I have a Timneh Grey called "Timmy" (original huh). He loves me but is a complete nightmare with anyone else, my mum insists he goes back in his cage when she visits as he dive bombs her.

I swear he thinks it's funny because he seems to make a beeline for her and when she walks past his cage he deliberately bashes the crap out of his toys lol

do they give off dust!!! ... you wanna see our place especially out in the breeders ... dust city, I have to wear a mask when I go out there!!

I will be back! i need to fight the BIG "C" atm!

I have just brought an african grey baby he is 13 weeks old now and an absolute gem we all love him to bits, i am wondering when do they start to be more vocal, my Charlie is so quiet he has the odd moment where he has a whistle outburts but nothing much, he whistles for 5 minutes then falls asleep lol.
Any info on behaviour and what not plz tell me.

xx

Trachelstud, you grey is still very much a baby, so will have active periods during the day followed by sudden and quick 'cat' naps.

He will become more vocal with time once he settles down to his new enviroment, but be careful what you wish for because unfortunately they do not come with a mute button or volume control lol. However not every parrot learns to talk.

I have a congo african grey called Izzy who will turn 3 on 16th of May. She's always chuntering during the day and can mimick both our phones at the same time

We also have a grey, called Jazz, along with 3 conures, 2 hahns, a senegal, 2 celestes, 2 love birds, 5 budgies, 4 finches, 4 canaries and 6 quials PHEW!!

Jazz is our baby, we had him at 16 weeks old, and hes know nearly 9 months old. He is so funny. he whistles the adams family, says hello, you alright, what ya doing, Alfie!! - my dog lol, give us a kiss - he learnt this off the hahns, and loads more, i can't think of at the mo.

We have been warned though, that greys don't normally start talking until 12 months, and if they do start early, you can't shut them up!

As for food, i bought a parrot mix where the sun flower was already shelled, it stop them from picking it first, but it was very expensive £22 per 9kg, but my local pet shop, makes a parrot mix for me, without sunflower, its till more expensive than the normal, run of the mill, parrot food, but they are worth it.

Mine all eat fruit, and veg, but do like theirs nice biscuits around 3ish! Naughty i know, but they don't have a lot.
