Glad you had a good day hun Soak them feet in a bucket

I tend to agree Judy, the majority of greys including mine like their veg steamed or slightly cooked,i also sometimes mash them up a bit for them just like baby food & serve warm.I find with raw food they tend just to chew it to pieces as opposed to easting it :unsure:

Great pictures, thaks for sharing with us.

Thanks for that Lisa, it would be great to share your experience with this site & of course what your birds opinions are A tip for the palm nuts, i defrost mine in a cup of hot boiled water,once the water has gone cold, approx an hour i give them a pinch with my fingers which opens them up a little.If your birds find the whole nut a bit much at first, peel strips of for them It's the pulp they eat.

oh Dan I'm sorry you are unable to get hold of them, i know for sure Dayo would love them,i have never known a grey yet who doesn't.

Thanks Reta & Judy for the info, mine have organic jars of baby food, generally the vegtable ones & fruit puree

Thanks for sharing Jimmy, love the macaws my big ambition to own one, hopefully a rescue one day .

Here is the post dblhelix was referring to, http://www.greyforums.net/forums/african-grey/45455-my-parrot-died.html#45623

Well they say the way to a mans heart is through his stomach !I think I've won Soldier's heart with a palm nut :laugh:

Thanks Judy Yes Freddie is one tomorrow, hes the mischievous one of the gang. Happy 1st hatch day x

Thanks Dan, i do believe there is love in the air Coco seems to be smitten ! Yes will do believe he was imported , but at what age we dont know My aim in the long run is to have a content grey who wants to live with the other three as part of a flock.

i have no experience of the Timneh grey but to be honest apart from size & color they are just as wonderful birds at the congo.They have the ability to mimic & like any bird will have their own individual personaity.I think it is down to personal preference & what one you prefer.I would love to have a Timneh

:pinch: fogot to look when i did the shopping ! :pinch: Next time i will remember

The head bobbing is quite normal,Usually A bird that is regurgitating will make head bobbing movements & you will see the neck stretch.food is brought up & deposited on to you. here is a previous topic on blushing. http://www.greyforums.net/forums/african-grey/32734-greys-eye-coloring.html#32871<br><br>Post edited by: lovemyGreys, at: 2008/01/06 13:01

Lisa a lot of greys love to have a warm night time feed As long as he eats everything else throughout the day thats fine.My greys still have a few spoonfulls of baby food at night & there a year old.

Thanks all for letting me share my love with you guys & thanks for your comments

Hi Laurie,glad you had a five minutes to pop on,you take care, i know from experience it takes time to deal with events like this & yes getting back to normal is hard.

Hi Lisa thank you for the link.We has a previous topic on sprouting if anyone would like to have a look ! http://www.greyforums.net/forums/bird-food/28994-do-you-sprout-.html#30491 I also have a bird cookbook, has some easy recipes to follow

Thanks for the up date, we love hearing about sweetheart & your not lame, that's why we are all here to share our greys Isn't it just great when they start to make loads of noises !

HoboHiltons i know most greys love pomegranates ! & yes they sure can make a big mess with them !imagine my four :laugh:

Well i moved soldier's cage nearer to the birdroom as he seemed to be really intrested in the other 3 greys. He kept climbing on the door so i a put a perch up for him, he sat chatting to Coco Alfie & freddie ignored him as you will see in the picture, they were more concerned with wreckinh the place !! He seemed real happy sitting on one leg with Coco making gooey eyes at him :laugh: not a great picture, i have dropped my camera & its gone funny

Here is a good link on food for greys, maybe have a look & perhaps print it out. http://www.itsagreysworld.com/diet/food.htm
