All babies are different,a big factor is how well your baby was handled & socialized in his first few weeks of life,i believe this plays a big part in their confidence,but take it slow,have patience & you will develop a great relationship with charlie.

Hi Tonyg8s & Welcome to the forum. It's very early days for you both,charlie needs time to gain your trust,only stroke him when he lowers his head for a scratch,dont force touching on to him..I have included a few links for you to have a read through http://www.greyforums.net/forums/the-nursery/72855-bringing-home-your-baby-grey.html http://www.greyforums.net/forums/the-nursery/73094-socializing-your-baby-grey.html http://www.greyforums.net/forums/the-nursery/73105-teaching-your-baby-to-play.html

It's best to air on the side of caution with any zinc products,a bird only needs to ingest a little to become ill,here is a link for another article that makes for a good read. http://www.birdsnways.com/wisdom/ww14eiii.htm#iii

What do you see ?

I'm sure you have nothing to worry about,how old is your grey ? is the crop emptying by the morning ? A crop can stretch to accommodate the amount of food your grey eats,but as they get older it wont be stretched as much as when their being handfed.

Good idea tarnoid,introducing a water bottle ensures Hershey has fresh water when your not around

Steam the greens for 2 to 3 minutes. or boil for around 5 minutes.Just experiment all greys are different,some like raw veggies while others liked them slighty cooked,& yes spot on with the potato,never feed raw
