I don't mean to be critical but I see several things wrong here in this picture. First of all the cage he is in is much too small for a grey and I see no toys for him to play with. That cage is about budgie size and he needs one that is big enough for him to spread his wings and not touch the sides. He needs toys to occupy his time and to vent his frustrations on or he might find some other way such as plucking his own feathers. Second if that is some kind of heating or cooling unit above his cage then the cage needs to be relocated, it does need to be against a wall but it doesn't have to be a corner.

I would place him by the window. Somewhere that he is part of the family.

What is the unit above his cage? It sort of resembles a ductless mini-split but that may not be what it is. Whatever it is, if it creates a draft on the bird, it's not a good spot.

Hello everyone 👋 I’ve just moved his cage and now he is in living room ( he was in my room ) , can you guys tell me whether his new place is good or not ? P.S : Since I couldn’t upload the image here I think there’s a problem with forum so I uploaded it somewhere else here is the link : https://ibb.co/jUQM07

Your English is better than some of our natives.

Thank you I really appreciate your help 🙏🙏🙏 Since he is sleeping 💤 now ( here is 2:31 AM right now ) i will surely do it tomorrow, and thanks guys for your your helps you are my savior ( I'm in middle of learning English so sorry about mistakes🙏😊

Heed the advice you have been given...Judy and everyone else is right on...get toys in there as soon as possible...Try to place kale or other green leafy or stemmed veggies (like a carrot) in between the bars of the cage. Get a small custard bowls or small dishes and keep them full of foods in the bottom of the cage at all times...(do not place under perches lol ) What you are trying to do is acclimate him to you, not you to him..remember this will take some time, maybe a lot of time...Don't give up. You might try a flat bowl if water on the bottom of his cage with room temperature water and he might take hi own bath...you could even place some parsley or small chopped lettuce in the water to entice him. it might be too soon for a spray bottle as it might spook him...Right now. he is bored. There is nothing in his cage to keep him occupied, it's like he's sitting on a bare limb in the middle of the jungle exposed to all the predators. Let him scream, toys will help and give him shelter. What you are trying to do is ignore him right now to show and make him feel you are no threat to him...as time goes on, you will get closer and closer to him and start bonding.

I was told to put a wild parrot somewhere that two side of the cage is wall so that he feels safe and also has a good vision to the house and surrounding. But when we are close to him he starts screaming:(

It’s a evaporative cooler , but we don’t use it until 3 months later and we sold our house and we will move in 2 months later so we won’t use it and in new house I will definitely put him somewhere far away from any cooler and air conditioner.

Hi i had your opinion exactly but when I bought , the salesman told me that this cage is exactly for grey african grey , in feature I will deposit money 💰 and buy a big one . and i have toys for him , but unfortunately I haven’t used them yet because hi growls whenever I approach him I afraid if i open his cage he will hurt himself;( should i put his toys in his cage in this situation is it ok ? P.S: should i shower him now ? I know about temperature of the water and water pressure , but it’s been 26 days i guess ,, do you think it’s time ?

When I first got Sterling Gris he was a young one and I finished his handfeeding. Ana Grey watched and finished off the food. They bonded because of it. I think Sterling thinks Ana Grey is his Mama. She is the leader and Sterling Gris who is twice her size believes she is his boss and follows her around.

Sure thing. Thanks alot! I ll keep questioning if i face anymore difficulties

Thank you. Next week work hm up to 50cc, stay on 3 times a day for 3 more weeks then reduce hm to twice a day. Get yourself a low cage an put 2 perches as low as you can. line the bottom of the cage with soft towels.Acclimate him out of the brooder, NO DRAFTS!!!You can put a light for extra heat if needed. He'll let you know if he's hungry...You need a postal scale and weigh him each morning after his big poop,Record it. Only formula now...Please keep us informed..

Always remember, you have the final say so on what you do. We can only offer advice.Jayd

Thank you , i hope he deals with changing his plcae .
