Thanks for the advice! I will go back to 4 a day for a little while and see if he does better. I don't mind handfeeding him longer if necessary, just wanted to make sure i'm doing the right thing. Echo will sure be happy Thanks! -Carissa

Hi, yes, I am certainly still handfeeding! I will try and get some pictures up soon... Thanks for the warm welcomes

Thanks, I checked it out. Lots of good info! It seems I am on track with amount and frequency of feedings..so I guess he is just demanding?

Hi all! I have a 7 week old congo I brought home about 2 weeks ago. Hand feeding is going well, and I have been feeding him 3 times a day as told by the breeder. Usually he ends up getting between 30-40 cc's, but I check to make sure crop is properly filled. He always seems hungry though and vocalizes alot! Even right after he has eaten, he acts like he always wants more. Is this normal behavior? Am I not feeding enough? I am new to all this so want to make sure I am doign everything right! Otherwise he seems healthy and is growing well. Thanks!

Hi there, I just brought home my first african grey a couple weeks ago. He is about 7 weeks old, a congo and we've named him Echo (well, assuming it's a him!) Glad to have found this forum as I am trying to learn as much as I can! I have alot of experience raising goats, horses, cats, dogs, chickens, etc...but this is a first! Looking forward to hearing everyones experiences and advice! -Carissa in Fl
