jjcool i think you are going too fast for your cag.. patience dude.... atleast your bird lets you stroke it.. my cag wouldnt let me touch him also.. go slow or your bird will get stressed out.. just let him be for few weeks, maybe months as far as i have heard might take yrs too :blink: have patience btw nice pic.. is he 2 yrs old.. i feel he is more older then 2 years..<br><br>Post edited by: imran, at: 2007/09/16 11:41

2 yrs old cag takes time..have loads of patience... if you get a baby then its much easier.. but the training time is same.. 2 months is very less for training i made my cag step up this way.. i took a cloth covered the whole hand from the elbow till my finger.. and told polly to come step up here.. he climbs up then.. but not on my hand yet.. he is also a semi tame cag.. i ll try this later on, i ll remove the cloth slow and steady.. its a lonnnnnnnnng process jjcool.. take it easy.. and regarding thy being quite.. try to make him sit at a place where he can see the sky and other birds n leave him alone for sometime.. he ll start enjoying by himself <br><br>Post edited by: imran, at: 2007/09/15 11:42

polly makes the clicking sound too.. he ll fluff up and come close to me slowly and make that "CLICK" sound.. i dont find it irritating.. it could be tht your grey might be trainned by a clicker earlier(MAYBE)just assuming and he recollected the sound now.. dont have any advice hw to make him stop making tht sound

hi john.. welcome.. hope u find a lot of info. here.. i got a lot of info abt greys here.. hmmmm all gave u perfect advice.. regarding toys my grey also doesnt play with toys but loves to chew on wood and paper... about food my grey is fussy he only loves seeds.. so i cut veggies in small size and mix them with his fav. seed... he used to throw the veggies out he still does it.. but i never give up.. try the same thing.. put apple,carrot etc in small pieces with his fav. food. dont give up.. one day he ll start eating.. i am happy u helping ur grandpa.. it takes time.. so have a lot of patiences good luck

yea beccy i agree with you... everyones got young babies... averaging from 4mtnhs to 2 years but .... user Lidia has Joushua whose 18yrs.. and a new member dennies has a grey whose 14yrs.. so these 2 can give us all the most information

hi everyone.. it makes me really happy tht he is fine now... its a relief danmcq the vet prescribed me with multi-vitamin drops used for babies (i ll get you the name soon at work now) which i m supposed to give him 2 drops for 2 times a day.. i noticed polly is being playing much more now.. i think the vitamins giving him a boost :laugh:

hi everyone.. so today was a vet visit.. polly is fine now.. and recovered a lot.. it was just defeciency of vitamins and too much intake of sunflower seeds.. this is a good site to see repiratory track info. hope ppl find it useful http://www.petparrot.com/Illnesses.htm

hey friends.. thanks a lot for your concern.. frankkie thank you so much.. ya i stay in india in pune.. and i found a vet next to my place.. but yest. was sunday and today was a national holiday being parsi new year. i gave polly more steam and his cold melted.. he is eating well and he woke me up at 6 am and started his ususuall mimicry.. he played for 1 hr and ate and is fine now.. i ll get him to the vet tommorow.. but he is much better thanks a million this forum is really a help to all of us..

hi everyone.. due to climate change in our city. it started raining a lot and became really cold..so my whole family caught viral infection.. cold, cough and fever.. one by one it spread to all and now polly caught it too there are no vets around my place.. from 2 days he is just been sleeping and his right nostril is leaking mucus.. its white and clear like saliva.. he removed some from his mouth too.. his left nostril is clear and dry but his right nostril leaks at times and white salvia kind bubble comes out from it... can some one help.. i gave him some steam with the steamer and he felt happy. he has lost little weight too.. can some one help and give me some remedies since no vets are around.. thank you <br><br>Post edited by: imran, at: 2007/08/19 18:32
