Another African Grey

[caseydoll]

Since Graehstone kindly showed his bird pics I thought i would show mine. Her name is Baby and I've had her for about 7 years or so. Before that she was for sale at the pet shop where I worked so I've known her since she was a baby. She started plucking her feathers at the pet shop. I believe that she was poorly socialized as a baby and she definately didn't take well to living at a pet shop. People that she doesn't know make her nervous and she was constantly exposed to that. I've tried all the tricks to make her stop but she is just doomed to look like a plucked chicken. But I love her just as she is. Unfortunately she doesn't care for me too much. Baby prefers males, especially my boyfriend. I try and try but she still is a stinker! Strangely enough, she only speaks in my voice. She laughs like me, coughs like me, you name it! Okay, I'll end this because I'm sure it's getting long and boring by now!





p.s. She's in her brand new cage so it's looks a little bare in the pic. I have to slowly introduce each toy as not to upset her.
