So.. our girl (OWA) is settling in nicely. She loves my husband, but goes to all of us. I knew when getting her, that talking may never happen.. and to be honest, I wasnt expecting African Grey "smarts". I owned Amazon's, they are the class clown, not the Einstein of the bird world. She has really stolen my heart. Though she doesn't love me anywhere near my husband, she is sweet and hilarious. From grabbing my finger while clacking at me when she wants up (no she isn't biting) to her flying (rather head diving down off her stand since she was badly clipped when we got her) at night when she had enough of us and wants to go home (the entire time she is walking down the hall to her cage she is mumbling and grumbling) she keeps us entertained. We haven't had her a year and I cannot picture my life without her. Thanks to those who originally wrote me, when I was looking for a cockatiel. Amazons are my true heart birds. I cant imagine not sharing my life with one .. and maybe 3 or 4 more
