I'm sure my Grey is nuts...

Today I had downloaded music to my cell phone and was sitting next to my Grey listening to the music. He stuck his head under the cell phone and with the phone on his head and the music playing he sat like this for ages. It was as if he was in a trance. Each time I stopped the music he called and bent his head down again. This was too cute to watch. My husband thought it was hilarious as he just wouldn't give up and let me take the phone away.!!
I just had to share this with you all.

I also just have to quickly thank Tom Lawless and Lisa B for all their support and encouragement, and to all of you memebers who have given me advice a big thank you. Take care.

I would have loved to have seen that. I play music for my guys all the time and they don't really seem to acknowledge it. It would be interesting what they would do if they heard it over an IPod bud or cell phone.

It sounds like things are going really well. I'm really glad for all of you.

That does sound really cute. Must feel good too, to enjoy moments like that with your grey. They are such wonderfully intelligent birds.
