Kirsten Thank you for the list Karma to you.

Toni he is lovely, i just love them baby dark eyes how are you getting on ?

Are we debating the debate thread :laugh: :laugh: I too am not one for debating,i will of course like everyone express my views on topics but when debating comes into the equation i feel the fun & friendliness of this forum is lost amidst the debate :side: :silly: :blink:

Gotcha :laugh:

Ok beccy i will do a new topic at the weekend when i have the time orange seeds i avoid, but melon seeds they love

Good luck with your search Taro

:laugh: :ohmy: i wont be able to learn all them Tari, i hope no one starts posting like that :laugh: but a great topic.

Yes i can vouch for stainless steel , i dont have any problems with them & best of all they dont pose any danger to our greys

Hi Carol, as the others have asked, did you get your baby from a breeder ? no reputable breeder in the UK would sell an unweaned baby.I'm also sure this is not permitted & it's totally irresponsible behaviour on the breeders part. If you can give us some more information we will endeavour to help & advise you the best we can.

Hi, i dont have a gas fire but i know a conventional gas fire discharges its fumes through a flue, or up the chimney as they contain harmful carbon monoxide. If in doubt i would invest in carbon monoxide detector, which is similar to a smoke alarm. I know that the very new & modern flueless gas fires remove the carbon monoxide by using a catalytic converter. I'm sure other members will be able to share their experiences with you

i have 3 greys, so it can get loud ! but i would say they have specific times during the day when they are noisy, usually first thing in the morning,singing, whistling & occasionally shouting, calms during the day & they start again early evening.:laugh: But Greys are not excessively loud compared to some of the other breeds out there.

Joe really ! That's not good sportsmanship I voted

You wont be able to house them together even if they get along.Make sure you time is given equally to both birds otherwise you may encounter jealously. If you have them out together as dblhelix has said make sure they are supervised at all times.There are no guarantees they will get along or tolerate eachother, but i know of success stories when a second bird is introduced.Just take it slowly & dont expect to much.

Well done to you, the post was never intended to scare anyone just show the misuse of Teflon but i applaud you for changing your cookware.

Joe i'll have to find room i have 8 already :ohmy: :laugh:

Joe we try & encourage new members to post, some just lurk,some are shy, some just join ask a question & disappear never to be seen again :unsure: I am talking to a new member who has just joined via PM :)I feel honoured that he was comfortable to PM me & say hi, Im sure in time he will post

Yep my boys have the pinkish blush too I'm not convinced it's a form of blushing but it's cute

As with any grey there is never any guarantees they will learn to talk.Of course the majority do learn speech & the age varies greatly, some do talk very young but i would say they are the exception.Generally speaking many have spoke their first word before reaching the age of one. As for food here is a link that shows the range of food that are members feed. http://www.greyforums.net/forums/bird-food/24030-whats-your-greys-diet.html

I love that Joe,.........oh i can feel a new tattoo coming on

Tari has given you great advice to follow, with everything air on the side of caution when using cleaning products.I personally would not use such things as air freshners etc around him.If a product smells strong to you, then just imagine how strong it would be to your grey, if you are unsure then i would discard it.

Joe

Thanks judy Grape pips are fine but avoid olives they are excessive in oil & salt .

:laugh: Look forward to a picture then when you have made it up
