I read on line that Spinach is a Plus for greys because they need alot of Calcium and they need lots of it. So I'm a bit confuse when estream said spinach is not good. Can someone please explain this to me

I was thinking about buying a Nesco Food Dehydrator to keep all my Greys food fresh and Healthy. Has anyone done this.

Thank you all for the Helpful tips

Now should i give him fruit as food or only as treats Or should i fill one bowl with his regular food and other with fruits because the pet store told me to force him to eat his regular food he will eat it because he wont starve himself

My Grey is 4 months old and I notice he is very picky on the food he eats like the bird mix they gave me at the shop he only likes to eat the seeds and peanuts which they told me is not health for him just to eat that. I tried to give him the biscuits which they gave me which I have to dip them in warm water but he won’t eat them. Now today I was eating an apple and he lunched at me to get a bite so I gave him a piece and he loved it. He ate almost the whole half of apple. Which other fruits can the greys eat and what should I gave him and not give him<br><br>Post edited by: Bronxboomer, at: 2007/06/04 23:46

I just got my African Grey last Thursday he has been home with me for almost 4 days I keep him out of his cage for about most of the day playing with him and getting him use to me. Now my question is he is always scratching him self and there is always white little wish feathers around my rug and around the cage I checked him out and he is not plucking himself because I don't see any signs of spots on him. Now a few minutes ago I went to check up on him and notice one Red feather from his tail on the bottom of his cage. My question is is there always feathers around the cage and floor or is this because he is plucking himself I don't see any skin he looks good like most pictures i seen of them plucking them selfs

I just called the pet shop where i bought my bird from they said its a congo Grey. Does they male and Female act differnet from each other or do they behave the same i know in dogs the females are more over protective. I also would like to know if anyone can tell me how warm or cool do I have to keep the room for my new bird being now its summer time is it okay to have the bird in the house with the Ac on or do they like to be in the heat.

All the Grey where born on Feb 12, 2007 There is a total of 5 Happens to be the one i picked it the smallest of them all the other ones look alittle bigger and more wide. They tell me its cause my bird is still young. I was wondering maybe my bird is a midget. No i don't know if my bird is a male or female they told me i would have to pay $40 for the DNA<br><br>Post edited by: Bronxboomer, at: 2007/05/27 16:02

I bought an African Grey about 1 week ago but its still in the pet shop because its still hand feeding and they wont let me bring it home. I go to the shop every other day to visit so the bird will get use to me. My question is i notice all the other African Greys are more bigger and puffy then mine. My Bird looks very small and not that skinny but he is not as big as the others i asked the ppl at the store they said its because he is still young he was born on Feb 12 , 2007 he still has plenty to grew is this true. I would like to know some information before i bring this little guy home. Please anyone with any information i would be very greatful
