I’ve wanted an African Grey since I was 13 years old and have been doing research for about 11 years. When I was ready to get an animal, I just decided on a budgie instead because I thought that even though I had years of research I needed some experience with birds first to be sure I was really ready. I know it sounds like overkill but I just want to be sure that when I get my African Grey, I can give it a good life.
Three things to know about African Greys: 1. They are fluffy 2. They are extremley inteligent 3. If treated corectley, they can be your BBFF (Best Bird Friend Forever)
I\'m not sure but ,if anyone else is searching for how to train a parrot to talk try Dalz Parrot Tips Discovery (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my partner got excellent success with it.
James Troisi it is quite possible,but usually the person who spends the most time with them will be “their person”.but every bird is different,and a bird can still love you even if your not their favorite.
Very my African grey loves my mother way more than it loves me. It has attacked strangers on a few occasions when they tried to get close to my mother.
I wish he would have brought up some differences between the subspecies. Timneh are less likely to be phobic than Congo’s are, timneh start socially vocalizing faster because they mature faster (which is part of why they are less phobic) timneh are less prone to stress related negative behaviors like plucking, it’s best to make sure a grey is 100% fledged knows how to fly and land properly to avoid issues related to stress they should be left flighted or delay clipping for a lot longer than some other species their size. The timneh is more likely to pair bond very young and keep that bond if they aren’t worked with more often by other members of the household the Congo is more likely to switch bonds and be a more active flock member with slightly less effort. All of these things correlate to the differences you see in the subspecies in the wild, the Congo tends to be considered baby in their flock for considerably longer than the timneh, the timneh is considered adult to their flock and start integrating out of babyhood at around 6 months the Congo is 12 months that’s why the Congo when they pair bond seem to go from one member of the house to another, they see the initial caregiver as mom the other people are other flock members that will make suitable mates the timneh matured into the flock faster ergo will pair bond off to whoever that caregiver is because they are much closer to maturity when they enter a new home from baby-hood. These can be integral facts that can make living with these birds easier for some people as well as help them troubleshoot when they do have issues behaviorally.
@@mr.django6283 Love is a uniquely human concept. So no. Your bird, dog, cat ,bunny rabbit, hamster, etc will never love you. But they can bond with humans and even other animals that are not of their species. They can give and receive affection, but that's as close as an animal can ever get to "showing love."
Thanks for the tips Dave. I'm still working on getting Lucky touch trained, he will let me touch his feet and legs so far. He loves to chew up water bottles. When we came home from vacation he went nuts talking and throwing me kisses. I sure do love that crazy bird!
Good job! I’m getting a Congo! He is 27 yrs old and very loving.. Man died and wife is giving to me 💕 I have had before and LOVE THEM ! He is plucking feathers and still happy (well affectionate ) What is good for this? Could it be that his friend - ( owner died?) or? Thank you And bless you and yours 👍🏻✌🏻️
LOL...I love the beginning of this video. Thank You for the advice 🤗 bringing a baby African Grey into our flock soon, so I appreciate this snippet 💖 I'll be sure to check out your site!
It's painful to see the stunning African Greys. My alcoholic neighbor would get angry at his for defending herself and put her in the freezer. He got rid of her and I've never forgotten her. I hope she got past that.. She was so scared of him. 😑
I go to school and so does my brother. So can we still get an African grey? Bc I’ll spend the rest of the day giving them/him/her attention and training it. Btw, we go to school for 6-7 hrs.
my African grey only will step on when he's in the floor and acts like he wants to when he's in top of his cage with me holding 1 of his favorite treats, but will not step up with other foot. what do I do? I've had him or her 3 months now.
@talithia407 You might want to consider trying our course for abused pet parrots... can't really answer this in an online video because there's so much to cover.
BirdTricks I just got a African grey parrot but I heard he came from a home where there have her in the basement all the time never came out of the cage and no interaction only to feed them.my question is would it be possible to turn a fear,scare bird to a sweet one
@@wandy39 All it takes is to have no fear, patience is the key and try to interact with it every day. Try not to make it a ritual, meaning that if its 10 o'clock you must see to your bird, they get used to times and could take abandonment hard, ie, featherpluck. So make it random but give him a lot of fuss each time you interact with him. Make him come to you and try not to force issues.
