My name is Gryffin

I am a Eclectus Parrot

I am female

I don't know if I am left or right pawed

Sunday April 23, 2006 is the day I hatched out

I was adopted on Thursday November 2, 2006

The things that I eat (my likes & dislikes):

Eclectus absolutely need a high percentage of vegetables in their diet, even more so than most parrots. She is a very picky eater which makes it a challenge at times. She absolutely LOVES seed which she gets a little of a few times a week, and she loves Roudybush pellets (although Eclectus are not supposed to eat pellets, but a small amount of natural colored is fine). They are only in her cage for the night. Gryffin loves Cheerio's cereal and spray millet as treats.

What does my house (cage) look like:

She has a 24x36 powder coated cage, in a black with silver vein color. Dometop style.

My personality can be described as:

Gryffin has a strong personality as many Eclectus do. The females are naturally dominant in this species. She is a very independent parrot, but she is extremely tame, and loves attention. She has a very bad jealous streak with other birds though

The toys I have (my likes and dislikes):

Gryffin likes a wide variety of toys, both hanging and foot toys. She likes everything: shreddable, wood, plastic, bells, acrylic, cloth, etc. She also loves stuffed animals, but they have to be tough enough to withstand her big beak! I buy her dog toys now so that they're pet safe with no small parts, and she is supervised when she uses them. She also loves sitting for hours at the top of her boing, just watching.

The sounds that I make (and the words I speak):

Gryffin says Hiiiii, Helloooo, Good girl, Good boy, Good Gryffin, Ow!!, Careful-careful... When she yells full blast, she can be very loud. She makes various noises when the tv is on, and it causes me to miss what is being said She has a very cute voice when she talks and mumbles, and she makes funny noises as well

Something special about me:

Gryffin is very special... through all her seriousness, there is also an adorably cute side to her. She also makes me laugh every day, even though she has absolutely no sense of humor. She is so funny still, with how cute her face is, and the funny cute sounds she makes, and how clumsy she looks as she moves around - along with the fact that she is trying to be so serious, I find it quite hilarious!
