Griffin discovers treat cup... Cute pics

RavensGryf · Nov 5, 2014

Griffin does all sorts of funny and cute things every day, and occasionally I'll get a pic

Just thought I'd share. Look at his legs and facial expression in the last one LOL!

He's in Raven's cage of course...

That's great! Even better from someone else's cage!

Ill-gotten treats are always better! Or maybe he was just teaching Raven how to forage

Look at that beautiful baby. He looks like he's molting out some of that yellow.

He is such a character, and absolutely adorable, even while raiding someone else's cage. I love his expression in the last photo.

Funny thing is he doesn't even realize he's a thief! According to Griffin, EVERYTHING in his cage AND Raven's cage is his. Sometimes he's even nice enough to let Raven "borrow" his OWN belongings and eat his own food haha. Griffin may be Raven's best friend, but he's still a little bully!

He's getting an olive gray. Even the yellow shoulders are coming out gray. The shoulders should come back in yellow one day again... not sure what age they have complete mature color.

Will he be mostly gray once mature or develop other colors?

Here's a pic from the internet of a mature male Ruppell's parrot. The females are the same except with a bright blue rump. http://www.westerncapebirding.co.za/images/club/IMG_8329b_jpg300(1).jpg

They all look gray in pics, but Griffin is really an olive/gray. I've never seen any others in person. We'll see. I think they look like the attached pic within 3 years?

Oh my god! His eyes makes everything work. The last one is my absolute favorite!
"Mom? I'm not in Raven's cage if your wondering."
"Don't take pictures! Fine, you want one hows this face?"
"But mooooom look what I got-LOOK!"

My first thought on the last pic was "hey mum. I can do the splits while retrieving my treat......err Raven's treat."

It's funny, but so often Griffin's legs are far apart for some reason. It's actually hilarious. He'll even be swinging and hanging upside down sometimes with one leg holding on and one leg spread apart dangling in the air LOL! I need to catch a pic of that.

I was just thinking how much Griffin's face has changed since I've had him.

These pics were taken shortly after I brought him home at just over 3 months old. LOOK AT HIS ADORABLE BABYFACE!! Look how his face has changed, and now at 8 months old his beak is bigger and he's looking a lot less babyish

. He's still a little cutie, but looking much more 'big boy' now.
