You have such beautiful birds! I can tell Treacle apart from the others because she still has those baby eyes. But how do you tell the others apart? I assume it's from personalities. Do any of them try the old switcheroo on you and pretend to be someone else?

Debra, even my 9 year old son can tell them apart :)
It's easy when you know them
Echo is tiny and so pretty
Peach is scruffy round the neck (a plucker and mutilator)
Coco has a bald tummy
Dave is dark and has evil eyes lol
Casper is our biggest and cheeky lookin
And Treacle is obviously easy as she a baby :) x x

Now that's what I call 'shades of gray'!  So many beautiful Grays. 

I'm going out on a limb here saying your love those Grays, or is just something that happened?

I love their play area, that's great for them.  Do you have any rooms that aren't 'bird central'?

I just love your Greys & their beautiful photos!! You always have such awesome photos of your flock and those play ropes are to die for!! :loveuk: That is just awesome the way you have them strung out across your kitchen.  :thumb:

My house is filled with birds & their portable play perches everywhere, but not even as organized and fun looking as yours. I wanna' come play in your house, forget the birds.  :party:

Treacle is growing fast, she is soo cute in her fabie poofy head look.  :twirl:

Awwww, I'm so sorry widdle Kevin, I totally forgot to tell you how beautiful you are as well.  :hugu:

With all the Grey in the room I just overlooked your sweet face. I especially love the little pineapple girls and you look so much like my Peta did. I bet you feel left out with all those pesky Greys taking center stage, but if your anything like my GGC you don't let that happen for long. She used to try and pick  fights with the macaws and Mama was leaping over furniture to grab her.  :dmblaf:

Macawpower58, I never intended havin so many it just happened
As I learnt more and more of how they should be card for I realised there was so many needing better life's
I really am full to the brim now (my house is tiny)
Errrmn let me think the only rooms with no birdie stuff in are the 2 kids bedrooms :)
The bathroom has a shower perch and our bedroom did have a mini java over winter for peach to sleep on I case she got cold downstairs :) xx

Mandi, love your beautiful greys and the play areas that you have set up for them.  You can't say that they don't have plenty to do.

I have to say that it's a tie as to who I would take off your hands if needed. Treacle with those baby eyes or Coco with that cute bald tummy. lol

they are all beautiful!!  I love their play areas!  So cool.  Hubby would divorce me if I did that.  Kevin has a purple perch that twists, what is it called and where can I get one??  Yoshi would love that!

 :bugeye:  oh my goodness! they are amazing! and i LOVE your set up. my house is all about parrots, too.   :ashamed:  if you're looking for someplace to sit around here and you have more than eight toes, you only have two choices.... on the other hand, those with eight toes and zygodactyl feet, have PLENTY of seats to choose from  :roll:


p.s. i have one of those purple perches, ditty, i'll mail it to ya payday, my entire flock is TERRIFIED of it  :hmm:
