Here is a previous thread i did on Calcium http://www.greyforums.net/forums/bird-food/28614-calcium-for-greys.html#33178

They dont need any supplements to digest their food.I do give my greys cuttlebone as a treat they just love to grind it up & make a mess.Some owners do give calcium supplements in the form of a water soluable solution,here is an intresting link on Calcium & greys . http://www.greyforums.net/forums/bird-food/68248-cuttlebone.html#68248

:laugh: there so funny, poopping & bad table manners spring to mind.

:laugh: bless him BMustee, Yes lucy did ask for suggestions for nameing her bird but you need to give us some more input Lucy as Sandra suggests,Observe your grey & see what really suits his peronality

Hi Steve & welcome to the forum,George sounds a sweetie, i hope his health improves.look forward to hearing more from you.

jdr you say a car alarm noise,the reason i ask is i also have a coco & she did a noise similiar to the beep beep,like when the batteries are low in your smoke alarm,after a while she stopped & the speech came & now you have a job to shut her up,i then got kaiti she is making the exact same noise as Coco did even tho coco has never done in front of her :unsure:

Yes it is Yvette Good luck with the new additions

Good tip Judy, i wish mine enjoyed it so much they prefer the palm nuts

I dont think your being paranoid at all. here is a link for you http://www.greyforums.net/forums/offtopic-discussions/26703-quarantine.html#26735

Nice pictures but im not a reptile person :unsure: love the greys pics

It does sound as if they are showing mating behaviour as BMustee has said Secure perches will be needed for mating.African Grey males mount the female to mate,The birds will mate often, and for several weeks, running up to the time when she will lay. Before mating the male will feed the hen and display to her, he holds his wings out and jumps about on the perch in a sort of dance. The male will then spend many days in the nest box checking it out, before the female goes in to lay.

:laugh: I love them pictures of Kip Mark, thanks for posting

Hi William & welcome,look forward to hearing more from you

hi Lisa, The recommended daily amount should be no more than 1/2 a teaspoon.Personally i feed it every other day.The palm oil has a high anti oxident value & is an excellant source of beta carotenes which is converted in to vitamin A.It can improve feather condition,allowing new feather to grow in strong & glossy,it also has been suggested that it aids some greys to decrease the need to pluck.It aids in breeding, and generally promotes overall good health.
