Stumbled upon this YouTube video, which really tore me up just thinking about all the mistreated and neglected birds out there with no voice to make their worlds better.

Thanks for the update!

when do congo african grey parrots start talking
Greytness replied to steph's topic in The GREY Lounge
Ziggy has certainly gone through a LOT at such a tender young age. I know that aspergillosis can negatively affect their ability to talk. Was he tested for asper the last time you had him into the vets? It's difficult to say if he'll talk again. The fact that he once spoke makes me think that he will again one day. -
Is your grey feeling any better now?

Happy New Year, Grey Family!

This article was written by our avian vet years ago. It's a lengthy abstract, but thoroughly covers plucking and self mutilation. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/11749494_Feather_Picking_and_Self-Mutilation_in_Psittacine_Birds

Using a fine misting bottle to spritz them down in between bathing. Since this is new behavior, he could have something else bothering him, whether it's a hormonal surge or perhaps an underlying infection or metal toxicity from beaking on cheap bells, etc.
-
How often does he bathe or have a spritzer bath? I'd bump up the baths for one. He looks like he's over preening his feathers. If he's feeling dry and itchy he might be messing with his feathers more.
-
If this is a change in behavior for him, then I would take him into the vets tomorrow. When they show signs of illness or lethargy, they are often pretty sick. Please don't wait.
-
None for us, either, I'm afraid.
-
I interpret them as being things they can pick up vs things that can hang toys.
-
Uh oh. Trouble's brewing ahead!
-
HAHAHA! I'd also saved this one from that FB grey forum to share here!

That just about sums up how this morning went in our household. Had things that needed my immediate attention, so the flock had to wait 1.5 hours past their normal breakfast time. All eyes were on me until breakfast was served.

They are beautiful kitties! Congrats on your new family members!

That 3 bell perch is in all of my greys' cages. They love to ring them simultaneously. It's one of their favorite toys/perches. I just made an atom out of pliable 1 inch pvc. Right now they think it's a strange evil device hanging up in their aviary, but in time they'll learn to love it.

This chart just about sums everything up!

I think that we all have those days where we're dragging ourselves around with a tank almost on empty. I'm sure that Timmy appreciated the call backs. It's reassuring for them to receive a reply to their calls. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day for you.

Adorable! That music tho! 😂

I have a 6 year old panama amazon named Harley.

It might mean a lot to them to have us reaching out to show we are thinking of them

Does anyone know how Jayd is?
-
Oh no! Timmy is sending you one painful signal of his displeasure, It is possible that he could be territorial over his cage or simply not wanting to go back in at that time. Moving forward I would put him back in minus any scritches. Perhaps a treat and make it a day. Or have your mom continue to do the honors.

Oh no...I'm so, so sorry to hear your devastating news. I wonder if she might have had a quick growing spinal cord tumor. Regardless, losing a best friend leaves a huge unfillable hole in our hearts. Sending you peace, comfort and healing as you learn how to live without her.
