NOT TRUE!!!! you need to spend time with your bird!! It learns from you. Birds do not do well with isolation. They need their people and attention.

No, we have an African Grey and she talks all the time. She also comes out of her cage to play at least 2 times a day, usually 3.

She doesn't like to talk much though when people are in the same room with her.

i am not sure where you could have read this but for my 2 Grey's they talk their heads off in till they are put in their cages. my Grey's are out all day. they are only in their cages at night and when no one is at home. my Grey's know that the cage is for resting and quiet time. i believe that you got some wrong advise.

This is not true and actually, that type of bird is extremely intelligent, it has been proven on the discovery channel that it can learn the human language so to as communicate with the human owner to express what he is thinking and feeling. These birds need to be stimulated and loved, not kept in a cage.

I have two friends with congo greys over the age of 10 that do not speak a word. Both of them spend most of their time outside of the cage. Be prepared to love your grey regardless of whether or not he/she speaks.

I have owned lots of birds and they are very demanding. African Greys are very intellegent creatures. They learn from you to get them to speake you have to talk to them they like to be around people. Lots of love and attention and you will have a great talker and mimicer in no time.

What really happens is when an African Grey is alone, he will use his talking ability. However, he will not gain a talking ability without interaction. Therefore, it is important that you give him a lot of attention. When he's alone, he will occupy himself by talking.

properly, first issues first - Whoever at your position of abode is putting forward "F*&#ok off!" around the chook, tell them to knock it off and forestall being a moron. Who ever has used "sic em!" instructions on the canines around the chook, tell that man or woman a similar element. next, the only poster - Sapphyre - has absolutely dealt with this form of worry if she works at a rescue middle. If she is prepared that ought to help you out better, you ought to extremely settle for the availability. do not take Bethany's suggestion on spraying your gray to punish it. you ought to have a twig bottle reachable to mist your gray. it really is totally solid for her epidermis and feathers and may not in any respect be used for a punishment. quite a number of birds like it once you mist them. you should use it for a cope with at the same time as she's a stunning good female. do not punish her as you ought to a cat or canines. Cats and canines are preditors. Your gray is prey. completely diverse questioning animals. A chook gained't reply properly to that style of treatment and also you ought to reason better issues than you've already got. overlook about undesirable behaviour and attempt now to not react. in the journey that your chook says inappropriate issues, do not even look into her, do not say a note. tell others to act themselves round her and not in any respect to giggle at the same time as she's undesirable. Human laughter can be a huge motivator for birds. they extremely respond to it. attempt preparation her some humorous words that haven't any swearwords and could not reason issues - something people will giggle at.

I would believe that as with any animal, the more the attention, the more the interaction between owner and pet.
