Nixie - My Timneh African Grey Parrot

The long over due, longer introduction. If you have any questions about her just ask. I will try to have a video up some time next month showing her toys and cage. As I said in the video she is about 4 months old and will learn to talk in another 5-8 months. These birds require A LOT of attention and time, but she is well worth it.

i have a 32 year old african grey (congo)

theyre a bit bigger than the timneh's

is there any difference in intelligence, as in ability to speak?

[FartherAway420]

Not really. The biggest difference is that Timnehs are more likely to bond with multiple people and as you stated Timnehs are smaller.

does this thing shit all around the house?

[FartherAway420]

Nope, she is trained to go in a few designated spots where there is paper supplied for her.

An african grey and an Evanescence song? You are an A+ on my list!

@TICHhardcorelover

Not all people keep them in cages, some people, like myself, keep there african grey out of their cages all day and all night and have constant interaction with them.

@FartherAway420 How much did it cost?

[02lcooper]

we have two small dogs (west island terriors), one small female, and a chunky male. our timneh does a weird dance around the big male lol. and throws things to gain his attention, but hes too lazy to notice... my parrot hates the female, she swoops her. once the dog grabbed the parrot, once she let go, the parrot said "F**kin hell" haha and ruffelled his feathers. he was not affected. although the dog got a nasty bite on the nose!

i love my parrot, hes seriously gangster.

[02lcooper]

we have a timneh. hes awesome, and very happy. he is only in the cage when he wants to be, and believe me, he lets us know when he wants to be lol. he makes loads of mimics, and great whistles. But he isnt hand reared, hes wild. He is great for a wild bird but he doesnt like being handled. he doesnt get scared, he stands up to us, and shows whos boss. hes got a good bite but i cant blame him. one day he will pull out the gun from under his feathers. i love him so much lol.

@kebab52 I had a Timney. I was always told they weren't as smart as the others.

They are definitely not as pretty.

I have an Umbrella now. The most gentle bird in the world.
