Yes there is something called slip claw,Slip claw is when the rear toe is pointing forward along with the other three toes & is usually discovered when youngsters leave the nest for the first time & is something that has occurred during the development of the chick,so your grey never jumped on the perch !!I advise a vet's visit ASAP To help your bird, the vet will probably use a thin strip of sticky tape to secure the toe to the leg, The bird will need this for a couple of weeks.

Hi Amber & Welcome, Im sorry to hear Tuki isnt as friendly as she was,the majority of animals will bite if you go poking fingers in their cages !Perhaps you will have to go back to the basics with her,Does she step up for you,how does she interact with you as a family ? Has there been any big changes in her life/routine that may have caused her to act this way ? I'm sure with time you can win her back round

Yep not much in life is free, may as well take advantage of whats being offered

Yep the morning one is always a biggy :sick: I would try to remove your grey so he can poop, perhaps a stand or somewhere,many greys dont like to poo in their cages.

I'm with BMustee they need to get wet !! Here is a previous thread on greys not wanting to bath... http://www.greyforums.net/forums/training/19874-dont-wanna-bath.html if you have a read fron the forum there are other threads on bathing

No Are there things in your life you would like to go back & change ?

No dont celebate easter Judy here in the shops they sell easter eggs, chocolate, candy etc.. people swap eggs & the kids eat too much choccy :sick: Are you religous ?

Just a word of caution make sure your grey is unable to catch her claws in the fabric you used, i have heard some sad tales of birds catching their toes.

:laugh: Way to go Cleo

Siobhnan you meant to ask a question for the next person will you eaaster eggs ?

No continue to give fruit & veg, many members feed Harrisons but continue feeding these in addition

stainless steel chain not anything with Zinc or you can use sisal rope.

heather how about a shape sorter,like little kids use to put the different shapes in the correct hole.I get loads of ideas from looking through the baby selections of toys at the store,Easy puzzles a few pieces of course !!Did you have a nut puzzle,usually made from acrylic, you can pit a treat or nut inside & harrison will have to figure out how to retrieve the treat

:laugh: Dave i think your fit in just fine here with GOSH Poor Teresa

:laugh: Well were pleased you found us Dave LOL Welcome to the forum,look forward to hearing more from you

Birds are supposed to preen a lot. They spend most of their day preening their feathers. Their feathers are very important to them and they have to keep them in tip top shape 24/7. If the bird didn't preen himself, then you should worry.

i found this link which has an index guide to Avian disease..Health related issues.. Well worth a look when you have the time http://www.avianweb.com/diseases.htm
