my oscar will not touch his pellets ever since he has tried seeds...I have tried harrison's pellets and Kaytee exact. He stopped eating bananas and will only eat soybeans...anyone have any suggestions for a now picky eater?

They do not know what caused the infection...but when he was just 4 weeks to about 7 weeks he was around lots of other birds. But I dont think that is the problem because now he is at home and not exposed to any other birds and his cage is very well kept, he gets outside time when I come home. I have spent $80 at the first vet who did not know really what was wrong and gave him medication that did not do anything. The avian specialist advised me to put him back on his antibiotics and possibly do a blood test....

Just wondering if anyone has had any problem with their CAG having blood in their stool . Ive taken Oscar to two different vets. Now he is seeing an avian specialist. He was put on medication for a bacteria and a yeast infection and then the blood stopped. Then shortly after (about 2 weeks later) starting again. So now he is on the medication again....This is why they tell you never to buy an unweaned bird... anyone's thoughts or similar situation? Thanks

hi all, thanks for the feedback. I keep trying and he keeps his feet very firm on the perch and I push a little and he will not step up no matter what. I have to pick him up first and then he will stay on my hand/arm. if i push his chest with my hand he is almost going to fall over before he steps his little foot on my hand....i guess in time. maybe he is not ready.

to judygram: yes the rope one...

i am having a hard time teaching my 10 week old baby to step up. I have to put my fingers under his feet and he is totally clueless and looks at me confused like and almost agitated...anyone know the age they start to "step up"

I remember reading a post of someone making their own Get-a-grip style bird gym....i cant find the post...can someone help? anyone done this before...they are pretty expensive to buy thanks

Hi all, Just wondering if you feed your bappy's the baby food with the syringe or spoon? I am asking because the breeder does not do this and I am reading a lot about this baby food feeding and want to know what other grey mom/dads do. thanks

thanks!!

how old is enough to start giving him this baby food? is 6 weeks too young?

is it okay to feed african greys baby food//veges or better to mash up veges....anyone can suggest first foods to introduce to bird?

What is the correct or exact temperature the handfeeding formula must be ...thanks (breeder just hand tests it ) but i want 2 b sure

Grey in Vietnames is Xam (pronounced Sam)--just a name idea

my bird does something like a cell phone ringing over and over then whistles then tries to say things...mostly hello

Thanks so much everyone!!!
