I was just bored and thought I would post an udpate on Cagney, the CAG I adopted a few months ago. He quit plucking and is almost fully feathered and ready for a wing trim. He is really the opposite of what I hear is typical of greys. He is really needy and will climb down off the cage a hundred times in a row trying to come over to me no matter how many times I put him back. And he is by far the loudest bird I have ever had. I am amazed my neighbors don't hear him but somehow they dont. He mostly talks and whistles and stuff but has a few periods during the day when he really screams his brains out. The only time he is quiet is when he is eating. His vocab is so huge that he literally can have conversations with you. Strangely we talk a lot about the cats, he says: Nala, Little, kitty kitty kitty!, meoooow!, bad kitty, good kitty and c'mere ki-ki

He is a pretty darn even tempered bird and has only bitten me twice, both times were my fault lol. He is pretty sweet and is even starting to step up for a few of my friends. Now that the days are starting to get shorter his hormones are becoming less an issue and he is turning out to be a pretty good bird. Although sometimes I wonder if I will go deaf from the screaming, but then at least it will be peaceful! LOL

Awwww! He loves you. He sounds like a good bird. I'd like to have a grey. I have a friend who has one and his is a real clown.

sounds adorable got some piccys for us..

Would love to see some pics!

My Pop's CAG is like yours, constantly going through his sounds and words... It drives Mom nuts when she's watching her scary movies... Pop just gets up and walks out of the room when he does it and he eventually calms down .... It bugs Mom and she tells him to shut up, which winds ET up.... I keep warning her he's going to tell her to shut up if she keeps on. ET [CAG] barks like their dogs... and will start barking if the house is quite to get the dogs going. LOL I find it amusing, I guess cause I got lucky my birds are fairly quite with only occasional out bursts. Pop's laughs and tells me it looks like hes going to bring ET to me.... I think I bragged to soon, now Snippy and Peawee are telling each step up ... and Snippy just told him to Shake his booty....rolfmao.

Heyya Tara! Im just seeing this now...how are you?!
Its great to hear everythings going super duper with your CAG.
Having conversations with you that must be pretty great. And
hows Little doing?

Any news on Goofy? Awwwww Goofys in Paradise now lol The Happy ever after farm...

Yeah Goof is real happy. The last time I talked to that lady she said he had grown all of his feathers back and was flying around happily "somewhere in the midst of the big goffin flock" (18 birds) living happily ever after and keeping a far distance from any people who come near. I will get some pics up on Cag in the next few days

Little is great too He is still working on finding his spot in the pecking order but holds his own really well and is my social butterfly. He is immediately at the door before I even get there when he hears a knock and LOVES to meet new people, even kids. He is trumping all the steriotypes of the typical "monster bottle kitten", very independant and outgoing. I think growing up with my other kitties went far towards helping socialize him that way And of course we have a really special bond..I could never think of giving him up, I dont know what I was ever thinking, thinking I wasnt keeping him!! One problem I have with him, though, is that he will eat anything that even remotely smells like food, including napkins and wrappers etc. So I have to really watch myself about leaving that sort of stuff out

Thanks for the update, Tara!!! Glad to hear all the animals are doing well

thanks for the update. glad to see progress.

I didn't hear the original story, but I'm really glad things are going so well! Greys usually don't like me, so I admire them from a safe distance.
