Re: Anyone with an African Grey Parrots
Touch wood....Ha Ha like the punch, my grey has not chewed anything as yet, i will not leave him unattended, if i leave the room he follows me everywhere so in theory he does not get the chance to chew, a friend of mine has been doing the pebbles in a plastic bottle and when ever he goes to chew she shakes the bottle at him and says dont chew, so far its working, i have only ever known that method in training dogs but its working so far with her boy.
I would cry my eyes out if my boys chews as we are in rented accomodation and thikn we would be evicted straight away lol. ![]() |

Re: Anyone with an African Grey Parrots
African grey parrots are great, when I met my partner she had one and talked me into letting her breed them, which is what we do now, well she does ... we have 18 breeders 3 pets and 2 blue front amazons ... oh and four kids, you can imagine how noisy our house!!

Re: Anyone with an African Grey Parrots
I have a 17 year old named Bingo. Unsure of sex, but we just call him a he. He is the most mischievous, intelligent pet ever--a regular home entertainment center. He makes upwards of 300 sounds, words and phrases. My favorites are "I'm naked" and "Got any food". He used to torture my former dog---I got them around the same time, and Bingo got all jealous, so he would tell Brodie he was a "bad dog" and try to bite him. He's mellowed with age and doesn't mind the new dog. Or the cats. In fact, he's quite tolerant of them and lets one hang out on top of his cage, so long as she doesn't try to play with his toys too much. He used to regurgitate for another cat I had---It was an inter-species love affair
.He also has what I call conversations with me. I suppose because he's learned what's appropriate as a response within conversations, he'll interject with "uh-huh" or "oh really". I doubt he understands what he's saying, but it's hilarious. He'll ring like a phone, say "hello", make some one-word responses, and then "ok, bye" and make the hang-up noise. He'll eat pretty much anything you give him, so long as it's not sweet. He hates fruit, but loves anything salty, especially junk food like crisps and chips. Oh, yeah, and like some other people mentioned, he burps. He tends to do that when he's happy--the Bingo Burp of Approval lol |
