boomergirl Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 (edited) The last few days there has been a bird which sits on our balcony or in the tree next to it. It has tried to fly into our apartment bouncing off the glass sliding doors, or just crouches on the balcony floor peering in! It is about a foot long with an equally long tail. It is dark gray with a dark green curved beak, and dark red around the eyes. The tail is made up of about 8 feathers each with a large white polka dot on the end. We live in Green Hill Place at Huay Kaew and Super highway.

eyecatcher Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Beats me why the OP resorts to a very poor description after a few days. Didn't you take some photos.....then mr hawk doesn't have to make a special trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is possible to make suggestions politely, isn't it? You could have said something like " It's great you showed your concern. Could you possibly take a photo and post it. That way, Hawk would be saved a trip." Is this how you talk to your customers? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrry Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Maybe if Mr Kawk had posted a photo in his thread she would have recognised it. Hope the parrot finds the home it wants. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naked Snake Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 (edited) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_Grey_Parrot why did i have to do that are you all so internet challenged? i'd say doesnt fit the description unless male and female are somewhat different. not reading further at wikipedia Edited January 3, 2014 by Naked Snake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawk Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 i'd say doesnt fit the description unless male and female are somewhat different. not reading further at wikipedia You are right the bird doesn't seem to be an African grey at all from her description but I still thought I would like to see what it is, and I personally never put up a picture because Google is simply a click away, then click images and out pops hundreds of African grey pictures.

aussiebrian Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Birds often fly into a glass window because they either can't see it or they see a reflection of the clouds, trees in it. Many die like this with a broken neck or other injuries.

boomergirl Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share Posted January 4, 2014 This bird is not planning to leave any time soon !! He perches on the balcony rail, puffs out his chest and settles down or flies up into the tree into the branches adjacent to the balcony, hopping slowly from branch to branch. He walks around the balcony on his little feet- does not appear hurt in any way. Sometimes he walks over to the glass doors sitting and peering in.- very disconcerting. By the way, I know about birds flying into window glass. This one only tried it once, then sat on the railing and shook his little head. Since then he sometimessits down at the base of the doors and "walks" straight up the glass flapping his wings. Other than those-infrequent- times, he seems very calm and patient not stressed . He MUST HAVE BEEN a pet of someone's. I will have to start feeding him soon because I feel bad about him. However, I do not want a pet. ANYBODY WANT HIM ????? He is EXACTLY like the bird that Isanbirder said. SEE THIS LINK 'http://orientalbirdi...php?Bird_ID=417 I am in Green Hill 1, follow the little road past Maya - ask for the lady with the mother in a wheelchair or call me at 089-087-6200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrry Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 He is seeing his reflection in the glass doors and exerting his territorial rights. Maybe you could spray cleaner or something on the windows so they are not as reflective. No need to feed he should be able to get food himself.

Big Pinkie Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 (edited) perhaps your balcony lights are attracting insects/something it likes to eat. just a wild guess Edited January 4, 2014 by Big Pinkie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isanbirder Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 He's not 'like' the bird, Boomergirl; that's what he is. He would usually be rather skulking, and feeds on small vertebrates and fruit. He is not, as far as I know, ever kept as a cage bird. I have no idea what your bird is up to! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Pinkie Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 "feeds on small vertebrates": geckos chasing the insects at the balcony lights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orchidlady Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 As long as it's not causing any problems enjoy it. I recently got a bird that sits on my balcony after midnight and sings his lungs out. Keeps me awake until 2 am or so. I can hear it through ear plugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomergirl Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share Posted January 4, 2014 He is not attracted by lights since it is daylight and there are no lights ever on my balcony- only sunshine and shade.The only attraction now is his bird poop Today I kept the curtains closed , even though I like to let the sunshine in these days, and he did not come on the balcony. He stayed in the tree. He is NOT acting like a wild bird. Read my lengthy description above. He is just waiting for me to let him in. He acts like a tame pet. Is there a wild animal rescue group here?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
