Ever seen an African Grey fall in love with a human?

My parrot is going crazy for me in this video, I guess she sees me as her mate :)

Listen to the sounds she is making not to mention she is trying to regurgitate for me! lol

Ya, she is my baby; I will be uploading new videos this week of her; her speech and context of words she uses is remarkable.

She asks for certain foods and when I say no you can't have that; then she starts to go down the list of things she likes to eat ( people food)

She also tells me no know likke a little child, she likes to hang on my hair and beak my nose and when I say hey! stop that! She goes no! NO! and when I try to get her to step up she says..... ah ah ah ah no!

i work at a pet store and one of our store pets is a green wing macaw. she always regurgitates well not always but alot whenever i player with her. my question is, what does the regurgitation mean?

[Wizard298]

regurigitation means love or a crop infection. If she only does it to you then she sees you as her "mate" one that she loves the most :)

How do u train them not to fly away??

[Wizard298]

Trust and respect is the biggest thing. Greys won't fly away from a person they want to be near. If I put her on her gym or her perch when I am cleaning, she will whistle come here sound and if I don't come, she fly's right where I am at and follows me all over the house.

Also if the bird comes to you or steps up, find it's favorite food and give it a treat. Since my bird is not clipped and nor will she ever be as long she is with me, I always have a back up in case she gets out side. She loves chocolate which she never gets much of, but if she got out and I had chocolate she would come down. She is terrified of the outdoors, she got out once and was lost for a day she was only 3 months old, she flew off my shoulder when I did not know she could fly that good yet

Im lucky in that Im far too ugly for my parrot to fall in love with me. Also, we are both male... so ... fingers crossed.

[bigbadbarb]

She surely LOVES you!! What a great bird. You're so good with her . . . she's going to be a great companion over the years.

Aweee I have a grey to they r such wonderful creatures

[EliteDigit]

Regurgitating means that they really like you and possibly your the one they want to be with. I have a African Grey she does it all the time.

Nevermind...I see that yours is female :) Actually, now that I think of it, I'm not really sure if my mom has a male or female. It's still cute either way.

[simplydreaming]

I wonder if females do the same thing too? My Mom's bird still does that for me once in a while. :) It is very flattering :)

when you tickle birds under their wings and on the tummy, it "stimulates" them (to keep it PG). Your bird was crouching and presenting due to excitement.

this could be realy bad for anyones parrots health. did anyone see the program on the other night about special needs pets? there was a parrot th became so obsessed with its owner it had 2 take antidepressents when its owner did after it feather plucked so hard it was drawing blood.

i have a 4yr old african grey parrott and i bet only you can do that with the bird as they only take to 1 or 2 people in the house hold. it is actually tryin to prune you with its beak nt tryin to bite..
