Hey,,,,I thought we were talking greys and not women
J/K

Greys can be fantastic companions. Some are real lovable....touchy feely and others would prefer to stand there and talk to you, but no touching.
They are all real individuals....I dont think anyone can lump them all into once catagory.

My first grey, was an older guy. was supposed to be REAL mean and couldnt be handled.....yeah well, he was a great bird, who loved to be with people, could be petted, never bit, but yet, wasnt too keen on snuggling....remember he was wild caught....with that said, I could snuggle with him, but not for long periods of time.

My second grey, would do nothing but snuggle 24/7/365 if he could. nothing made him happier then to be in his moms arms. We would lay there so long, my arms would go numb!

third Grey was my dads who well, has always hated me....I couldnt get near him without a full fledged attack. Especially since I had taken him into my home and he didnt understand why I took him away from my dad.(dad was dying)

fourth grey....he would love to snuggle, but I'm not sure I'm there with him. I can do just about anything with him, and no one else has been able to touch him. he too was from my father.My husband can not touch him. He talks to my husband non stop, but thats where it ends. If a finger is within reach, there will be blood.

fifth, Loves to snuggle with me, on his terms. He is friendly with everyone, talks to his daddy. But would much rather sit on the back of the couch near you and scream in your ear....then actually bet petted or held.

sixth, Miss Emma well, she is a doll. ( I think so anyway) She is special abled, and very sweet. She loves to snuggle with her daddy, but not so much from me. She loves to sing and run at me with kisses, but snuggling is something daddy gets...

so they are all very different......only two were handfed by me.

can they be noisey? ummmmmmmm yeah...somedays. The gang I have now, I can hear them down the street two houses away. It hasnt always been that way.........
