lovemyGreys

Your welcome Matt.

Wow that is one funny bird, thanks for the link

Ash is on the safe list siobhan, just do a quick internet search to confirm it but im 99.99% sure

Yep she likes it,as judy says as she gets older introduce her to the shower, it's great when you have a grey thats likes to be showered

Siobhan do you have access to any apple or willow trees ? perhaps give him a natural branch as a perch & he can shred it at the same time !

You could try wrapping sisal rope around the perch, it will give him something else to pick but it will stop him chewing the wood.I put a piece of timber across the bird room for then to chew on, they ignore the wooden toys but love to shred wood in to matchsticks :pinch:

Well for their own personal safety it had to be done, it's better to be safe than sorry

Zinc & lead are the main ones to watch out for,stainless steel is the safest metal

Yes i agree Siobhan, eveything that has been posted we can relate to :laugh:

Matt you can train him to fly to you with time & patience, you need to put him on his stand & make sure he stays there, raise your arm & give him a command to fly to you, use the same command everytime so he recognises it.Reward him with a treat or plenty of praise everytime he flys to you.

Hi Digitalfeather & Welcome to the forum,we look forward to hearing more from you

even with parrot toys, you must check your greys toys on a daily bases for damage,loose parts etc... once a toy/baby toy has been damaged i would discard it

That's fine Jackie,thats what i use on my 4 greys & havent had any problems

Hi Joel welcome to the forum.We look forward to hearing more from you

Hi Jackie try Holland and Barrett the health shop if you have one i know they do it ,or any health shop ,if not you can get it online

Here is a thread regarding playing .... http://www.greyforums.net/forums/the-nursery/73105-teaching-your-baby-to-play.html

:evil: No your not jimmy :laugh:

nothing to worry about novato,around now they will begin to refuse less hand formula,follow your baby on how much formula he wants to take,be sure to offer a good variety of foods.Plenty of mixed veggies,fruits,pulses,moistened pellet/ a good quality seed mix etc..

:ohmy: poor Talon & you Penny,lets hope the antibiotics kick in soon & Talon will soon be back to good health.A stressful time for you both im sure,hang in there girl

you have some good looking bits there Jackie having four greys,i buy baby toys & make all of my own,it saves a fortune ! If you have a local timber yard,they will often sell you a bag of wooden off cuts for next to nothing,drill a few holes & away you go

Well now you have told us about your grey, we are going to need pictures

Wow Pat well done, just goes to show "you can teach an old dog new tricks " Patience & consistent work by yourself has paid off, a good lesson for anyone reading this.
