Please feel free to correct anything that you feel is wrong. I put the blog up as a general guideline. Also next to 'growling' it does state to back away from the bird and leave it alone as it does not want to be touched. To me aggression/fear closely match in a greys behaviour as a fearful bird will be aggressive.

For example, growling is *not* aggression, it is a *fear* response, and one should back away immediately from a fearful bird. Can the writer say where they came up with these interpetations of greys' behaviour? Thanks!
