NELLIE THE CONGO AFRICAN GREY


Nellie came to us about 5 months ago.She was a little thin (pure sunflower diet) but gerenally in good health. Aged 4, she was semi-tame. Her past owner said she was all for men She would step up for my husband & son but would go the back of her cage & growl if I approached the cage. I started out by taking over her care, I cleaned the cage daily, dished out the food e.c.t. After a couple of weeks Nell stopped growling at me & started to take interest in what I was doing, her cage door was open one night & I was eating a McDonalds she climbed out of the cage, down to my knee, climbed on & started to eat my burger! I was shocked & delighted-what a breakthrough.
From that day on Nellie will only step up for me unfortunalty & we are working on that, every morning she shouts "COME ON"until she gets cleaned out & fed.She blows me kisses, says HELLO & WHAT & is starting to pick up new words.
I have taught Nellie to SHAKE HANDS and she has learned 2 colours Red & Blue.We play toghether every day & she now trys to follow me around the house
CHECK BACK SOON TO SEE WHAT NELLIE DOES NEXT
