It wasn't like I was wasting her time, I was the only one in the store, I still go there though, it's the closest seed selling place and most pet stores around here are family run so you do tend to get alot of grumpiness, lol.
So, the grey is not allowed out, I haven't asked but I've never been into a pet shop where parrots were allowed out. Almost half the male staff seem to have fight scars/skin heads so I figure I wouldn't push it if they said no
. I have handled the bird by putting a hand through the bars and holding the bird's back while it was upside down, it closed it's eyes and let go with one of it's claws, it let me move it's leg band around with my other hand, I found it to be really friendly.Dunno I just hate the idea of it becoming an ordnament, I had this idea of taking it around places with me, both my sennies are (after spending over six years confined to dark cages and terrified of humans) incredibly tame and have both been outside on a harness, but I'd worry about going to far out with them because they're so small. The grey seems way bigger than a pigeon and I like the idea of harness training it and taking it out and about with me.
If it's still there in a few days, I'm going to try and bring someone with me to get their oppinion on the bird.
Pet shops around here including the one with the grey don't raise or breed their own birds, breeders phone the shops and sell their unsold stock.
