Hi i do clean my wooden perches in hot water & give them a good scrub.Let them dry before you put them back & i spray mine with F10 which is an avian disinfectant.
Same for wooden toy's a good hot scrub let them dry & there fine.
Hi Teko, & I'm sorry that your question you first posted has been caught up with all this nonsense on here.
I'm pleased you have found a method to stop Teko going for your ears,i'm pleased you have stopped the misting spray
Does Teko step up ? i mean step on to your hand when you ask him to ? I have three greys two step up on command & i can put them in their cage.My other grey is not to good at stepping up ! i usually save her favourite treat for when i want her to go back in her cage & this generally works.If you can get Teko on to your hand gently place your thumb over his foot, he will flap but you wont hurt him & gently place him in his cage & reward with a treat.
Lovebirds are great little birds but are usually better off in pairs.Another option may be a cockatiel, they are very handle able if you acquire one very young & have great personalties.
Hi Wendy~n~Joe it may be just a molt, my two boys are 10 months & they have a lot of downy feathers at the moment & they have a lot of red tail feathers missing to.Can you take him to the vet to see if there is a medical problem ? Does he get bathed regularly ?
please consider all your options before re homing him this may effect his behaviour & you sound as if you care for him deeply.I only wish i was nearer to help you out.
oh what a wonderful story & good for you for giving some time to Pattie so she can share a little love from you.Keep it up im sure she appreciates you.
Beccy your opinion is valued here it was just the way Adele so flippantly posted here with her sick humour.She never stated that it was a joke & as caring members are concerns were for the grey in question.She never apologized for her words which were in very bad taste & i for one feel everything that was said to her was justified.We don't need rubbish like that posted on our forum & the other forum she belongs to are welcome to her.
:laugh: Dan !
A great reply Dave, my female does this wing dropping, moaning etc, i get her to step up & place her on her playstand & walk away for a while as i always thought it was best not to encourage this behaviour,Am i right ti discourage this ?

Mine were bathed at my breeders, so the as soon as you bring your grey home.Many take to a bath or shower others dont,my three just like a heavy misting.
