In the wild Greys would spend Two thirds of their day foraging for food. The parrot in captivity has his food served to him in bowls ! So getting your grey to forage will stimulate him mentally Here are just a few ideas .... Hide food in toys and offer more puzzle type toys Put an almond or nut in a small paper cup and let the parrot retrieve it by tearing up the cup. Twist some pellets in corn husks and place between the bars of the cage. Buy some foraging type toys that tempt the parrot to unscrew or open the toy to get to the food - wooden or cardboard tubes stuffed with food and/or seeds. Hide some nuts in a bowl of wooden beads or small wooden chunks. The parrot will rummage through the wood and find the nut. You might want to let the parrot see you hide the nut the first couple of times. Place food on the sides of the cage bars; e.g., carrots with the tops on are good. Not only can they tear up and munch on the carrot but the tops can also be torn up and possibly ingested. Skewers are also good. Use your imagination. Think of other ways to make forage and play fun. And remember, our companion parrots may have a more difficult time taking their own initiative so keep trying - they may need to be encouraged to try again and again until they get it

Hi Sameera,sorry to hear of your latest bad luck,you sure are having a bad time of late.You have done everything right Keep an eye on the cut on the keel just in case it splits open.Zahzu sounds no worse for her adventure,she is one tough liitle cookie

Please keep us updated then Dan,it will be interesting to follow this one

Great picture Carolyn,perhaps if he wont have his own plate then ensure his has a separate fork to eat from ,sharing ours carries the risk of passing on germs from our mouths/saliva

Thanks Suzzique for sharing Alex's Yummy Mash with us,definitely sounds good yummy enough to eat Carolyn Said " His ice cube trays are a different color so hubbie doesn't end up with mash in his rum LOL" Now that's a funny image,mash floating around in Hubbys rum :laugh:

Hi,i have a link here which offers advice on bringing your baby home,ideally i would say leave your baby out,walk around your home talking to her/him & let him he become familiar with the new surroundings,you can still follow the advice but you will have to judge how tired you baby is after such a long trip,perhaps in your case,some cuddles & reassurance then some rest in his cage.Good luck.. http://www.greyforums.net/forums/the-nursery/72855-bringing-home-your-baby-grey.html

A lovely stroy Mike of an older grey who still enjoys her scratches & a cuddle She obviously trusts you to allow you to cradle her,sounds a very content lady you have there .Drooping of the wings & whimpering noises is definite one sign,also any type of nesting behaviour would indicate she is feeling hormonal.some greys will get moody, randomly aggressive, and just seems like they want nothing to do with you.You are doing the right by ignoring the behaviour.
