lovemyGreys

As grey owners im sure we can all relate to how your feeling at the moment Im so pleased that Jenna has gained your trust, it is a wonderful feeling, one of my re-homes came to me & i was unable to handle her, nearly a year on every member of my family handles her & she is a little sweetheart My your relationship continue to blossom with her

Wastrox Only you can decide to clip your grey & yes there is certain clips that still allow some flight.Make sure you find a qualfied avian vet who knows the various clips available I have included a link for you to have a read through... http://www.greyforums.net/forums/african-grey/25408-the-african-grey-to-clip-or-not-to-clip.html

Shanlung & Raz thank you both very much for your input on the recall & free flight training.I must admit with four greys it's something i have never considered doing as the potential danger of loosing one of my greys scares the hell out of me.It is something one should fully research & seriously consider before undertaking.

Hi Wastrox & welcome to the forum, we look forward to hearing more from you.Keep up the good work with the step up, it's one of the best commands you can teach your grey

you really need to approach your aunt & tell her this is not acceptable ,laughing at the biting is only reinforcing bad behaviour ,long term this may affect Ozzy's behaviour,any from of biting should be discouraged.A quiet word in her ear

Hi Andy if you contact DEFRA here in the UK they will give you the advice you need.. http://www.defra.gov.uk/animalh/index.htm

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

That's wonderful Pat & very encouraging, she is gaining your trust.A great achievment.I would be smiling too

Chewing & shredding has to be one of the favourite pastimes for most parrot species right down to my budgies sounds as if he does think it's an egg Pat bless him

Don't you just love em??? Yep we sure do Christo, with all their faults & failures & funny ways, we carry on loving them unconditonally tomorrow is another day

hi Joselyn & welcome to the forum

done !

:ohmy: Sorry Mark, i know tattoos are personal,i have them myself but i don't think the pictures are appropriate for a family forum.

Thanks for the post Sameera, i just had a brief look on the website,sounds an amazing place.Did you manage to take any pictures while you was there ?

Thanks for the update Penny,im pleased to hear how clever Talon is accepting her meds like a good girl hopefully it wont be for much longer.

Hi Mary, here is a previous thread which may be of some intrest to you .... http://www.greyforums.net/forums/bird-food/59687-pellet-ingredients.html

As the other's have said Biggles will be fine,if your parents are comfortable with him you wont have any worries

It often takes them a while to accept new things, & six days isnt to bad.Im please he is now enjoying his stand.You wont be able to get him of it now

Split rings as i said can be fitted by anyone at any age, they are also put on after a grey has been sexed by some breeders.PM the numbers if you dont want to post them on the forum, ill see if i can come up with anything for you.

:laugh: Well get yourself organised & you wont be sitting around all day trying to meet the deadlines

You just stick at it siobhan, YES it is worth it & i admire you for doing so

Im a little lost here, you have a cage for nike ? or have you purchased the one you posted ? I think greys should have as much out of cage time with the interaction of the family as possible, but equally your grey should feel happy & content in his cage, many greys like the security of their cages & they should be caged at night & when no-one is home.

Does your grey have a closed ring or split ring ? A closed ring is fitted when thr grey is very young & a closed ring can be fitted at any given time, you will see if it's a closed ring as it would have been closed tightly with pliers.As you are in the UK it should have the breeders initals & the year of hatch.It may have PSUK on it as well
