Okay, so I'm home today. Just taking it easy outback. Watching Brody enjoy the sunny warm day. He loves it outside! Anyways, I've changed up his diet a little last week. I've been doing some research on Grey Diet. He not only gets Pretty Bird Natural Gold, I've added: Walnuts, Almonds, Peanuts in shall and only 2, Pistachios, Papaya, Banana chips, Coconut, and Cashews. He gets all this everyday. Is this okay? He also gets cooked foods, fresh fruit and veggies, and healthy human snacks. Sounds good?

WOW! Congrats! I hope I too one day will reach 10000. :woohoo: That is sure dedication. You are a very dedicated parront. WAY TO GO!!!!! Hugs, Lisa and Brody

How many times can you give red palm oil to your Grey? I mix it in Brody's food everyday and he loves it. Is that okay? What does the red palm oil do? Thanks! Lisa

Hey guys, I have a question about feather plucking. A lot of the Grey's that come in for boarding or grooming and they are between the ages of 2 to 20 years old, they are severely plucked. Why is that? Most of the people give them loving homes and lots of attention. I'm worried about this. I don't want Brody to pluck. He's not, but how can you prevent this? Lisa

These are birds that we sell. Alot of them are already sold or customer birdies.

Major Mitchell Cockatoo, Hawk Headed Parrot named Bobo, Ekkie named Eco, Female Ekkie named Bailey, and Bronze Wing Pionus named Arty. No none of these are my birds, just the Grey. The grey is Brody. I only have one bird for now. I'm getting a Rose Breated Cockatoo soon.

YAY! I did it this time! So lets see, Brody is my baby in the first 4 pics. The last pic of his he is with a baby budgie. Then we have baby Sennies, baby CATALINA Macaw, Blue and Gold Macaw, Sugar.

HEY GUYS! SORRY IT TOOK ME SOOOO LONG TO GET ON... LOL. Okay, let me try this again. They are some gret pics, huh? Anyways, lets see if I do this right...

Hey guys, Here are some pics of Brody at work. Brody comes to work with me 2 or 3 times a week. He was raised here, so he knows everyone and everything. He loves the other Grey's, and he loves to car rides. He jumps right in his carrier and "LETS GO!!!" Ha Ha :laugh: Enjoy the pics... Lisa<br><br>Post edited by: zeta, at: 2008/03/01 07:44

Ronda, I love the videos! And they were not boring. They were fun! Hugs. Lisa

Ronda, he is covered half way, and he sleeps in a tent. I think he just knows his way around in the dark, don't ya think. LOL. I can just hear him eating his pellets at 4 in the morning. I will try covering him all the way around. Maybe its because he's not getting enough sleep and he is grumpy? Poor baby. I will work very hard on him. I love this bird so much. After losing all my babies this little guy sure fits in well with me. I just worry too much. Thank You so much Ronda. You are an angel, you're awesome! Hugs, Lisa

Well the timeout came from a friend. She told me that she put all her birds in the bath tub when they bite her. That she would turn the light off, shut the door, and leave them for 5 min. I agree with you. I don't like the way that sounds. I remember when I had my Caiques, I tried to discipline them, and it didn't work. So, no no no would work just fine? Ok, I'm gonna get some sleep and try the cage time out tomorrow. I will get on and update you guys. I'll only give him timeout if he bites me. Like tonight he bit me on the cheek again. Not where it bleed, but it did hurt. He doesn't give gentle kisses anymore either. He doesn't bite hard, but it can still hurt and it does seem wrong. I will slow down on the toy spending and just use what I have. He seems to really like Planet Pleasures toys, http://theperchstore.net/pp41109.html Anyways, I will be back to ask more questions... I hope you guys don't mind. Lisa

Oh yea, do you think it could be sleep? Brody goes to bed late. He sleeps in my room and I can hear him in the dark going down to eat, and then go back in his cubbie and start preening himself. Also, could it be that I cut my hair? Maybe he doesnt like the new look? Lisa

Ok, sorry it took me so long to get back. I was too tired to get on. Ok, anyways, for the two cage thing. I live in a very large house, 5 bedrooms, and Brody's room is like a study or game room, so its an open floor plan. That's where his day cage is. His sleep cage is in my bedroom. He seems to like moving to one cage to another and I think he knows. I've seen him jump off his day cage and walk all the way to my room to go to sleep. The reason why I have two cages is because I have a very loud home. Television on, radio, music playing, video games, and a big family. Its peaceful in my room. I don't let him on my shoulder anymore. I was thinking, if timeout should be away from their cage, since they like their cage. Shouldn't it be a place they do not like? I don't really know... Ronda you've giving me so much information. Thank You. I still need help. I'm gonna try the cage thing, what about a carrier? Thanks guys and I will keep you all posted! Lisa and Brody
