CD that is bad about the life span of your birdie..

If they are confiscated guess what they do?... They KILL them.. It makes NO SENSE to me.. But this is in fact. When I raised Hercules.. our late European Starling, we didn't have a problem because Starlings are NOT native to this country.. They came from the Uk when someone released 180 pairs in central park NY.. Something to do with Shakespeare's writings.. They wanted all the birds written about by Shakespeare to be here in the US.. That's a true story. The Blue Jay is one of those birds that I would just love to raise as a hand fed baby.. They are so pretty.. but I also understand that they are also very agressive.. Not sure they would make good pets.. Here's an old shot of a blue jay I took many months ago.. I kinda like this shot myself.. <br><br>Post edited by: CeasarsDad, at: 2007/06/08 01:41
Guest Posted June 10, 2007 Posted June 10, 2007 Zena is beautiful B) And some birds should stay in the wild I think, so I personally have no problem with restrictions (Blue Jay).... I just love {Love-0002011E}wild birds...
greylover Posted June 10, 2007 Author Posted June 10, 2007 she is beautiful fairY.Id o agree with fairY that some birds shoould stay in thew wild. I used to have 2 budgies joey and bluey.(in england)But one day we was all sat at the table and we hear a noise and the cat knowcked the table from out side where they where because it was warm.And the door came open and one flew out but the other never.Anyway we moved to spain and so we give a friend joey.And he is still alive today.The man never puts them in a cage they fly aroung all day and they have food trays that they go to and eat. sorry about my spelling im in a bit of a rush lol.
CeasarsDad Posted June 10, 2007 Posted June 10, 2007 Of course wild birds should stay wild.. but there are times when a baby will be in distress. Falls from his nest.. Is laying there on the cold concrete.. wait to die.. So, being hand raised with Humans and becoming a part of a Human flock can't be a bad second choice.. Especially when death was looming.. The problem with hand raising most wild birds is that they bond to their human caregiver.. So once raised that can't be released into the wild. For one they didn't have their mother and father around to teach them how to be birds... Releasing a Human raised baby is a death sentence. Not only that but a cruel one. When that baby first tries to integrate back into the bird world the other birds will reject it.. They will die hungry and LONELY.. I don't know about you guys but I would rather die of hunger then to die of Loneliness.. Anyway.. I write this because some folks don't know this about baby birds.. So I pass on you you guys what I have learned in raising Hercules.. and Zena..
greylover Posted June 10, 2007 Author Posted June 10, 2007 Well you are right CeasaresDad.Iwould rather die hunger too. Thanks for that CeasaresDad
