omg lovely cong african grey i love those!!!! what other types of birds do you have i have a green cheeked conure a goffins cockatoo and a lovebird :) theyre my pride and joy

Nice Gray... Hope he never runs into any trouble with those flight feathers, though.

oh he's sooooo darned cute! my hubby would love a nice big bird like that... i make him stay with cockatiels, and our budgies, canaries and parrotlet... poor guy... he wants a big bird and won't ever get one cause he'll never have enough time for one!

thanks for sharing those gorgeous pics!

What a fabulous looking bird! He looks like so much FUN!

He's gorgeous.. but I really love your mynah! Where did you get him/her? Someday I want a mynah..

Thanks people larry is a laugh a minute :cool:
as for Jack my Mynah , ive had him now for about 9 years. i bought him from a petstore...his owners had to sell him as they were moving away somewhere , hes funny as hell too , mynahs seem to be not as common as they used to be finding a breeder is hard but not impossible.....there out there :)
heres a couple pics of jack

He's gorgeous.. thanks for the pics.

I have a few mynah bird sites bookmarked.. you're right, there aren't many breeders out there.

yeah , dunno why there awesome birds , real friendly too :D
If i had the time and space i would definatly think about setting up an aviary and start breeding them

Oh they are both gorgeous and so beautifully feathered! Do both Jack and Larry talk a lot? I grew up with a local pet store that was famous for it's Mynah, Soc, who knew a lot of words (sometimes I swear that bird understood which words to use to get a desired result! LOL)

yep they both talk jack dosent say as much as larry thou but jack has a much clearer voice

Larry has just learnt to say "hello my names Michael Caine" LOL
he has said it in a cockney accent a couple times now aswell lol he has this mad laugh aswell :D
larry also say "night night" ,"whats up!" "whats up larry" "he also bobs his head up and down when i put music on and says "dance" lol he also says "chad...go on , bad boy chad" lol (chad is my dog)
hes says quite a few other things aswell that i cant remember off hand

Jack say "hello" asks if your "Alright?" shouts WOW and does some weird jungle sounds , he also without fail will say "NO" if anyone here asks a question lol

Nice birds! They are so much fun except when they are shrieking for no apparent reason. I have heard Greys are much quieter than most parrots. Is it true?

Aren't Greys considered the smartest of all parrots. I remember watching a show on the Discovery Network about this Grey being studied at a university and it just blew me away how this bird could understand concepts of color, shape, construction material of certain objects (wood versus felt for instance).

So far larry has not let out a single shriek , he can be loud at times when laughing etc but it isnt ear pearcing , , i have heard this about greys being quieter too , and so far larry seems to be proving this :)

yup that grey you are talking about is callled Alex he is amazing :cool:
ive heard that there trying to learn alex to read now! :eek: , recent studies seem to think that african greys seem to have the intelligence of a 13 year old and the emotions of a 4/5 year old

heres a link on alex - http://www.alexfoundation.org/

im actually afraid of birds (yeah, i know, kinda silly, i can deal with snakes and horses, but not birds:rolleyes:), but they are absolutley beautiful!

That is one awsome African Grey, I love them, they are my favorite. I just dont have the time to give it the attention they need. Too many dogs and snakes.:D Congrats!

What a pretty boy you have!! That last pic of Larry is just a riot!!!!! :D :D