My friend has one and before covid I visited nearly every week. He was used to me and I was the only one he chatted with a lot and practiced his new words with. I was and still am petrefied of being bitten. However I was always convinced he really liked me and he also obeyed me to get on his perch when I needed to close his cage. I'm going back there this week, I've got a cucumber and some cardboard he can keep himself busy with. Also some almonds to put in his bowl. What can I expect? Will he recognize me? Will I be able to bond with him again in the 3 days, I'll be up there? Or do I need to introduce myself all over again? He's not handtame and is known to bite when you want to handle him.
We have a 32 year old Grey that hates everyone but my Mom. Is there any hope of getting him to be more friendly and out going or should we just take him as he is? We have had him basically his whole life so he knows our family and has his "bluff" in on everyone but she and my sister. :P
It's never too late to train a bird, but it's mostly about training the household members to be honest, please start with my family friendly course which you can purchase with or without consults and it comes as an instant download; familyfriendlyparrot.com/purchase
Mine did that to me for about a year. It's affection. He passed last year at 19. He was the love of my life. The apt. We moved to had something going on I'm afraid that was toxic or it was heart disease.I just don't know. He flew around.Vet said he had normal labs and was very strong. He visits me often in spirit. But I still miss him terribly.
I was looking into getting a feathered friend I own a large landscaping company and travel around to various houses I wanted to get him and carry him around with him I was looking to hang a swing on my trailer for him to perch on while I worked he would be with me all day but I’m not sure if that would be the time he needed spent with him could anyone give some advice?
I've inherited my aunts Congo African Grey Parrot of 38 years old. I nervous she wont take to me though all animals love me. Any advice? I also fear she will be depressed from my aunt passing away. Has anyone dealt with a situation similar to mine and have some advice?
hello i have a grey parrot.but the tail is not red! and i have kiki around 6 months but till now i can't touch her .she just take food from my hand.would this change would i be able to touch her. would she start sya some words or no? thank you
hi I have a question about an African Grey Parrot she's like 23 years old and she had her first egg does she need a maid for it to be a fertilized egg please help me
If there is a head lowering but the head is cocked to one side or the eye is looking up at you, it's not an invitation to pet. Our female does this sometimes. A true invitation to pet will be a bow and no eyes trying to look up. Also, sometimes they will raise feathers where they want a pet/scratch. But you really have to know your bird's body language as a whole because raised feathers can mean a number of things.
I use found out my neighbor has an African grey. He works a lot. Well. The bird sits alone in an empty cage. How can I help? I’m scared of my own conure! LOL I really want to be able to make him STOP biting me. Anyway. back to the grey. Any tips on what I can do to help . I’ve offered toys and cage cleaning but after that I’m clueless.
I imagine the bird staying with a friend or relative is an option (as is boarding). But you need to know if the bird has bonded to you. For example the guy who has the cockatoo named Max agreed to watch him while a neighbor was out of town. But since the original owner had only had max for a short time the bird ended up bonding with his caretaker (original owner let the 2nd guy keep the bird). His channel is Mr Max TV. He has a couple of Q&A videos that I think are really good.
Hi my baby is 2 years old and I still syringe feed him even water, he tries to eat but can't swallow, don't know whether his beak needs to be trimmed as I see food stuck in the upper or lower bill, he can't peel a sunflower seed so he avoids all kinds of nuts 🥜 took him to the vet and she said he is absolutely fine, I am really confused 🤔, due to this problem I am house bound can't leave him, as he does not eat from others, plus I want to take him out do you think he will fly away? He is not caged as he is free flight he flys all around the house, one min he is in my bed room next in the living or the kitchen stealing butter🙈😬, due to my arthritis it's difficult for me to run after him... please help!! DONT ASK ME TO ASK WingsNpaws HE NEVER REPLIES!! It's a waste of time writing to him
Can you get back to me as I have a few questions about my grey about how she eats and dose not talk her and just yells all the time and I’m a stay at home dad and have lots of time with here
Give him time to adjust and get used to a new owner and environment. They become very attached and will likely be missing him. Do youre research, learn what you can and start basic trust building exercises. The bird might be to much for you to handle and if that's the case rehome it. Your uncle would want what's best for you and the bird.
I have an African grey , I got it yesterday , it's still in its cage , and it screams alot and when I come close to try to give it attention it screams and runs away what should I do
Hi there.. I have an african grey parrot.. He is probably 1 year old now.. Today he started acting weird.. He is throwing up.. And is all fluffed up and quite.. Can i know whats the problem with him and whats the solution..
