The headthrowing in that way is a display of discomfort, no he does not like the train, I'm sorry. Certain sounds cause that reaction for them. I have had an African Grey for 17 years, know that reaction.
Perhaps it can be a sign of either interest or discomfort. We've had CAGs for about 10 years and our experience with all has been that some head shaking is common. Often learning new words or phrases, whistling and songs, and repeating noises has started with them shaking their heads at hearing them. I've always thought of it as interest because if they didn't like it, they wouldn't want to say those words or make the sounds themselves. Even just looking over as we're watching TV with him on his play stand and saying hi Bandit, he gives a little head shake. The train is far away but you know those whistles can carry for miles. It wasn't too loud but it could be he didn't like the train. I'm not a fan either! Maybe others with African Greys will comment on their experience with it.
@@Bandit-Bird Your response was perfect. The comment not so much. I have wondered why everybody feels the need to opine on videos before they know anything about the people that actually have the birds. There is so much judgement in the bird world. It shocks me. It’s easy to read the description the drop-down box and that told me that you’ve had birds for years.. thank you for posting. Do you guys also watch Gizmo and Cosmo? Two amazing Canadian Greys
Wow he has a beautiful backyard!
I take it you are in Canada…I am as well. Are you East, Central, prairies or West?
Yes, we're in Canada too. We're in Ontario.
