What a beautiful bird! I just love the wide-eyed innocence of a baby. They have such soft loving faces. I'm hoping to have a name picked out for my grey BEFORE I pick it out (my poor conure was simply 'Bird' for the first six months due to my indecision). I've narrowed the list to something like 25 names  . |

hi spooky and lidia, well its getting worse, i can't decide, i was told by the breeder she was definatly a girl by her light grey colouring and head size but now i have read in books thay you cant be sure unless you dna test, so i have taken to callin her tootsie just in case we are wrong he he .......lol  no really i cant decide ,everything i like some one says to me no not that etc... so for now she is still just birdie , she has taken a huge liking to blueberries, and everynight before bed she gets wrapped in her fleece blanket and goes asleep on my lap for a while, she keeps putting her beak on my fingers as if she were going to bite , but she is very gentle and doesnt bite just kinda nibbles and press's her tongue against my fingers ?? any one know what this is ? suzanne |

Suzanne, It's just exploration. The tongue is sort of like an extra hand or finger for a parrot. It's perfectly normal behaviour and, in fact, a good sign since she (or he) is sure enough of you to explore. As to the baby's gender, well, I am STILL unsure about whether Joshua's a boy or a girl and I've had him almost sixteen years! Jane suggested a while ago that he looked quite female in a photo I posted and ever since then I've been seeing him as both male and female. Sometimes he is so male looking and squarely built, I have no doubt he is a male. Then again, when he is preening, he can look very female. I know I could get him sexed to find out but I don't think it would make any difference to either of us knowing his real gender. I suppose, I might have chosen a more androgynous sounding name if I had any doubt when I named him. Lidia  |

You could always choose something that would fit a boy or girl. Some of the ones I'm thinking of are Skyler (or Schuyler), Teagen, and Logan. I've seen all 3 on both boys and girls.

If it makes you feel any better nicola, greys can change their favorite person when they hit maturity.
