Hi family members, I just want to start a tread about the menu of your grey. I don’t know if there is a tread like this. Just want to get more ideas etc to feed greys. But here is what Max’s menu is at this moment. Morning : Fresh Water Oats Seed & Pellet mix Fruits & Veggies = Apple, Grapes, Naartjie, Broccoli, Cauliflower, Green Beans, Sliced Carrots. Evening : Fresh Water Cooked / Smashed Carrots & Potatoes Treats Thanks to all that is going to reply.

Welcome to this forum, and I do hope you enjoy your stay here with us. You should get all the info on grey's on this forum from all the family members. What you doing now to do all your research is a good thing, read all you can and as much as you can. I can't help you with any breeders because I am not in your area. But I hope you come right in finding the best breeder. Cheers and enjoy keep us up to date.

Well Bekkie, Max eats Oats every morning with us. So yeah I think it is fine. Let's see what the other family members say.

Max was hatched on Feb 14, 2007 Came home on May 6, 2007

Hey hey Karla, nice pics. I am with CD the one where T is spreading her wings is GOOD. {Feel-good-000200BB}

AHHHH So glad that he is okay after the Shock... All the best for him and you.

Max does the same, and yeah I am trying to learn him to stay. He does fly on command. But like Judy said "Patience is the key"!!

Well Max is only 4 months and couple of days old, I got him one of those calcium type perch they are also good for trimming there nails and beaks. He only gets on this perch when he wants to reach his fav food toy. And I can feel that the perch is helping because his nails arn't so sharp anymore.

Mine does some kissing noises too, and a lot of mumbling but he does all this while my fiance is busy cooking and in the morning when we are getting ready for work. The rest of the day he is more quiet and very playfull.

Here is some more of Max, mmmm let me tan my head!!! aaaaah let me tan this side too!! I wonder how the Humans unscrew this damn thing!!

Thanks peeps!!B)

Hey all, this morning when I wanted to take a bath Max was all talkative etc. He just wanted attention so I thought he is already use to the bathroom. So I took his playstand and put it right next to the door, then he decided that he wants to sit on the toilet lid so he flew there. Luckily I closed the lid b4 I got into the bath. Then he decided he wants to sit on the bathtub silver handle, so he flew there. So as I was relaxing in the tub he was just chilling on the handle. Then I thought let me see what he would do when I lay flat on my back and put him on my chest, so I did it and he did not mind the water on his feet so I splashed him a bit and it the not bother him at all. So he played with the water etc. Was quite fun to see. So I had to get out the bath to take him back to his cage so I could bath now..... {Feel-good-0002006E}

You know what you are doing Karla, you are already a senior member and it looks like the people like you. Check your karma.....{Feel-good-000200B9}<br><br>Post edited by: CeasarsDad, at: 2007/06/14 17:26

Thx, had the idea when I got Max, but when I saw your post it made my life easier to go and look for what I need. Max has been playing with one of these balls since we got him and it's been more than a month now but yeah I think the more he develops he will start to tear them apart. B)

Okay guys here is my toy that I made today....Because Max is 4 months old.....

Okay guys & girls here is my entries. Mmmmmm, this stuff is good good!!! Damn I can't open this lid!!! Lets try this side!!! I'll start by ripping of this sticker maybe it will open then!!! <br><br>Post edited by: splint101, at: 2007/06/14 08:42

What do you guys do in the winter to get the Grey dry again. I don't want to bath Max and then he might get a cold. I know that I must bath him in the morning to let him dry the whole day. But what if he is still wet in the afternoon b4 bed time?

Hi Karla, Max's poop is like a olive green with some white and some water at this moment, b4 it was like a brown green color with white and some water. But yeah it makes a difference in what they eat and drink.<br><br>Post edited by: splint101, at: 2007/06/13 09:02

Yea I think it is a good idea CD, I see so many Guests Online but they must join our family of grey owners. We could learn from them and they could learn from us at the same time.

@ Number6 - I had the same idea with the wiffle balls i just could net find some choke chain. But I think I know where I could find some this coming weekend. Will post a pic of mine when complete.

{Communicate-00020110}Whoooooot, I am so glad that you got him back. Hope he did learn a lesson.

Hi there Bekkie, what you could do is keep on putting him/her back on the stand and say stay here in a firm voice or NO Flying. With Max I am still learning him to stay still. The thing is they are still very young and they want to be with you and explore there surroundings. Max will only fly to me when I am busy preparing his dinner or Breakfast, and sometimes he will fly to my shoulder if I walk past his cage. I am learning him to only fly on command. So far he is doing very well. So yeah it takes time just keep on putting him back on the playstand. Good luck and keep us up to date.
