Hi Jessica, welcome to the froum. After your baby reaches 6/7 weeks of age and has made the transition from brooder to cage, it is time to begin introducing weaning food. moistened Pellet food is a safe food to start weaning your baby onto with the addition of seed,fruit, veggies.Also have a separate water dish next to his food. here is a link on handfeeding, it is for a general guideline only & each baby will vary http://www.greyforums.net/forums/the-nursery/73409-handfeeding-a-baby-grey.html

Thanks Tari, there is only 6 of them in there so i may add one more tiel & one more budgie when i can find some babies or healthy re-homes near me

They stay outdoors all year round Judy, on the first picture you can see plastic sheeting that needs to be removed, the whole avairy was covered in that for the winter, now the weathers looking good i only have them two panels to remove

worth mentioning it to the vet Aron,I hope Kira is ok

Hi Kenny,Welcome to the forum.we look forward to hearing more from you

you show off as much as you like, A great job,love the foraging tray & pink perches

:laugh: Yep it is hard to choose names, like picking your childrens names, they are going to have it for the rest of their lives

:laugh: Yes Judy while the cats away the mice will play

I think it's just down to personal chioce Siobhan.My boys were weaned on to seed along with fruit,veggies & everything else.They were fed a high quality seed mix & remain on that today along with everything else they eat.My seed is no means cheap, along with a tropical mix,pulses i spend in the region of £50 per month, not including their veggies & fresh fruit

Thanks for reminding us Siobhan :pinch:

Carol i have just caught up with this thread, please know you are in my thoughts & prayers x

Here is a link to some African names with meanings if your after something a little different http://www.babynamenetwork.com/baby_names/origins/African_baby_names.cfm

Always allow yoda to tilt his head to you for a scratch, never force him to have one

He wont be fully weaned at 10 weeks Fal, but babies will start to refuse less hand formula,follow your baby on how much formula he wants to take,be sure to offer a good variety of foods.Plenty of mixed veggies,fruits,pulses,moistened pellet/ a good quality seed mix with a low amount of sunflower seed.

congats Claire, lovely name Violet

Lovely picture Siobhan,Liath looks right home in the sunshine.

arrior how old is your baby now ? is she fully feathered ? if so give her a gentle mist with a spray bottle,feel with a little tepid water,freezing cold may give her a shock,gently spray above her so the mist falls down over her like rain drops

Great pictures,he will benefit so much from the outdoors.

Some things are just meant to be Sandra, fortunately you was able to meet Lucy & instinct & judgement came into play for both you & Lucy.Sometimes birds just dont get the correct vibes from us & vice versa.Im sure Lucy will find the right owner. not to much of a wasted trip if you had a good time

Keep me updated on your progression

Crack them in half for your grey,be sure to have a smell & make sure it's not a bad nut before giving it

:laugh: That's a wonderful second picture Dave,thanks for bringing a smile to our faces.
