Hi there to you all. Ive had my baby for 4 months now and just wanted to share a few thngs with you all. Odie is deffinitly my baby because im the one that has got alot more confidence and we adore each other and he/she knows that i want take any nonsence off him. My family lost confidence in the first month because he tryed his luck and won. My husband who looks like a bouncer would not come into the room with him out. We would have plenty of disagreements about the bird.lol. But over the last 2months or so they have all started to relax more even to the point when we play a game and the grey will fly down and basically ruin a game by pinching pieces etc and just standing on the board , there has been up and down hills for the family with him being here because he would play up against them.But i can say i think we got over the settling in period because the kids are no longer bothered by him and will give him a kiss in the morning when he puts his beak out and makes kisses sounds and plays with them.My husband will come in to the room and has started to communicate with him and has taught him to wolf whistle.He also pets him now and then so there is improvement.Also for the other animals ihave got i have to save the cavaliers and the xbreeds from the bird because he thinks he can land on them. The collie trys to clean the birds bum.lol.Having my baby grey has been a wonderful experience i have been a referee.Bird against family but everything is fine so far.The children alow him to get more envolved when they are on the pc and many other things but not quite confident to have him on their hands but only on their legs/head as long as it not showing skin.he left a little fear in them but they will get over it because they are regaining more and more confidence each day.He can talk to and he only six months old His words are 'hello' 'odie' or 'hello odie' and he can demand kisses just by mimicking kiss sounds.
