I bought a grey parrot 3 week ago and for this week i think my parrot is more comfortable than previous 2 weeks ,now he whistles in morning and wakes me up always about 8 A.M :)) , now when I approach him he growls less than previous weeks , but the sad thing about him is that my parrot doesn’t have a good past and my vet told me that you can’t tame him easily considering what he went through and just Give your parrot away and buy a tamed one , i disagreed and i told him i don’t care and i want to rescue him because I don’t want to send him back to pet-stores with bad condition and ... i think my parrot found out what I said to the vet and now he is more comfortable with me . 😂 this is my weekly update about BoBo ( his name ) :))))

Thank you for answering. well , i didn’t pay attention about making eye contact with my parrot thanks for reminding. I always make eye contact with my parrot and i think that’s why he freaks out much more than I expect 😬 I won’t do it again 😬 P.S: I watched that videos and that macaw was very cute:)) Grey are so sensitive I think, and i owned a grey parrot about 3 week ago , and i wanto share my process and improvment every week , don’t miss it :))

Hello 👋 guys i have a question, do you guys recommend power pause technique? And can you say why ? Does this method bother grey parrots? And if you have used this technique could you plz tell me that it worked or not , and if it did can you explain how exactly you used this technique ? Btw i found out that my parrot really loves sun flower seeds and loves to play with unshelled almond but they aren’t healthy so i actually don’t refill his feeder with this almond and sunflower seeds and i give him fruits, but all the time im stressed that maybe He doesn’t like them and die due to starvation so i try to give him 5-8 sunflower seeds 4 or 5 times a day as a treat is it good? But also he still hates me😂😂 He is a conservative bird :)))

Hello jayd tnx for answering , the problem is that winter here is very cold for grey parrots and i cant open the window and sun is weak, also our windows are made from tinted glasses so they make the situation even worse 😬 are you sure spectrum light is ok for parrots? By the way i have a irrelevant question is unshelled peanuts ok for parrots?

Hi 👋 first I want to thank whoever helped me and replied to my topics. Im very curious about vitamin D i know it produces when the bird is exposed to sunlight but actually my room is not exposed to the sun , and if the birds don’t have sufficient vitamin D their body cannot absorb calcium, so i asked a vet he told me , “use multivitamins and also use powder of cuttlebone and eggshell and sesame in his food”. Another vet told “me use spectrum light above his cage “, and another vet told me “i dont suggest spectrum light just change his place where there’s sunlight” ( and last one is a little bit weird because , it is winter. And sunlight is weak and cannot pass through glasses , ) too many different ideas:/ what do you think guys? Plz let me know . And sorry for mistakes in my topic im not a native English person

Well unfortunately they catch the parrots from the nest and smuggle them in my country so these parrots are not at a good condition actually i posted my wild caught African grey growls. By the way, thanks 🙏 for answering.

Hello guys , well , i made a mistake unfortunately , I thought if i sit next to his cage and dont pay attention to him he will stop growling and screaming but seems i was wrong and now he is scared of me much worse i dont really know what I should do to take that little trust back , and now when ever i go to my room he starts growling:/ any tips guys ? My parrot is 1y and about 2 months and i have him/her about 17 days

Your your answer was really beautiful , actually it changed my point of view . Thank you so much 😊

Hi, I bought a wild caught 1.2-year old congo grey Africa parrot 14 days ago and I haven’t seen any improvement yet . Whenever I approach him to refill his feeder he freaks out and start to growl and scream continuously , I read an article somewhere that if i refill his feeder just in half of the capacity and instead approach him more for refilling his feeder he will understand that you are kind to him and this method actually will boost it’s improvement but I don’t see any improvement:( you know guys , i saw people here that tame their parrot within 2 weeks , and i feel frustrated and desperate , could you please help me to tame him ? I’m actually kind to him pamper him all day and talk to him softly but maybe my parrot doesn’t like me at all and he maybe rejected me 😬 maybe he doesn’t like men:(((