Hey i just got a african grey parrot, and i was wondering he is quite old 8 year old. He is not that active, and he isnt saying much. Me and him have been trying in 7 days now. My question is, is it still possible to learn him tricks. And make him social again? Thankes anyway.
@LACKOFBORINGSELF as a proud grey owner , I do not recommend u to be the parent of an African grey. It’s a lifestyle and make noise at night? Well they DO sleep , so unless you are up and active late at night in ur house then no. Please don’t get one. These and all birds need quality time, love, patience but more then that they need the right person/family who has researched and done the homework for what raising/owning any species of birds will takes. for the sake of the birds quality of life . half the ppl who think they want a parrot and get one end up getting rid of or mistreating them and wonder why the birds don’t act right. Because the owner does not act right. It’s not fair to them research on what owning a parrot is about.
hi my name is James. i have a African gray my first parrot he is about two years old i am not the first owner. he Haas bin miss tree at if i can git moor info on the handling of the breed it make life better for the bird and me i love the bird but don't now how to Handel it
a lot of patience especially if he has been mistreated..talk to him, offer treats, apple slices, grapes, carrots and nuts...give him time to know you wont abuse him also...he doesn't trust you yet...
in most parrot species there arent any visual differences between the sexes (there are a few exceptions), so the best way to know is to get them dna sexed.
Probably depends on where you live. The bird shop by me usually sells them for between 800 and 1000. But shelters often have them for a smaller adoption fee (but usually still a few hundred dollars). Shelters often get them because of the death of an owner or they had to move and weren't able to take them, so they tend to be a few years older, which is actually good since they will have their behavior pretty set in their ways so you know what you're getting. A fairly big cage and playstand are needed for a grey that can cost from 300 to a grand depending on how big it is. And greys are smart and get bored easy so you need lots of toys and to replace them fairly regularly. So expect that the original investment will all the equipment, food, toys, and the bird to cost probably 2 grand up front.
Kayla Ramos probably if he's used to seeing white people in the house, introduce them to black or whatever other races you might be friends or associates with.
This is referring back to sociology all over again! Wow! I guess my sociology class that I am taking right now in college isn't as bad, because these parrots will act almost exactly like humans!
Hi Shooga, if he starts to get really vocal, leave the room, when he quietens down walk back in with 'Good boy' and a treat, don't reward him for bad behaviours. Talk to him and get him to try to talk back. They are quick learners. Had mine 16 years, what I'm trying now is to get him to lie on his back in the palm of my hand. He loves going over backwards whilst on my finger so now I'm gradually putting my hand on his back and letting him get used to the feeling of being 'in my hand'. He has let go with one foot so its getting there. He has to give me a kiss before I swing him upright whereby he chuckles 'hahaha'. Good luck
hi everyone ,if anyone else wants to discover parrot tips try Dalz Parrot Tips Discovery (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some great things about it and my m8 got excellent results with it.
Have you got numerous id's because many people here are saying about Dalz, but are using the same sentence. Are you Dalz trying to drum up views at others expense?
You should never snatch a bird like that nor molest the bird like you did most the video. You’re sexually confusing and frustrating your bird. DONT BE THAT GUY…

Hi ive got a african grey and he keeps making a noise i never heard him doing it im a bit worried
My african grey sometimes makes a screeching sound when he is playing with his toys, the first time i heard it i thought he was dying.
If you are the main caretaker of a Cockatoo, but you have to leave for a month, can you leave them in someone elses care?

hi from 2021
Hi there I have a 2 year old and I live in an apartment and I would like her to talk more not screaming please help if you can
how do you know how old a african grey is
I have an African grey , I got it yesterday , it's still in its cage , and it screams alot and when I come close to try to give it attention it screams and runs away what should I do
maybe he or she is a mixed breed I had one like that and hate being with people you can do nothing for him
unknown
You should've been prepared for something like this...
have you ever been bitten? if so, how did you keep it from happening?
My grey doesn't like toys at all. She loves me she is still a baby .
How about caique
which gender is the best to get a female or a male?
Hi there..
I have an african grey parrot.. He is probably 1 year old now.. Today he started acting weird.. He is throwing up.. And is all fluffed up and quite.. Can i know whats the problem with him and whats the solution..
What happened it's been 4 weeks ?
