Thanks for posting the video of Ace,He sure is a cutie.

Your vet could always remove the band for you,many owners have had them removed without any distress to their bird

Personally it could be a mixture of the two, I think he was covered for too long a period,he may have been freaked by it to be honest,has he been covered for long periods like this before ? Did you not interact with him before leaving for work ? can you not give him a shower outside of his cage ? Perhaps he doesnt take to kindly to his home getting wet

When i knew i was getting my first two greys i must admit thats when they took over my life i would buy toys,perches etc each week,i was & still am a total shopaholic when it comes to buying birdie goodies .If you start now then you can put things away & it will help spread the cost

Here in the UK they would have the year the grey hatched, the breeders initials, PSUK , & maybe an allocated clutch number.Every leg band is individual to that grey. Hopefully are US members can fill you in on what the US bands indicate <br><br>Post edited by: lovemyGreys, at: 2008/09/16 22:31

Hi Bren & Welcome to the forum We look forward to hearing more from you.

Hi Mark & Welcome to the forum. We have a nursery room which has some good information on baby greys,be sure to pop in there & have a read We look forward to hearing more from you.

Poor little guy,your both in my thoughts .

Tony here is a previous thread for you to have a look through, the one i posted a picture of is the one Caroline ( Casper ) & i both had made by a guy here in the UK http://www.greyforums.net/forums/african-grey/58348-playgyms.html#85571

Well i think Casper is perfectly ok for a little girl & as she knows it i wouldnt change it nice picture shame your amazon is camera shy !!

Tigger is a stunner,ekkies are far to cute

fingers crossed Steve it is Captain Thanks for your help on this one Caroline.

Thats great that you had results with your grey birdman.Every grey responds differently to different product but im pleased you had success We have a welcome room,why not pop in & introduce yourself

They are lovely pictures Di,love monty & daddy,typical man asleep on the sofa :laugh: Thanks for sharing.

Yes i would Di,my greys dont have cages but my Macaw loves to shred the newspaper & picks up dropped food,i removed the grill from her cage & like you change it daily.Im sure Monty will have fun in there & you could add some foot toys for him to have a play with

Hi Jamricka & Welcome to the forum. We look forward to hearing more from you

Thanks for posting & sharing Chole with us.

Hi j2judybug & Welcome. Sometimes our greys poop can smell,give off a little odour.If the poop looks ok & she is not showing any outwards sign of illness then i think your be fine.If your in any doubt then please consult your vet. Here is what i posted earlier on a different thread Droppings actually consist of three recognizable parts: feces, clear urine and a white urine called urates. Generally, the feces part of the dropping should be green or brown. It should be solid and coiled like a snake, segmented or in pieces. The urine portion of the stool should be clear and watery. Urates should be an opaque white-beige crystalline material. Sometimes the urine and urates are mixed, creating a cloudy-looking material, but usually they are separate.

Looks fine to me,Having four greys i get a mixture of poop ! but sometimes they will do a bigger poop during the day.Just keep an eye on him & be on poop control for a few days, as long as he isnt showing any other symptons,i think you have nothing to be worried about

Hi Tony & Welcome to the forum,we look forward to hearing more from you
