Greywings

Sad for you and Twix.

Dave I was thinking more along the lines of the aggressive bird you mentioned not the shy independent baby.

Such a baby still, "Too" cute.

Move as soon as you are able even if in the same town at least you would have new neighbors. Placing Momo will be a difficult decision for you and the quarantine may be a better option than leaving him with people you don't feel good about. Will they allow your visits in quarantine?

What a relief I had faith you would find him, such a scary happenstance. Greyt kids he was a very fortunate birdy boy.

Let us know how he is doing please.

Eat your junk food where he cannot see you and eat healthy foods with him. I understand you may not be able to order from these folks but they have some lists of suggested items to sprout for your bird. Sprouting for Birds http://www.sproutpeople.com/seed/birds.html

Nice to know.

Also place his familiar cage in a high place, perhaps on the roof with food & water, also viewing the neighborhood from up high can give you a better chance.

Why would they choose to use a bird with that attitude in their breeding program?

Yep I believe in allowing the bird to help in choosing so please don't feel bad and things are always changing.

Welcome to the forum and looking forward to hearing how the do with you.

Handsome bird!

Ask the local kids to let you know if they see him, good eyes and a small reward helps.

Another hint is to pretend to eat the food you want him to eat and make yummy sounds to get his interest. You can offer him some on a spoon sometimes that works well.

She is wooing you as a possible mate. >:>

Is he bleeding?

Welcome indeed!

Go do every thing you can to recover him safely.

She scarfed them down, great appetite.

You are fortunate to have shared her life and she to have shared you joys and sorrows.

Progress starting to build on his trust foundation now, good work!

Please look further on this site for different recipes of very good foods for your Grey that you can make for him. Pellets are not required. Look into the section labeled bird food here is a link to make it easy, you will find some for beans, lentils & grain with veggies and fruit that are very complete nutrition and not difficult to make.

Lovely birds both, we are fortunate that your share your travels and adventures with us all.

I loved reading this page this morning it made my day! (he does like you all, don't let him know that you know)
