Dont worry to much Steve,they soon learn how to find their bearings,make sure Alfie has a few possible landing spots.He may have a few crash landings but you will be surprised how quickly they become skillful with their flight .My B&G macaw had 2 bad landings & that was it,she looked like an expert from day one

Jim's a normal grey & Rosie definately has some cinnamon, she looks a lot lighter than Jim,it will be interesting to see the babies markings

How old is your grey Christian ? How many feeds is he on a day ?

What are Rosie & Jim ? Normal greys ?

Perhaps change to spoon feeding it dosent carry the same risks of tube feeding & in my opinion is a much kinder method to feed a baby

Janfromboone Thank you for the feedback,it's nice to hear what our members think.I'm biased but it's one of the best grey froums on the net

I Think he may be just a cinnamon Siobhan, doesn't have the classic pearl appearance This is a good link for mutations & cross mutations .. http://www.cockatiel.org/mutations/index.html

If fed in moderation meat is fine,i wouldnt suggest feeding your grey meat on a daily / weekly basis,just as an occasional treat.Remember a little bit goes a long way on the portion side,one small piece of meat is more than sufficient for a grey.Many of our members here do feed their greys a chicken leg with little meat on it,they love to gnaw on the bone & will often eat the marrow which is good for them.Always supervise your bird when it has a bone

Hi Nesha & Welcome. We look forward to hearing more from you & all about CJ

They dont,here is an article i did a while back,worth a look .... http://www.greyforums.net/understanding-your-grey/a--guide-to-a-birds-internal-anatomy..html

Great update Lyn,im pleased you was able to get to the bottom of the chewing

Yes that is very young for a grey to be mimicing

One of my greys,Alfie is a big boy much larger than his brother Freddie,but both parents were big greys. He is my gentle giant wouldnt have him any other way

"So the book says he should do it when you say turn around " Well did the book say run before you can walk Give him time & teach one thing at a time as not to bombard him with commands.Teaching him from an early age is fine,just take it slowly so he fully understands what is asked of him.

My boys are partial to a bit of Dolly Parton Coco loves the Mc Donalds theme,insists on whistling it constantly :laugh: :pinch:

Sorry to hear that Christian. Here are a few threads that are worth a read if you are not experienced in hand feeding..... http://www.greyforums.net/forums/the-nursery/73409-handfeeding-a-baby-grey.html http://www.greyforums.net/forums/the-nursery/73842-associated-risks-of-hand-feeding.html

Here is a list of UK breeders,there are two pages, i had a quick glance & there is a few TAG breeders on there . http://www.parrotpassionsuk.com/UKbreeders/UKbreeders.htm

Hi Kevin & Welcome to the forum.We look forward to following your story if you decide to give this grey a new home

{Emotions-0002007D} Ok CNN can take the blame this time

Hi milks & Welcome to the forum "The book I have says that a hand raised bird will associate entirely with humans and not birds. It says that while a parent raised bird will be timid to start with it is less likely to develop behavioural problems later in life if" Sorry but i totally disagree.Any bird,hand or parent reared can develop behavioural problems. "The hand raised grey would be more accustomed to humans" This is what the majority of grey owners want,but equally many of us keep more than one grey,They can maintain their human relationship alongside having another bird as a companion.

Hi & Welcome to the forum. We look forward to hearing more from you

Great pictures,Thanks for sharing. I shall refrain from commenting on the mess the breeder allows these babies to get into

Here is an on going thread on members birds & their weight....Roscoe can lose up to 10 % of his weight once he fledges,so dont be too surprised http://www.greyforums.net/forums/bird-food/10208-how-much-does-your-grey-weigh.html#89182

{Feel-good-0002006E} Dan how on earth are we to believe another word you say ? :pinch:
