Bless they cause us all to worry, just like having kids for those of us who have them

You know your stuff Terri It sounds good to me.

Wow a truly wonderful looking red factor grey,all the best wishes for the weekend .

.A bird that is regurgitating will make head bobbing movements & you will see the neck stretch.food is brought up & deposited on to you this can be accompanied by the drooping of the wings & little whimpering noises. Normal behaviour

Hi Misti & , i look forward to haering all about Irwin

i have often come across them Ronda but have never got them,best to take advice from Joe and any one else who has purchased them

Hannah dont fret I rarely see mine drink a few times a day if i;m lucky, she will drink if she is thirsty.

Good advice BMustee, Karma to you.

Bailey thanks for the great up date & the best of luck for the vet's visit

Kaeurl sometimes they are just stubborn ! they know we are asking for step up & point blank refuse ! It's something that must be incorporated in to every day inter action with your grey.

volux please keep us informed on the progress of your grey it will be very inresting to follow the journey of an older bird.

Acappella out of choice i do not feed any nuts in the shells to my greys, i know this takes away a little of the fun for our greys of having a nut in a shell but i personally dont wish to take the chance.I only feed human grade nuts. Can you found out what quality of nuts are in the Fiesta mix ? Your instinct has already told you to shell the bad looking ones, i personally would only feed nuts you purchase for humans. Here are two links on previous topics regarding nuts.I hope they will be of some value to you. http://www.greyforums.net/forums/bird-food/23193-peanuts-in-the-shell.html#35346 http://www.greyforums.net/forums/bird-food/25600-the-peanut-debate.html#29494

Thanks for sharing, lovely looking grey

Shaun just keep offering her a variation of fruit, she will at some point have a taste.

Hi Shaun sounds very normal baby vocalization

Sounds very normal baby vocalization, they make all kinds of wonderful gurggles etc..

Tracey you must not feel guilty, if by you spreading Choles story can help save even one grey's precious life then Chole would not have died in vain.

Tracey i love the explanation behind Poppy & Charlie's names Gosh 3 years, it will always feel like yesterday to you . Chole will always have a special place in your hearts.

Hi volux & I would just talk to your grey there is no sure way of teaching him to talk & at 10 years old he may not talk,just enjoy him for who he is.If you have a look in the training room you will find many tips on how to train your grey.Patience is going to be the key word.

I have read Chole's story many times & it always brings a lump to my throat,Thank you for sharing your own personal story with us.I know Chole was truly loved by you & your husband.Hopefully others can learn from this tragic story.

Hi Noely here is a link that shows the different variety of diets our members feed their greys. http://www.greyforums.net/forums/bird-food/24030-whats-your-greys-diet.html If you have a read around the bird food room you will find a lot of information.

As usual superb information shanlung, thank you.

Laurie i but jars of organic baby food for my greys, sometimes they have it spread on wholemeal toast,sometimes ill pour it over their veggies or ill mix some in with their pasta,it's nice for them to have variation.
