Greybaby

Your bird learns from his flock leader - you. Put him on a shower stand in the shower while you have a good time taking a shower - your grey will not be able to help himself and will eventually try it out. I like pretty warm water, so I will put the grey up high on the shower rod while I am actually washing up. Once I am done, I put the bird on the shower stand closer to the water and make the temperature as I would for my 2 yr old - lukewarm. I think that mist and bathing is also an essential when they are molting as it helps to loosen the casing around the new feather. I also read somewhere (can not remember where now) that bathing is one way to keep your bird from plucking as they develop healthy "preening" habits.

Make sure you switch your CAG to a pellet diet first. Use seeds only for a treat. Fresh fruit and veggies- all are ok - except avacado is toxic. If you have a whole foods near you - they love dandilion leaves. I heard that apple seeds are toxic so only give the fruit itself and not the seed.
