Can anyone relate to your grey barking at another member in your family?
Rocco has started to bark at our budgie...He would walk right up to his cage and start barking at him...We introduced him to our budgie and he's never bothered him until a few days ago...
Is he trying to start a friendship or should I be worried that my budgie is food to him?

We got Doodles in October and at first she paid very little attention to our budgie (who we have hanging from the ceiling ... just in case Doodles gets any ideas!). Then one day, once she had settled in a bit, it was as if she saw him for the first time (or heard him ... Larry chirps and chatters all the time!) and would stand beneath the cage and stare up at him. Every now and again I catch her doing that. She has never barked at the budgie but is starting to use barking to communicate with us, or at least I think that is what she is doing. This barking thing is brand new this week so I'm still figuring it out!
You might just want to make sure your budgie isn't within grabbing reach, just in case!

Tigger used to bark at Grandma's budgie (grandma's budgie is no more.. not an act of Tigger... ). He barks sometimes at the birds outside, I think he is communicating. Tigger is a very very vocal dog, barks all the time. He has to let the neighbours know when we come home from our walks, just incase they cared at all. Abby never barks. In the 6 months we have had her she has barked twice. She whines as communication. Tigger barks at everyone, if someone walks by and doesn't say hi, Tigger lets them know. If he likes how you pet him, he makes this little growl noise. He growls when we play, barks at Grandma on the phone if she calls. Like I said, he is super vocal.

Thanks Ruth & Tigger & Abby's Mom...quite interesting...Rocco has just started barking at us, too...and he whines while we take him for a walk because none of his friends are in sight when we go...how adorable...mind you I'm still getting use to use his loud bark at cats and squirrels...he's quiet most of the time so I jolt when he barks out of the blue...
