Morning Routine of MJ, the African Grey Parrot

This is MJ's morning routine. He usually talks a little more in the morning, than this video shows. But I edited it to save time. I hope you enjoy it!

My grey Miko is a riot.

He goes 'ooOOooo!' when he sees something new , asks for a shower, says phone number, counts to ten (i am training him to count objects and colours , hes smart!)

he poos before i pick him up, he greets us when we come in, shakes hands , waves, gives 5, i put him on his back then hang him by his tail

He talks ALOT, loves cashews and walnuts.

MJ's food has ALOT of colouring in it and the yoghurt (non dairy or not )probably isnt good for him, & dried mango is pure sugar.

Wow, that's awesome! How old is Miko?

That's a good point about the yogurt treats. I don't give him many, but maybe I should stop buying them. Is the food coloring that bad? I can get the same kind without coloring, but Idk how MJ would react to that, lol. He likes eating his food by color (all the red, then all the orange, then all the purple, etc, lol.)

just wondering if he has more toys than what's in his cage? Or if you just don't put them in his cage at night:

[kristyu2bullet]

Yeah, I rotate his toys. This was probably right before I put a new one or two in there. He usually has more.

What a polite bird! Great table manners1 Your parrot eats healthier food than us dumb humans!  Come on over to my place and FEED ME! No wonder he doesn't want to leave home! Big cage, clean water, clean newspaper....lots of toys and lots of love... what could go wrong?

Hi Kristy. I've fallen in love with MJ! I have a Timneh (and a cockatiel, a linnie and two Java rice finches -- those are just the birds!). I have shown my TAG Willow all of MJ's videos and she gets very excited hearing him. I noticed so many similarities in how we speak to our little feathered ones. You are such an amazing bird mom - I can see how much MJ loves you. Thanks so much for sharing your videos.

[EvolutionExotics]

@kristyu2bullet Where did you buy him from

[bilaremix]

If i get a African Grey can i keep him and his cage in my room?

[bilaremix]

wow what a BIG cage! awesome idea the more bigger the cage the better the bird feels! good one.

I make plain hot air popped popcorn for my birds with no butter, salt or anything and they LOVE it just like him. Sometimes I roll it in a tiny bit of natural peanut butter and then a little seed....I try to make a lot of my own things to make big batches cause I have so many feathered kids.....lol

[sllywbbt]

Did I hear you call him *fat boy* LOL I thought it was so cute!

You are one very good mommy to MJ and it shows. He's very spoiled, happy and it shows.

Don't you just love it when strangers tell you how to raise your bird? lol

The kids and I have enjoyed watching MJ, what a riot. I've trained many dogs, but never a bird. Is it a similar process?

We, too, often cover our little bird's cage at night; he actually likes it, AND he is an "only bird" and doesn't have a chance to get lonely around here. Having hand raised him from a naked orphaned nestling, we're all he knows. MJ looks perfectly content without the company of another bird.
