I have an african gray and its a wkd bird
it always makes me laugh but does my head in cos it does the smoke alarms/phones/my kids crying/barks.
it says hello charlie everytime i go near it but i cant make it understand that its name is charlie not mine
it says lots of other things too
i got it at 15 weeks old and hand fed it with a spoon for a good few months now it loves me but hates the mrs witch is a shame as i got the bird for her.
the parrot is strange cos it likes men but not woman

Your bird must be female????? the reason it hates your missus is that it is atracted to you ( a male ) this is not sick ,,its true ,, my mate breeds parrots and these birds usually attack the same sex ( if you know what i mean ) as they sort of fall in love with humans of the oposit sex

Is it female ??? will sort of prove my mates theory

Hi

They pull out their feathers because they get bored ,its a common problem with any caged birds although budgies seem to do better..They cope better when they can be let out to fly in the house or if thier wings are clipped,at lease be allowed to walk about regulary,

She looks gorgous and they are great pets if treated badly, so mnay people do not know how to treat them...

The only way you can tell for sure if its male or female is for a vet to stick a thing up its BITS!!!! with a light to see its internal organs,..not very nice, we should be grateful for not being a parrot....

The feathers will grow back, but if its a boredom thing, she will only pull them back out again..Good lukc

She was verty stressed when we got her, she was very badly treated! soo yeah along with bored i think the stress factor caused her to pluck alot too!

They cope better when they can be let out to fly in the house
Shes out of her cage ALL day!! the only time she goes back in is when i go to bed or go out! she has a play stand too with toys n stuff on which she is really enjoying! she loves tormenting the dogs too!!

The only way you can tell for sure if its male or female is for a vet to stick a thing up its BITS!!!!
She had a blood test to determine her sex! we got a certificate to say she was female!

here is my baby can talk and curse for england
He's awesome! ive been told im not aloud to teach lill to swear!!! but then again, while hes out she might just pick up some bad language off the telly!
