lovemyGreys

It only takes something to freak him,a cat, dogs barking,wild birds flying over head i just dont want him to take flight on you & they can.There is a thread here posted by Dan,ill go see if i can dig it out.

I still advise a harness, personally i wouldnt take the risk

claire they will grow so quickly & their personalities will develop,will you be able to visit them before you finally pick one ?

greenwinged did you manage to find information on the net that you wanted ?

Well if it was me i would still use a harness,i know of greys that have been clipped still taking off,you just need an unexpected gust of wind to lift him & you will be surprised how far a clipped grey can travel or provide an outdoor flight for him

:laugh: Jumping greys, thats funny, you guys should try & get videos for us

spookyhurst Thank you for posting a follow up on the story.

Very nice picture, thanks for posting.Seems we have quite a few members with cockatoo's or if your Ronda, 2 weeks !

Lupa good luck with the wellness check, please let us know what your vets has to say about her clip

Dave as Berna has explained, it's perfectly normal, but good for you for paying close attention to Cleo

Provide your pet bird with lots of things to chew on the beak of a healthy bird will remain at a healthy length with normal chewing activities. supply an unending variety of toys and perches for him to chew on & rub his beak against,A good varied healthy diet too.

Hi tyretosmom & Welcome.You will find a wealth of information here on the forum,it just takes a little time to read through all the various posts There is a search facility at the top of the page if you require information on a specific item,if your unable to find something just ask We look forward to hearing more from you.

:ohmy: OMG Ronda, how time fly's He is so big, He is a handsome guy Im sure two weeks will pass quickly for you.

Emma you can give a chicken wing or drumstick,i remove most of the meat,leaving just a little,he will find the marrowbone for himself,but you are correct about it having splinters therefore i advise you watch him all the time he has the bone

:laugh: me too Dave, basically you know what cress seeds look like then that is very similiar to sprouting seeds.

As soon as they start to sprout Dave they are at the best nutritionally,they can go in the fridge in a container for a few days,ill soak some overnight & get some pictures up for you in a few days,if they dont start to sprout after 48 hours roughly i sling them as a bad batch .

pleased to hear it siobhan, they are so good for them & a good tip for others to make a batch & keep them in the fridge,mine last about 2 days if they havent eaten them by then :pinch:

Yay congratulations kimmie, now you will have to get us a picture of Bailey & keep us informed on how he settles with you, im so pleased for you

A cute looking guy you have there

Laurie i agree with you, klaus will be fine.Has he been in the car before ? Perhaps take him on a coupel of short journeys before your planned trip to get him familiar to it

Bless baby greys are so cute, is that one yours ?

You need to pay more attention Dan :whistle:

glad you chucked the beans & peas Emma if anything gives off a funny odour it's best to throw it than feed it to your grey

Lima,kidney & soyabeans have an enzyme inhibator which basically can affect the digestion when fed in the raw state judy,cooking these beans gets rid of that enzyme & makes the beans safe to feed.
