Default Worried about my Gracie

Hi guys!

So a lot of you know that when i first brought Gracie home she would beg for an evening feeding. She would bob her head and act like a baby bird. Well she had stopped doing it about a month ago. Now she's back to doing it again. She makes this awful pitiful noise and won't stop. It's like she's begging to be fed or wants to be loved. But now she will continue to do it even if I do pick her up and love her. she'll keep doing it even if she's just eaten as well.

I don't know what I should do. We give her tons of attention all the time. And she has a well balanced diet.

Well here's a short video of what she's doing. It's from my cell phone so it's kinda a bad picture.

Ha! I know what that is, she is begging for either love, food, attention, or the car keys, either way it's a "me, me, me" thing and just like all babies the world over they will use that sweet cuddly "poor little me" trick on you till you wise up, lol.
It's nothing to be worried about as far as I can tell, I don't know the feeding schedule or how long ago she was weaned, but some will revert to wanting to be fed again, but that too is nothing really to be concerned over.
You have a beautiful little girl there and nothing to be worried about.
Please never ever hesitate to ask any or everything that you might want/need to know and I am sure that there will be someone here to help you.
Congrats again on the new family member there.

I guess what worries me is that she'll continue to make the noise even after I've picked her up to love her. It's such a sad noise! It makes me wanna cry. . .

LOL Pull yourself together there! You are in for a lifetime of noises living with a Grey, they are the masters of mimicry and will baffle you to no end with the sounds that they are capable of making.
This is just one of ... many, many more to come, trust me, lol.

LOL okay. . . I'll try to be strong and not let her little pitiful noise make me sad.
