Here's a link to a video of Ollie saying "shake shake."

My greys are Gabby and Jello. Gabby just turned 3 years old last week and Jello will be turning 3 next March. They are housed together (both females) and love swinging on a set of 3 rings and their orbit toy -- I still marvel at the sight of the "stately" and "staid" greys in my house swinging on their orbit like monkeys. I wonder how many others' greys are swingers like my two! LOL

Lately I have noticed that Gabby and Jello seem to be demonstrating some "pair" behavior even though they are both female. I see Jello acting "male-like" with Gabby -- she tries regurgitating for her and I've seen her put her foot on Gabby's back a few times. I have been doing some reading (but have lots more to do) and have found that when 2 females are kept together, some claim it is not uncommon for one to adopt typical male behavior. It is my understanding that this type of behavior can mislead some into thinking they have a mated pair if they don't have the birds sexed.

I've never heard this. Interesting.

Ollie swings on her orbit all the time, Kelly. She also does this with her boing. She'll flap and scream as loud as she can.

Well Jazzy (puff daddy) is a little over 5 months old and has become my shadow. He has jumped from his cage a few times to get to me but now has learned to crawl down to a foot stool we have near the cage. He has learned tons of whistles from the great outdoors already and is trying to say "what are doing" and "Night Night". He has become quite the cuddler at night. It is awesome that he gets so relaxed and stretches out on me and sleeps. He still grabs my finger and reverts back to hand feeding moments. He tries to swallow my finger!
I still have major problems with foods and pellets although i do laugh when he looks at the food and says nuh uh and takes off with me saying uh hu following behind him.
His personality is starting to show and it seems like he can be a little rough and hyper. He does not seem to be afraid of too much. Every evening he has an imaginary predator that visits.
I think he is going to be a pretty good talker because he mumbles ALL the time. The louder the tv the more he mumbles so i turn it down to try to catch what he might be saying then he shuts up.
The biting has finally come to an end thank goodness although i still watch out just in case but when i am handling him i really do not seem to think about it.
He has just become my silly boy and enjoy him SO much!!

It sounds like things are going great with him! Ollie still pumps too- I think most birds will do that at any age when you touch them on either side of their beak.

I had the worst time getting Ollie to regularly eat her pellets. Is Jazz still eating formula?

Ollie eats his pellets like its sunflower seeds. He has no problem eating pellets. I do notice if I feed him a lot of special treats that he will taper off eating the pellets, so I have learned to give him treats in moderation and less often.

No, jazz was weaned at 3 months. Because of his pumping so much i thought i would try oatmeal again. He could not get enough!!! I was so happy to see this so tonight i ground his harrison pellets and mixed it in and again he downed it. I know this may not be teaching him to eat his pellets but atleast i know he is getting goodies in him.
The vet said take everything besides pellets away for a couple days but i have been hesitant.

Sounds like everyones babies are doing great!!!
