Koko took advantage of the chance to get in some extra scratches and they were more than willing to oblige, Koko was being very friendly.

You can figure it out Bernie, I told you that you aren't stupid, try it, I bet you can do it.

My margarita is chillin as we type, will go down mighty fine later, cheers:side:

The first thing is to take him to see an avian vet if he hasn't already to rule out any physical problem and if he is healthy then it is due to stress. Sometimes they need things to do to keep them busy and maybe pluck less. Provide him with some foraging type toys where you can put treats for him to work for. Do check thru the toys and playstands room for foraging ideas for things you can make from common household items that will keep him busy when he is in his cage.

All too familiar poses for our greys, they love to hang upside down and twist themselves into some contorted shapes, these are some greyt pics of your grey, thanks for sharing them with us.

Dreams, but really nightmares, can seem so real until you wake up and then you count your lucky stars that it wasn't real and then we all heave a sigh of relief:huh:

Men and their toys,:whistle: you have a wonderful time with your boat Bernie.

Well that certainly looks promising, they just need a little time to adjust to the changes, from the picture I would say they are going to get along fairly well, maybe even better than expected. You have two beautiful greys.

All perfectly normal Stefani and you are doing just fine, btw I didn't congradulate you on getting your new baby, now when are we gonna see some pictures of this sweet little bird.

That was so cute, those birds were amazing and like Dan I followed the dunks by species and they were all correct, I loved it, thanks so much Debbie for sharing the link with us.

Well how about that Julie, you never know until you try and you did, good for you, they may have to remain a safe distance from each other but they can be out at the same time, supervised of course. Thanks for sharing the pictures with us Julie.

It does take a while before a baby grey or any grey for that matter to settle into a new home, everything is new to him even you so give him some space right now and let him get comfortable. Most baby greys need to feel comfortable before they welcome cuddling so be patient.

You can wait for your schedule to settle into more of a routine or you can make time if you really want a grey. I work full time but I am into a pretty much set routine but that could change at any time. We never know when life takes a turn or something happens that we have a different situation so there may never be a "perfect time" to get that grey. Sometimes if we wait for the perfect time it never comes for there is always things that happen that make it difficult to get what we want.

Tanya, I am not exactly sure what you are talking about but Josey does a head shake sometimes that I guess you could describe it as shaking no but its more like she is trying to get loose a downey feather up her nares or in her face.

Canned fish is also high in added salt.

lovethatgrey wrote: I thought that every bird owner knew of the preening gland, it is located on the back at the base of the tail and when you see your grey vigorously rub their beak back there they are getting some of that oil on their beak and they distribute it over their feathers as they are preening, makes them waterproof, thats why water rolls off their feathers.

And men, don't forget men, that is the worst of the lot.

Yeah their tough luck, well I haven't left work yet but you just wait, I have the grandson this evening but when he goes to be watch out, gramdma gonna play.

Hey, hey hey, its party time, Friday afternoon, I am ready for meeting, now where is everyone else, huh, its awful lonely here all by myself!:whistle: :dry:

Exactly Pat, I share those thoughts and you should know since you have so many.

Yes he is Pat, what a difference a few weeks make, he is getting so gorgeous and handsome, thanks for sharing these pics with us, you must be so proud of him.

He could be molting but my grey when she molts she nevr looks like she has feathers missing, thats why I said what I did but if he should be plucking you will find out soon enough, just keep an eye on it.

Davey, that is so sweet and so true, you do have quite the talent for poems, thanks for sharing this with us. I may have to print this up and post it on the fridge to read every day.:kiss:

Janet, he is the cutest little thing, no wonder you are so proud of him, I just want to pick him up and squeeze him, they are so precious at this stage, thanks for sharing some pics of him with us and take care of that little fella Janet.

Mocha is a pretty thing and yes like other birds he can be naughty, thats great about his pooping on command, he is smart, very smart, thanks for sharing more pics with us.
