Reply With QuoteYep, my birdie attacks his toys.
They never see it coming I tell ya!
It would have to be a pretty crafty toy to get the better of my bird...
LOL
Yes, it's normal. I believe my friend Dan here refers to this as "Grey Kung Fu." :laugh:
Just wanting to make sure that these little tantrums are quite normal for a grey! One minute he's playing away with one of his toys, or tucking into a snack, the next he's throwing a wobbly as if it swore at him! I try not to laugh, but it's a bit funny, it's hard not to! Just interested to hear all your experiences!

Oh yes!! Harrison has a ball with a bell in it. It hangs from the ceiling of her cage. She also has one hanging from her swing in her cage, the swing outside her cage and one on her play gym thingy...she just loves balls with bells. Anyway, she will play with it and play with it...all of a sudden it's been a bad boy and whammo it's being punished. She knocks it around a little bit and all of a sudden, the ball is a good boy now. lol. Harrison will back up to it and put her head next to it like she wants it to scratch her head. {Feel-good-0002006E}. She goes through these routines over and over...those balls must multiple personalities.

Lol, I don't know what to say - maybe Alcazar has grown out of his tantrum days!!

LOL - They are hilarious when they "Get Bad" and attack their toys. :-)
Within all of us is a varying amount of space lint and star dust, the residue from our creation. Most are too busy to notice it, and it is stronger in some than others. It is strongest in those of us who fly and is responsible for an unconscious, subtle desire to slip into some wings and try for the elusive boundaries of our origin. ~K.O.

Elmo gets so into attacking his toys he has fallen off his perch! He calmly will clime up the cage, get back on his perch and then all of hells furry is released again!!!
Tyco does that she must fall off her play top at least once a day. She isn't big on hanging toy's but foot toys on her play top wow she attacks those big time all puffed up weaving back and forth and then look out that toys gonna die.:woohoo: I love to watch her play they really are alot of fun. I think Greys are the only birds that play like that my other birds play with there toy but they don't get mad and kill them.
Do you know, I've wanted a grey for sooooo long, but really , never could have imagined the pleasure and enjoyment we would get from him, and he's only been here little over a month!! Precious!
