Amazons: great companions or too much to handle? - I like the amazons, I've been getting to know some YNA's. I wanted to get some amazon owner opinions. Are they too much to handle? I've read the many accounts that say you shouldn't let them on your shoulder, or even let them have a cage-top playpen, in

grey feathers - Hi all. My blue amazon parrot feathers in the chest and back had been turning grey for awhile now. Is this a sign of age?

I own a grey which I bought 14 days back. I dont know its exact age.
I guess he will be around 1 year.He growls a lot and doesnt let anybody

to come closer.He doesnt come out of cage also.But the situation has
improved a lot. Now he doesnt growl as much as he did at first and also

takes food from my hand but still doesnt come out of cage.What is the
proper way to start taming?When will be the proper time to bring it out

of the cage and how because it bites a lot.

One of the grey mailing lists would be a good place to ask; the denizens
there would be more acquainted with greys in particular.

In general, though, it might take a long time for a parrot to get to
like you, and it might never happen. The most common advice for dealing
with new birds seems to be "don't try to rush things." You might have
another 60 years with him, so you don't have to have a perfect
relationship by the end of next month.

Now my grey moves feely in my room and when he gets bored or feels
sleepy he goes back into his cage.I think sometime later I'll start to
teach him step up and step down.Because still now he is afraid of
me.While he is out of his cage and if I go closer to him he starts to
growl.But when he is inside the cage I can touch his beak.And when he
eats from my palm I can rub my fore finger with his neck but only when
he eats from my palm.Otherwise he doesnt allow me to touch his neck.So
I think I'll give him some more time---Am I right???Please keep sending
these wonderfull advices

How frequent I will trim my grey's feather?Do the greys prefer to be
seated on higher than us---because my grey comes out of the cage by his
own if I keep the cage door open.And I always keep the windows close
when he is out of the cage.If I do so(to keep the windows closed)---is
it required to trim his feather??He is still afraid of me.And doesnt
allow me to come closer when he is out of his cage.He starts to growl.

I never trim feathers. If you can be sure they cannot escape, there is no need. The only door and window I open is into the aviary.

One day a guy goes to his golf club on his own. Looking for a game, on the firsttee he sees a lady on her own and asks her if could join her for a round.
She agrees and suggests that they play matchplay for £5 to this he accepts thechallenge.
She beats him 6 and 5 and takes the money. Whilst having a drink In the clubhouseshe says do you fancy a blowjob in the car park. The man was a bit bewildered but quickly agrees and out they go.
When they finished she said to him "same time next week" he hastenly said "yes can't wait."
Next week comes and they play for a fiver again - she beats him 5 and 4 and again offers a blowjob in the car park, the man says "please - i would love one". Off they go to the car park.
When finished she said to him "I have a confession" he enquires further "what is it" she replies "i must tell you i am a man dressed as a woman"
He retorts "Bastard - you played off the red tees!"

Sometimes when I approach my grey with some traets istead of looking at
the treat he is more interested in my long nails and tries to chew my
nails.Sometimes he bites hard wheras sometimes he just chews my
nails.Is it this sign to communicate with me?Will I let him to do
this?Will I let him to bite my fingers?I dont know whether it is birds
nature/way to communicate.

sounds like your grey is getting accustomed to you and his/her surroundings.
As the guy said, don't rush things, your bird will let you know when it's
ready for more personal contact.
