The color tint could be the result of an incorrect white balance when the photo was taken..

I like the swap thingy.. Why not.. We can't do sales like a craigs list. The site can't be responsible for any "deals" that are made between members.. That's sometime difficult to deal with.. So we will pass on that.. But the trade and swap thing I like..

Lets see it.. Something that changed your life or the way you think about life.. I'll go first.. It seems like 2 life times ago.. really it does.. I was working for a production company in Bergen County New Jersey. I was on assignment as a video camera operator. We were doing a production of the Special Olympics... I had never shot a Special Olympics before so I wasn't quite sure what to expect.. We got there early and the setup was 6 cameras with live switching. I was assigned the low camera which meant I was basically on the ground right near the field.. I knew from the first event it was gonna be a special day for me.. You see, the Special Olympics are competitions for the disabled and handicapped.. I can remember this moment as if it was yesterday.. Here I was, set to shoot a 100 meter dash.. ALL the runners were handicapped.. Badly handicapped in most cases.. The Gun went off and the runners started.. Oh My God.. To watch these poor souls struggle to the finish line.. Especially watching the last place finisher... NEVER QUIT even though he lost by minutes.. The EFFORT in his face was LIFE CHANGING to me.. To think of this person today still gives me drive and determination beyond belief.. We sometimes think we have it so bad in our lives.. My mother once said (god rest her soul) that if you want to see people with real problems go to a burn ward or cancer center... Shooting this Special Olympics Event changed my life and is the inspiration for much of what I do physically.<br><br>Post edited by: CeasarsDad, at: 2007/08/12 15:56

But your "ark" sinks when in a terrible storm it's struck but a 10,000,000,000 volt lighting bolt.. You survive.. I want to make everyone around me happy... then find happiness myself

No Fairy.. No song has been selected.. We need LOTS more photos before a song will be picked..

The cost of Gas goes to $10 a gallon and you can't drive it anymore.. I want true happiness in my life....

I think it's a good thing that you have Greys that bath on cue... I know there are many members here that wish they could get their Greys to bath.. And to the original poster.. My question to you would be why didn't you come back to the forum? You posted this thread in 2006.. Made one post then never returned again. I hope nothing happened to you..

PROs and CONS of Pellets. PROS: Balanced perfectly. The bird gets what it needs. Easy to feed. There are no empty shells to pick through. Add Veggies and Fruit and you're done. CONs: Expensive. Boring. Boring. Boring.

I don't think your 2 year old daughter should be around the bird. Sorry for this line of thinking but a 2 year old is way to wild in movements and other body language that the Grey will pick up on and fear.. It's also very dangerous for your daughter.. The bite of a a angry Grey will really hurt her at that age.. It's not worth the risk.. Keep her away until things settle down.. Sorry for this advice.. I know it's really not what you want to hear.. but it is the truth..

The trick is variety as Lidia says.. But this also creates a problem.. You don't know the proper variety of foods to feed them.. Hence the Pellet approach. Pellets are formulated to provide the best mix of vitamins and minerals these birds need.. So by feeding pellets, any brand is good but Harrisons is considered the best, you pretty much have your bases covered. Add fruits and green veggies and your good to go.. There are volumes of data on feeding African Greys. If you desire to research this further you have lots of info available for you.. Good luck in want ever you choose to do..

I buy the 5lb bag too.. It's lasts way more then 1 month..

Celina. Welcome to the family.. Glad you joined.. Judy is so right. They may never play together.. I know that's really not what you want to hear but it is a real possiblity... In fact, i would watch them that they don't start fighting.. That is a real possibility..

All your parts you ordered were wrong.. I'm gonna run a marathon..

Hi Lovemygreys thanks for joining and especially thanks for posting photos.. Did I tell you we love photos here.. :P

Welcome to the forum. I think you will love it here. It sounds to me like your Grey needs his nails clipped really bad.. The nails shouldn't curl like you describe. Without knowing what kind of life your bird has lived in the last 11 years it's hard to know whether or not it's behavior is normal or not. Based on the fact that it's nails as so over grown I would bet that your bird wasn't cared for very well.. I think you should start with a complete vet checkup.. Take it from there..

Ahh.. much better.. :laugh:

Truly this is how I got Ceasar to eat harrisons.. I would eat a few pellets and then offer him some by hand.. As soon as he started eating just a few pellets he was hooked..

This is a perfect example of why scales are a MUST.. If you own any type of parrot you should also own a scale.. You buy a cage... you buy a scale..

That can't be right boomer.. 174 grams is WAY too small.. Double check your scale and it's settings and check again.. If your bird really is 174 you need to be thinking about a VET visit FAST.. .

Wonderful find Dan.. :P

Hi Bill.. Here's what I did with Ceasar.. Hand feed him the pellets. Show him that you eat them.. You can you know.. and keep offering them to him.. You will find that he will eat them from your hand and if you show him that you eat them.. I have eaten many a Harrison's pellets in switching Ceasar.. You can do this.. It works..
