This may not be too amazing for those of you veteran CAG parents, but I've only been Chico's "mom" for a couple months, and he's my first grey. Anyway, he has a hard cardboard ring chew toy that is suspended from a perch by a leather thong, so that he can play with it (read destroy it) from the floor of his cage. Yesterday, I was watching him play. He sat on his perch (its a couple feet from the floor), reached down and pulled the thong upward with his beak, reached out and held it with his foot, then repeated the motion until he lifted the ring all the way up to the perch. I thought that indicated that he has pretty good problem-solving capabilities.
As I said, this may be common CAG behavior, but I was impressed! What a clever boy.
