I would have your greys calcium levels checked first before useing supplements,a high intake of calcium and vitamin D is a potential source of hypercalcemia , calcification of the bones and some tissues, such as kidneys or heart.

Lovely picture, thank you for sharing.

chint im sorry that you decided against a necropsy,but i agree with BMustee For the sake of Raja please do take him/her for a vet check just to be sure.

Hi Mariam , Welcome to the forum . We look forward to following Toonie's progrssion.

Imme if you are going to leave him just for a few hours leave a radio or Tv on in the background for him

:laugh: It was i found it on the net & seeing that your the only irish person i know :laugh:

A conservatory near to your kitchen is not the ideal place, because of the often rapidly changing temperature and humidity as a result of cooking, the lethal fumes associated with Teflon coated kitchen utensils and the obvious hazards while cooking is in progress. Greys are very social birds they will want to interact with the family, so locating the cage in the family room is a better option

Hi Kimmie, not long to go now We look forward to pictures so if you can tear yourself away from your baby dont forget to post them

David Attenborough's Life Of Birds DVD Teresa but not sure if it covers African greys :unsure:

Everybody on earth dies and goes to heaven. The Lord comes and says "I want the men to make two lines. One line for the men that dominated their women on earth and the other line for the men that were dominated by their women. Also, I want all the women to go with St Peter." Said and done, the next time The Lord looked the women are gone and there are two lines. The line of the men that were dominated by their women was 100 miles long, and in the line of men that dominated their women, there was only one man. The Lord got mad and said, "You men should be ashamed of yourselves. I created you in my image and you were all whipped by your mates. Look at the only one of my sons that stood up and made me proud. Learn from him! Tell them my son, how did you manage to be the only one in this line?" And the man replied, "I don't know, my wife told me to stand here" Guess that say's it all :laugh:

:laugh: I know the feeling having two dogs + the four greys

Hi PicassosMom,Good luck in your search for a grey, rescuing is such a fulfilling thing to do & we will be here to help you.

Hi Autumn &

They are very nice pictures of Shani, thanks for sharing.

Chint my heart goes out to you, to lose a much loved pet in such a sudden way with no prior warning is devastating. The symptons of Teflon poisoning would fit in with what you describe, clinical signs of illness are birds dropping off their perches or showing severe respiratory distress & death follows very shortly, if it was this then i would be at a loss as to why Raja did not suffer too..Please if you have any pans with Teflon coating replace them.I feel it wasn't from the toys either.In my personal opinion & i am not qualified in avian medicine,just knowledge i have gained, i would suspect it may have been a stroke, heart attack, or a cardiac arrythmia caused by arteriosclerosis.Atherosclerosis is a common disease in parrots. The disease is found in all parrots but is especially common in older African greys.The most common sign is sudden death.I hope that the necropsy will give you the answers you need.

10. God worried that Adam would always be lost in the garden because men hate to ask for directions. 9. God knew that Adam would one day need someone to hand him the TV remote. (Men don't want to see what's ON television, they want to see WHAT ELSE is on!) 8. God knew that Adam would never buy a new fig leaf when his seat wore out and would therefore need Eve to get one for him. 7. God knew that Adam would never make a doctor's appointment for himself. 6. God knew that Adam would never remember which night was garbage night. 5. God knew that if the world was to be populated, men would never be able to handle childbearing. 4. As "Keeper of the Garden," Adam would never remember where he put his tools. 3. The scripture account of creation indicates Adam needed someone to blame his troubles on when God caught him hiding in the garden. 2. As the Bible says, "It is not good for man to be alone!" And the number one reason God created Eve... 1. When God finished the creation of Adam, He stepped back, scratched His head and said, "I can do better than that"

Well to be honest 12pm is fairly late for a grey, in general they need a good 10 hours sleep a night As you are going away you need to start a routine with him so he can feel happy in his cage,perhaps start with 15 minute increasing the time by 5 minutes each time until he is spending a good few hours in his cage.
