Everyone I’ve ever known with African greys regrets them sooner or later! Spitting medicine seems to be par for the course.

I love it when you talk about your birds, even though I think that’s mostly been in email. I think you should feature your birds heavily on your blog :) They are fascinating and most have no idea how intelligent and ornery they can be!

He sorta pushes it with his tongue and vigorously shakes his head spraying it everywhere.

What a beautiful bird – and so funny!

I can’t believe he spits medicine out at you.

Absolutely no different than kids trying to give them medicine……….

And they also repeat words you think they didn’t hear! Just blame it on TV.

It was a shock to have him look me in the eye and talk to me, not just say random words and phrases like most of the time:>

Hilarious. As I have to clamp down the boys for their medicine, though they haven’t learned any words to call me yet. I don’t know if I could handle a pet calling me a name.
cumudgeon- nice word, Thanks for teaching me that.

This story was meant to be funny, though it is a true story I kid you not. You expect your kids to crack wise once in a while but not your pet. I’m glad you laughed.

What a beautiful bird! At first I thought you were talking about a child too…

I read the first paragraph and flashed back to having to sit on a certain 2 yr old (now 19 and 6’3″), head clamped between my knees and nose held shut with one hand while I poured pink stuff down his throat. I’m pretty sure the method would be discouraged nowadays.
Then I saw the bird and had to laugh.
