Thanks. Shes a bit scruffy at the moment as she is moulting but also has a phobia of her own feathers. If she sees one of her down feathers she runs around screaming trying to hide from it. Shes got the vets tuesday for a health check, its costing me £100 to be anethatised checked over and chipped,but shes worth it.
So you have two breeding pairs of greys. Hope you have a good result.

Oh she is a lot of fun but also a handful. Its like having a toddler again, she is into everything including chewing my dressing gown to pieces( thats the pink material she is chewing).

lol greys are scared of their own shadow at times lol

ive a pair of congos and timneh

[suejr69]

Thats so true.i am always worried when she gets scared which is nearly always shes going to pull her feathers.i had her a month and went away for a week without her and since then she keeps over preening and chewed her wing and tail feathers off.i think its because i left her and because tvhe breeder clipped her wings aswell.

time for another one then i think lol get her a play friend

[suejr69]

Oh god no the noise would be too much for my neighbours.it would be nice for her to have a playmate,but i have also consider my husband who has asthma. Nina sees me as her partner and i wonder if thats a bad thing or a good because she only trusts me not the rest of the family.

my brother has an african grey called charley and the sounds he makes are amazing, funniest is when he makes the sound of a text message on a mobile phone, we all check our phones then realize it was charley

Nina does the ringing of the phone then she answers it by saying hello and then hangs it up by making the little connecting sound. We have to look at the phone to see if it is lighting up if it isnt we know its nina. She also whistles the mcdonalds theme at the end of the advert, wolf whistles with a really sexy round.
