Hi Everyone,My grey is 8 mo. old and all he says is hello. I keep trying to expand and offer a lot of other phrases related to what he likes. for example, he loves scramble eggs in the morning with me and I am trying to get him to say "more egg" or anything else! What should I be doing to help him increase his language. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks much, Gloria

Thank you everyone for your input. this is wonderful forum for grey owners. Gloria

Thank you for informing me not to give to much attention. I have been feeling guilty about 1:1 time and out of cage time. I am planning on getting a much bigger cage to accomodate more toys, etc. I am nervous about out of cage time unsupervised because I live in a beautiful century house with fabulous woodwork and I can't risk his munching on the woodwork. I've seen what a grey can do to a fine wood antique. That grey got booted out of the house for ruining the antiques. A grey has gotto do what a grey was born to do.

Hello folks, I am new to the forum and have appreciated the good feedback and information to my previous question. Now I have a new one: My grey is almost 6 mo. old. 1. When is the best time (age)to start potty training and how do I go about it? 2.I noticed that when Kofi gets upset (not enough attention from me ) he does projectile pooping outside the cage. Is this common? I have simply ignored it and tried to be more proactive and give him as much attention as I can, but it is hard with a full-time job and other responsibilities. any assistance with the potty training will greatly be appreciated. Thanks much, Gloria

I prefer to sterilize the branches by placing them in the oven. About 300 degrees for 30 min. Keep close eye on them to avoid a possible fire.

Hi, yes I did name him after Kofi Annan. I wanted something that reflected his heritage. Kofi means born on a Friday in the language (I can't remember) and I ended up picking him up on a Friday.

Thank you so much! the web site was so helpful. This was so helpful. Gotto go cut some branches and sanitize them for Kofi.

I have read that since greys love to chew , fruit tree branches can be provided. My question, I have researched and have not found the mulberry plant in either the toxic or safe list. Does anyone know whether it is safe or not. I have a big mulberry tree in my yard and I want to offer it to my grey. Does anyone know?thanks, Gloria
