Does your Grey Sleep?

Hahah it’s all good. I am only looking at posts that mean things to me.

In our place, I just have one of those large mirrors that basically covers the wall from the edge of the countertop to the ceiling. Sif also seems disinclined to mess with her reflection either. I know she sees it occasionally but I’m not sure she trusts it. She was the only hatchling out of a clutch, so she really hasn’t “seen” other Greys per se and the only other bird she has seen in the last few months is a conure. For all I know she might think she’s a conure lol

My grey must think he's a bat....always hanging upside down from something..usually his swing, and screaming..I'll ask.. "Hey greyson, what the heck you doing???" He mutters something under his breath. ...maybe that he thinks he's a bat, or that I'm incredibly funny looking upside down to him.

Yes, take the good, and drown out the truly asinine. That's always been my philosophy.

Does your Grey dream of electric sheep? How do they sleep? I don’t know if it is unusual or not but I’m beginning to think it is. Sif wants to sleep with me whether it’s a short nap or a long night. Her most favorite position is to lay against my neck and tuck as much of her body as possible under my chin. Almost like I’m her momma bird tucking my head and neck over her. Has anyone else experienced that and/or how do your fids sleep?

Does my grey sleep? My terrorist African grey probably dreams of 72 virgins!
Lol!!!!! He actually sleeps where he wants. Sometimes in his hut in cage, sometimes on his large ring above his cage. Sometimes on back of couch by dog.

However my concern is making sure my fid has the best life possible.

No it is not! Your concern is only egoistic.
And this post just prove it:

Hahah it’s all good. I am only looking at posts that mean things to me.

So when I and Mary Lynn told you how dangerous this is:

I will just add that never allow your bird to sleep with you on the couch or in the bed. Not even for a small napkin.
Yes it's cute, but for their safety let them sleep in their cages or playstands.
So many birds have died because to many humans thought it was cute.
And imagine the pain when you woke up and find your bird dead, and the reason for that is you.

You are foolish not to listen to the people on this board who have witnessed many owners lose their bird to being squashed or smothered when sleeping with their bird. It makes you feel good, but it kills your bird - so you don't suffer any consequences.

You posted this:

You don’t like the thread then don’t post. Thanks much!!

My advice and post was going to save your bird for not being dead because you killed it, did not mean things to you?
What a bad and egoistic attitude..

This is a public forum and anyone can respond to your post. I don't really care whether you liked it or not - it's the birds that count when it comes between their safety and "courtesy".

Always!
It is always the animals safety that comes first. If that can save a bird or two, people can think whatever they want of me.
I don't care about people with bad attitude that thinks that they give their bird "the best life possible" but at the same time don't appreciate when someone (read: Me) is wanted to spare them the feeling of having kill their bird in their sleep.

Courtesy counts

Yes it does! But not for you? All I can read is that you are rude again and again..

Just like you shouldn't say things that people will disagree with in a conversation if you don't want a debate, you shouldn't post on the forums if you aren't willing to find people who disagree with you. If you have a problem with people disagreeing, make your own forum.

Amen to that!

I will end this with:
I always are fast to give advice when it comes to animals safety. When I post things like this to other people their reactions are:
I didn't thought of that. Thank you for saving my baby!
I didn't know that, thanks for explaining that to me.
I had no idea that was so dangerous, thanks for telling me. e.t.c

I'm so sorry Sif, but I did try.

Greyson says...SAY WHAT?? where's that ugly, 8 legged, alien looking Mr. Ball legs?
I am not sleeping till I know Mr. ball legs is NOT going to get me!!!

And my Senegal sleeps on its back sometimes...just lays there and falls asleep!!

 

[Kodigirl210]

Sif hates being on her back. Too many Dr visits lol

I think it is so cute when they lie on their backs, I wish Fred would do that.

 

[Snowghost]

Paco and are don't know each other well enough to start sleeping together, I'm not that kind of girl! LOL

I wouldn't sleep with any pet. I was terrified when my colicky daughter would only sleep if I patted her while trying to get her to sleep on my chest. I didn't sleep for the first 6 weeks.

Amen to that!

Your answer:

My Husbands Granddaughter, smothered their Sun Conure , She fell asleep and had rolled over on the bird. The mother used to let her sleep with the bird.

I just can't imagine falling asleep with something has fragile as a bird. I would never be able to forgive myself, waking up to finding my companion dead because of me. I can't let my thoughts even go in that direction. It's just the way I feel.

Devastating to say the least. My birds don't snuggle on me to sleep , they doze off on the back of the recliner, I'm sitting in hanging-out , or they snooze on their Java Tree . If I start to nod-off while watching T.V. while they are out, I have them go back into the safety of their cage. Because even if they aren't snuggled with me they can still get into trouble or destroy things left unsupervised.

Louise is a perch potato. She sleeps on a perch. Any perch, when she is tired or it is dark. I have a camera to watch occasionally while I am at work, despite all kinds of toys, she mostly sleeps. I have a playstand and travel cage in my room. She used to stay on her stand when I napped but now she flies to me. Too dangerous for everyone to have her in the bed, she charges the dogs, they run (one day one would prob stand their ground), she bites toes (mine) and poos in the bed. So while I am awake the dogs are elsewhere, she can be on her stand. If she wants to be in the bedroom under any other condition, it is in the travel cage. She seems just to like to be where I am so she is ok with the cage. She is also a no touch bird so she wouldn't sleep on my shoulder anymore.

 

[Snowghost]

Pat, where and what kind of camera do you use at work to watch her? Paco is a no touch bird, I hope that changes in time, however he is 19. I had an Amazon and two cats, I trained the cats to stay away and they did, for 7 years, and yes the Amazon was not afraid of them. I caught one cat on cage door (drawbridge type) and she was bobbing back and forth like a boxer with one cat. These guys are fearless!

I use the nest camera. Nest Cam | Indoor and Outdoor Home Security Cameras | Nest
They typically offer good deals on father's day, Christmas, black friday.... It works really well. It saves the video for 24 hours for free or you can get a subscription that is pretty reasonably priced. I have been able to make clips easily of her talking. Nest was just bought out by google-I'm not thrilled by that...
