yes but always follow these rules,keep birds out
of the kitchen, never leave cookware unattended, never allow pots & pans to overheat and make sure that your kitchen is properly ventilated at all times.
Judy has given you some good advice.
As far as food if your baby has been weaned correctly by a good breeder then he/she should be eating a healthy varied diet when you bring him/her home.A good quality seed mix with/ or a pelleted diet,including a variation of veggies & fruit.
Im pretty sure a microchip with GPS is not yet available, but double check with your vet.
From around 10 weeks onwards a baby grey will begin to test out their wings.The first flights themselves often are clumsy and sometimes result in some sort of “crash†landing. within a few weeks they learn great skills at landing,turning around in mid-air etc..I'm a firm believer that all baby greys should be given the opportunity to learn to fly & acquire that skill for their own well being & health before clipping is considered.
Yes he is, but why not try & introduce some veggies into his diet,add a little variety,perhaps some pasta etc.. just for a change for Harry.Take some ideas from this thread & the variety of foods our members feed.
Acappella You are doing a great job there even if you dont feel you are getting anywhere,2 steps forward, 1 step back Hang in there.The others have given good advice.
Congrats Di, love the name,Monty is going to be one very much loved & wanted grey when you bring him home.Great you can visit him,that will help you both to start forming a relationship.please keep us updated on monty's progress.
Thanks Terri,im very fortunate that i dont work ( just send hubby instead )My grey situation is different from most members, as they all live together in their own room,Millie lives in the living room & i can share myself out & Millie comes in the birdroom with me
Thank you
May i just add that i have recommended a very good breeder on numerous occasions, in good faith, after being messed around more than once i shall not personally offer any more recommendations.Im sorry to the genuine UK members who are looking for breeders .
