Aww that grey sounds adorable. I myself, may be getting a few Greys
before this year end ;) Someone contact me down in Seattle wanting me
to take their two greys, they just dont have time for them. They are
untame, but long to sing and talk up a storm :)

I watch many videos on youtube about birds. The other day my brother
showed me a clip on youtube with starlings. There was a 1000 birds
trying to fly on two very close trees and the trees would bend with th
ebirds! As the trees bend halfway down the birds would take flight
causing the trees to spring back up, and the birds would fly about a
hundred few in a circle and return to their "toy" LOL. It was
Hilarious!

I forone dont have a favorite bird. I LOVE seeing all wildbirds flying
free and doing their thing. It amazes me and I just love it. I
remember back in Middle School I wouldnt really eat too mcuh food
during lunch so I'd take left overs that i got from my friends and my
own food outside to the field and throws it and swarm of seagulls and
crows would come. One time The field was crowde with them. Or should I
say they were al hovering over me trying to get the food? LOL. I
believe the most Gulls I attracted was about a 100 and that was on my
birthday in 6th grade. lol. Whats sad is that later that day, I
believe someone poisoned one of my seagulls friends, because I was
able to pick him up (The gulls were very attached to me and I could
just about touch them when I fed them) and he died later that day :( I
felt so horrible! So I had to teach the Gulls to be afraid of me. One
day I got an Idea, if I grabbed one of their flock mates after I fed
them, and chased them they would be afraid of me. I wanted them to be
afraid because after a while the Gulls would follow anyone around that
would throw food for them :( And some people are just down right evil!
So i decided to throw food in the Dugout(is that what you call it) in
the Baseball cage things.. and well ofcourse the gulls ran in there.
And I chases one and picked one up. It was so horrible I made it throw
up. But Im glad I did it. Because all the seagulls that day stopped
following people.. actually theyu sort of still did. Just not like 5ft
away begging for food like they did before. More like 20ft away. And
After I woudl feed them I chased them to make sure they got the point.
And well, that ended my friendship with the Gulls. I however still fed
them untill late 7th grade when the school believed that Washingotn
rains couldnt wash away Seagull poop on the gras! PSSSSSHT!! lol. But
it was for th ebest, the flock of gulls didnt com anymore,
ocassioanlly one or two can be seed on buildings and the fields but
not as in great numbers as before. I believe thats when I became "Bird
girl" well known at our school. lol.

Whoops I went over board there. lol. That all happened 4-6years ago.
