she Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 Ok we all know greys chew but Charlie is so distructive.Today he chewed up the lap top charger which cost me £50 to replace. I have lost count of the sky plus remotes he has killed at £25 a time,My leather setee is in tatters as well as my nerves and bank ballance. I have also taken down the curtains and only have blinds because he used them as a swing.IS HE THE FORUMS MOST DISTRUCTIVE GREY. I am sure you will all chip in with your own stories of vandalism.
judygram Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 I keep my Josey away from anything that is valuable that can tear up, I either distract her with something else or take it away, I know I am a mean mommy but someone has to do it.:angry:
she Posted May 12, 2009 Author Posted May 12, 2009 I do try that Judy,honest. He is so fast.I am thinking of getting him an asbo.For those in the us thats an anti social behavior order which is given to unruley teens by the courts.
casper Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 Okay, here goes! Lap top charger! Voile net curtains! Wooden doors and casing! Wooden ornaments! telly remotes! Mobile phones! Wallpaper! Dado rail! Light fitting! Clothes! Leather chairs at dining table! Picture frame! Gold chain! Ankle bracelet! Laptop! Sheila, great thread! Dave is watching as I am typing and shaking his head! I need a bigger house with a birdroom lol! If their is an ASBO for destructive parrots, mine should definetly get one as well as community service.:evil:
she Posted May 12, 2009 Author Posted May 12, 2009 Thanks for reminding me Caroline about the mobile phone and door frames,oh and wood picture frame,that ended up like match sticks.
Joolesgreyuk Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 :laugh: We've had Beau for 5 weeks tomorrow and the first day we had him he chewed through my bracelet and we quickly realised he had a thing for jewellery which I try not to wear except if I'm going out. He also goes for remote controls which we also try to keep away from him so luckily he hasn't destroyed anything except the bracelet. Things he has crapped over though, well that's another story :ohmy:
she Posted May 12, 2009 Author Posted May 12, 2009 Yes I cant count the things that have been pooped on.Its early days for you yet so just you wait till Beau starts earning an asbo.
casper Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 Julie, you should start a thread on that lol, I bet there would be a few good laughs on there!:laugh:
Marauder Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 clothes, watches, blinds, desks, chairs, computers, fingers, toes, books, cables of all sorts, CDs, checkbook, bills... If it's within beak's reach it's fair game.
judygram Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 I can hear it now, a new excuse for not turning in homework, "but my grey tore my homework up, really she did":laugh: :woohoo: :laugh:
lovethatgrey Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 {Feel-good-00020114}Emma is very not destructive.She's never destroyed anything that wasn't meant to be destroyed and when she does destroy..it is only her toys She pretty much destroys like a little lady. She prefers to hang upside down, climb and swing wildly! I think I expected her to be alot more destructive and I admit that alot of how Emma is and what she does, goes against alot of what I read about greys.

Tycos_mom Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 Well Half the natural wood in my house has been chewed, my kitchen cupboards doorframes, walls I have a hole upon top and behind my kitchen cabnet that is at least 18in in diameter thank goodness you can't see it the walls they have tried but I put a stop to that pretty quick before I had holes everywhere. As I type this Tyco is working on the trim around the bay window where her cage is again thank goodness its just the trim its not to much to replace now my Kitchen cupboards thats a whole other story Im going to have to find my a rich man or win the lottery to fix what they have destroyed. oh well nobody see it but me and I can live with it.
Toni Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 The only thing Alcazar took a bite of was my fuji digital camera. I went too take a close up, he lunged for the lens and started to pull it off.He broke the protective cover part too
Luvparrots Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 Ana Grey chewed on the gold chain to my crucifix the first day she was home. Never did find the gold chain!!! Broke my heart But she has made up for doing that a thousand fold!!!
Azzie Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 Wow Cleo seems very tame in comparison here. She's chewed her wooden toys, and tore some strips of my computer chair, which is old and tatty anyway, so I just let her do that. Cleo just prefers to sit quietly and observe the world go by. I don't know if that's because she is so young still?
Partner316 Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 Partner, when he was at the pet store would always go over to the rodents cages and bite holes in their water bottles and proceed to knock them onto the ground and all the water spilled out. I think 8-12 bottles were destroyed. He has also torn holes in a few shirts of mine, but I have pretty much got him to stop by the quick "I'm not happy with that" look or a really quick firm "hey!"
Jane08 Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 Here is the list. I also swear they tag team us, one distracts us while the other destroys something. -Chewed the curtains off in the kitchen -Chewed through the cable to the roof light (was not plugged in) -Swings from the living room roof lamp (had to remove it) -Flies to the standing lamp and chews the lampshade -Climbs down the living room curtains to chew the cords to the blinds -T-shirs have been chewed -Books -Climbed down the shower curtain to the shower head and chewed the rubber bit off - Climbed down the shower curtain to the bathroom sink and chewed the toothpaste -Chews the doors frames, actaully hangs from them and chews. -Chewed the wood off the cupboards in the kitchen -Lands on the back of the kitchen chairs which are wood and chews the back of them. - Chewed through the black out blind in the bedroom. - Tries to chew the couch, but I am having none of that and place a blanket on the back of the couch where they perch and they chew the blanket instead. -Chewed the tassles off the couch cushions. I am sure there is more, I swear you have to have eyes in the back off your head. I am lucky in one way, Rangi actually tells me when he is up to something so usually I can race out in time to stop him.
Mollysmum Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 Mali has destroyed and chewed My clothes My Wedding Ring!!!! The leather Couch Buttons My Jeans Sky remote Mobile
Natasha Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 Here goes: gold chain earings watch tellie remoteS clothes wooden doors shower got little plastic thingies - Gone@@ my leather couch my plastic flowers - decorations my wooden table and the list goes on - and on When his out and about and is very QUIET I KNOW SOMETHINGS UP!!!!!
she Posted May 12, 2009 Author Posted May 12, 2009 Oh I know what you mean.If Charlie is quiet it means trouble. I feel a bit better now knowing other greys are just as bad as Charlie.I think he has got a lot more distructive as he gets older,he is six now.I tried the blanket on the couch trick and the little monster just chews through the blanket till he gets to the leather.He is out in the aviery at the moment so he cant do too much damage out there,I HOPE.:lol:
Natasha Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 Lol also tried the blanket no luck he evens chews on his own blankets so I think he is making him self airvent holes for his blankie but that means Mom's gotta get a new one soon:P
danmcq Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 A Parrots Motto is "This Beaks made for chewing and thats just what I gonna do and if you can't handle this, I'm not for You!!". :-) I will not list all the things Dayo has chewed.....it would be too long and I can't even remember them all. :-)
