how much time, in average, do you spend with your parrot?
Hey, at least you've the continent right. Your sennie is beauytiful!
All in all too bad the senmegal group is not more active...
I love the poicehps also and have a Meyer's and a red-respectively belied. (8 of my 14 parrots are africans of one sort or another - just one grey though.)
I spend almost all day everyday with my birds. That doesn't mean they are on me, but they are out of the cages and in the same room with me. If I go to put away laundry or something I just tell them I will be back. I do not respond if the U2 screams, but I will whistle or talk back if they are just making "contact" calls. If I am going to the store or the barn, I tell them that also and they know that means it is time to go in their cages. Many times they just climb in by themselves and the Grey will even shut the door.
I don't know how much they understand, but I always explain where I am going and for how long. Dusty's usual answer is, "O.K., see you later."
:wink: I am soooooooo glad to see that i am not the only one who takes the birds to work with them. I have 2 grey's and 7 cockatiels and 4 parakeets. But then again I own my own business
You'd be suprised for the number of people taking their pets with them to work...
I even heard of someone that takes his snake. :shock:
I can handle almost anything but snakes...well maybe spiders goes in the same catagory....ABSOULTY NOT...
7 cockatiels, 4 parakeets, and the latest addition...2 harqueline macaws.and these guys make my temi look like a baby in the bitting area. :shock:

:shock:
Hi there, I have a bird shop in the Gulf Breeze FL and right now, I have five Congos that have been weaned for a month or more. Of course, they are all making cute sounds, but I haven't personally heard many of them say much of anything other than their ramblings as they nap midday. BUT, yesterday, I offered my hand to one of them to set up, and he/she pleasantly surprised me with "Let's Go!" I was shocked! I have no idea from who/where he heard that! Since, he is talking now...to my face and not behind my back...I want to build on it...what is the BEST way?
