She came out today!!!!

My bf was over and he opened the cage door to let her out and she kept on leaning into my closet to check that out and we didn't want her to try to go in there so he reached his arm to her and she climbed on. Then waddled her way up to his shoulder and started doing his hair and inspecting him with her beak with hardly any pressure. She's been very friendly to him since she came here and he was able to pet her through the cage and she would practically fling her head at him to scratch.

So much for thinking I wouldn't be able to handle her. I did pick her up after they were done. So you guys were right, after 15 years of not being handled, she still likes humans. She seems to really like men though, she's in good with my brother as well. Maybe she can sense that I am a little scared of her. Now I just need to handle her when my bf isn't here so I can bond with her more I made an appt for her to go to the vet next week to get her nails done and checkup. She tore up Jeff's neck pretty good with her super long nails, poor guy

Thanks again for everyone's support in my other thread, and I guess I won't need that mechanical arm like luke skywalker

That's good news, congratulations!

Yay! Really cute African grey!

Hehehehh Told ya! she is adorable that looks like one happy bird.

That is one sweet picture... she looks like she is in love...

Awww! How sweet! At least you know your boyfriend is a keeper - any guy who will put up with being groomed by a grey is a good one!

Thank you!!! Hehe...she pooped on him 2 times too hahaha!! Yup he sure is a keeper, and her too!!

I'm just super glad she's sweet and seems to be so happy and loving her new family!! She was chattering up a storm just a minute ago I see some new feathers have come in on her chest and she hasn't plucked them, I hope she won't pluck so much now that she has more toys, a larger cage, and lots of attention.

Awe, she is so pretty . That is awesome she is warming up to you guys : )

That is awesome!
