Yea, our biggest concern now is for our African Grey, Nyassa. He is not at= all scared of her, but she is very interested in him. She has jumped for = him a few times, especially when he is stretching or flapping his wings. M= ocha is learning that it's not OK, but she is still very young -- at most, = 1.5 years old -- and has never really been taught any household rules. She is inside at least half the day now, and most nights. She took to crat= e training quickly, although she hates the door being shut, and whines as s= oon as it's light, each morning. She's also not housebroken, which we are = helping her through. She is at the stage where he WANTS to go outside, and= TRIES to tell us she wants to, but sometimes we don't get it. We're think= ing of hanging a small bell on the side of the front door, which she can ri= ng when she needs let out, until / unless we decide on a doggie door. --Michael On Nov 26, 2013, at 10:18 PM, John Ferrell wrote: > You have been gifted!
