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.

I have 2 in seperate cages but they are out of the cages all the time.
1 has never talked much and at over 30 yrs old he is unlikely to start now
the younger one never stops talking.
My sister also has 2 greys they have 2 cages but they always share a cage on a night,both talk none stop and always have done.

Having an African Grey in the house is the equivalent of a five year old child although they are more intlligent the parrot I mean

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