Sounds like he could be regurgitating ,not throwing up, because he's hormonal? Late reply though..
Excellent, my Congo loves to bite hard & draws blood how can I convince him that I really wish he would stop ?
Feed him with your hands.
Nice but my can't fly to me she is 5 months
14 weeks is good age to buy African grey
ya bird is hyper cause it's listening to pendulum all day :0
How bad is dander from cag?
What climate they need ? I stay in India , I have one .
Hey i just got a african grey parrot, and i was wondering he is quite old 8 year old. He is not that active, and he isnt saying much. Me and him have been trying in 7 days now. My question is, is it still possible to learn him tricks. And make him social again?
Thankes anyway.
8 years is not old. They can live as long as a human. Should spend time with him and offer treats and different toys.
8 years old is comparable to a human 8 year old. and 7 days isn't much for a bird. Good luck with your new friend though!
Sercan Atici i hope you answer md.is it hard to keep one? And like do they still make noise at night?
@LACKOFBORINGSELF as a proud grey owner , I do not recommend u to be the parent of an African grey. It’s a lifestyle and make noise at night? Well they DO sleep , so unless you are up and active late at night in ur house then no. Please don’t get one. These and all birds need quality time, love, patience but more then that they need the right person/family who has researched and done the homework for what raising/owning any species of birds will takes. for the sake of the birds quality of life . half the ppl who think they want a parrot and get one end up getting rid of or mistreating them and wonder why the birds don’t act right. Because the owner does not act right. It’s not fair to them research on what owning a parrot is about.
she reminds me of the girl from rio
hi my name is James. i have a African gray my first parrot he is about two years old i am not the first owner. he Haas bin miss tree at if i can git moor info on the handling of the breed it make life better for the bird and me i love the bird but don't now how to Handel it

how to differentiate between male and female? ...thank you
in most parrot species there arent any visual differences between the sexes (there are a few exceptions), so the best way to know is to get them dna sexed.
How to tamed a semi wild grey
I fancy you
How much do they cost
Probably depends on where you live. The bird shop by me usually sells them for between 800 and 1000. But shelters often have them for a smaller adoption fee (but usually still a few hundred dollars). Shelters often get them because of the death of an owner or they had to move and weren't able to take them, so they tend to be a few years older, which is actually good since they will have their behavior pretty set in their ways so you know what you're getting. A fairly big cage and playstand are needed for a grey that can cost from 300 to a grand depending on how big it is. And greys are smart and get bored easy so you need lots of toys and to replace them fairly regularly. So expect that the original investment will all the equipment, food, toys, and the bird to cost probably 2 grand up front.

Hi Everyone.
Sucks
what does he mean introduce the bird to new races?
owo
Kayla Ramos probably if he's used to seeing white people in the house, introduce them to black or whatever other races you might be friends or associates with.
Did anyone else hear the malapropism?
This is referring back to sociology all over again! Wow! I guess my sociology class that I am taking right now in college isn't as bad, because these parrots will act almost exactly like humans!
i hear pendulum in the background.
Not nice to be nipped by a parrot,it's not the prettiest parrot🐦
My girl is 6 months old .. hand tame starting to talk but is absolutely the noisiest ever .... will not be quiet ... drives me nuts
Hi Shooga, if he starts to get really vocal, leave the room, when he quietens down walk back in with 'Good boy' and a treat, don't reward him for bad behaviours. Talk to him and get him to try to talk back. They are quick learners. Had mine 16 years, what I'm trying now is to get him to lie on his back in the palm of my hand. He loves going over backwards whilst on my finger so now I'm gradually putting my hand on his back and letting him get used to the feeling of being 'in my hand'. He has let go with one foot so its getting there. He has to give me a kiss before I swing him upright whereby he chuckles 'hahaha'. Good luck
Dude is that make up?
Stanimir Potov, Its stage makeup
hi everyone ,if anyone else wants to discover parrot tips try Dalz Parrot Tips Discovery (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some great things about it and my m8 got excellent results with it.
Have you got numerous id's because many people here are saying about Dalz, but are using the same sentence. Are you Dalz trying to drum up views at others expense?
You should never snatch a bird like that nor molest the bird like you did most the video. You’re sexually confusing and frustrating your bird. DONT BE THAT GUY…
your husband wears makeup? LOL
You guys are fucking looney tunes!!!
