Timneh was full of it today. She was out to destroy everything she could by the end of the day I felt like I was in a war. She actually cracked the plastic frame around my computer monitor. She enjoys shutting my monitor off, she was even trying to take part the table today. I think She got an espresso at Nigel's this morning before I got up. I was bummed she managed to scissor the rubber wheel off my mouse it's like the only decent part of my computer. Hopefully she got her destructiveness out of her system today. She was so focused on destroying stuff I actually picked he up in my hand I thought for sure I was gonna get chomped but nope too focused. It felt really neat too pick her up instead of stepping up. I love my little grey monster but I had to call it a night tonight. I was starting to go a little coo coo playing tug of war with everything I wanted to eat, drink, or use. Lol. So accurate whoever said parrots are like 3 year olds with can openers on their face. Timneh is amazing and I'm pretty sure from day to day she encompasses pretty much all parrots at some point. Everyday is an amazing new adventure with my little grey buddy. Sorry for the long rant thanks for reading.

Sorry I giggled as I imagined it. I love to read rants because I feel a bit of relief that they haven't thought of that...yet. We don't let Buzz near the computer for exactly that reason. He has done in a few remote controls that are now buttonless. His favorite thing is to hide under the chair and pull out the carpet thread by thread and leave them in a pile. I call him Mr. Destructo. Hopefully you'll have a few calm days. I was trying to remember, isnt Timneh a young bird?

Ah the grey rant! They are so fidgety sometimes. I hope Timneh doesn’t get too many espressos at the coffee shop!

hahaha, i can picture that! The rants are funny, when Enzo does one i just pick her up and take her to another room or show her something new to distract her.
Last night I was watching a movie, she was on her play stand, the next thing is I felt water on my face. She was flicking it at me, maybe 4ft away from me, she didn't even stop until i was right next to her. I cant get angry at her though as i seem to just see the funny side of things, although I put her to bed 5 minutes later after she said 'night night', she was probably just trying to get my attention away from 'Rogue One'

RIP Gandalf and Big Bird, you are missed.
Seems Timneh is proving the line of "Busy (destructive) beaks are happy beaks!" Could just be a mood that can swing in less than a millisecond!

Oh yaaa...the carpet thing. Anytime Smokey would get ticked at me (it was usually when I played with Amy) she'd pull hunks of carpet..little blue fluff balls all around her house.

Thank you everyone. Timneh is still young she's two. I don't know her exact hatch date but I think she's almost 3. I'm giving up hope of getting any more information from the previous owners. Timneh has her own keyboard well had. I buy 7 dollar ones from Amazon definitely going to be buying her own mouse too. Great idea. I love it when Timneh growls at me when I'm trying to get something back from her and she won't let go. Mainly the rubber on my cell phone, unbelievable the grip she has. Timnehs only 303 grams I can't imagine the strength of some of the larger birds. I love the water trick, Timnehs never done that one. She just flies onto my head. I said to her one night you landing pretty hard and she goes "I know" and starts laughing. It's like what the.

Laughing at us... I think they have a sense of humour for sure orcas a minimum they like to see us as happy as they are.
I saw my first timney grey a few weeks ago in an outdoor aviary in a local park. My god they are lovely, very rare in the UK too
When Enzo fluffs and growls I creep up and say 'coming to get you' she gets even more e cited and I grab her in my hands and rub my nose into her neck... we both love that hehe
