bandits_mom08 nice idea, I am looking for cheap creative and simple ideas as parrots toys, they are way expensive in the market, lets start a company and sell them home made parrot toys ..... :laugh: :laugh:

Dave, I know what you mean now, but I don't rub him on that area, no no no no ... not even close to the under area where you described!! that area is obvious one should not come close to it even, but thanks for the alert anyways ...

Guys thanks for all your posts. Judy, you are right ... I had a nice weekend after my concern about Max last night .. he is fine with much noise and palyfull... you all are right and the vet too .. MAX is normal. dave007, can I know why not to touch max everywhere? when I touch his body, wings, leg, beak head .. and he allows I be sure that he still likes me and we are doing fine ,, can you explain the point you are referring to, i believe you are poiting to an important point which i donno? Sevi, he moves his throatstwice may be as i mentioned before ... he vomit near his water dish not above, and the water in water dish was still clear ... what I refer to as Vomit is a clear liquid (like the human spit) like when a human baby eat sweets (gum or toffy ) and drop the liquit out ... di u get what I mean ... that is what max drops three times continuasoly ... which makes me have that concern .. and I stil love to hear more explanation from someone experienced this before. but guess what, my wife and I have three kids and she is experienced in kids behaviour ... she told me when you play with a baby and he moves alot after or while eating/drinking its likely to happen that kids vomit even little ... that should apply to parrots in a way or other (just thoughts ... it may make sence to me) ... best regards, to all, Ahmad

no but while he was playing before he vomit, he was shakes his head front and back (not right & left) couple of times .... I ask thevet he says as long he is talking and actively playing nothing to worry about what do you think guys

we were away from home for almost 5 hours .... then we return and Max was playing with me and I am touching him everywhere over his body, he was making funny sounds while playing with me with his beak (sounds like human infant start making its first months sounds) its usual sometimes Max makes those sounds and he is active and fine. he went to drink water (it is clean) then he vomit liquid from his beak ones or twice only right after drinking water. then came again to play with me ... I removed his food bowel and left the room to test if he start whistling and calling for attention .... he is talking normal and making normal noise to get me back to the room ..... is he okay ... please advise?

Thank you Dan for this important article, here in Dubai it is very Humid in Summer and the winter is couple of months only and the humidity level goes down but not very badly may be coz we are right on the sea ... but it is always good to know others' experience and share the knowledge.

Guys its been long time since last communicated ... I have a lot to tell you guys about my CAG Max. thought of sharing this video with you all!! I like the video .... however, parrots are much more intelligent than Dogs i assume !!!!! enjoy the video (visit the below link) http://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qfbhm26Dftc <br><br>Post edited by: AAA, at: 2009/02/16 13:25

Belated Mabrook! Mabrook in Arabic Language means Congratulations! You deserve it. Although I joined the forum shortly but you was very helpful to me and your threads all over the site was informative and helpful. I wish you happy 10000 posts and see you again on your next 10000 posts :laugh: Ahmad

:blink: :blink: :blink: :blink: We start calling him Silver and we are we are now calling him Max. what do you think, which one sounds good to the baby CAG. :sick: :sick: :sick: [ I hate picking up names I always delay it .... even with my kids ] regrads, Ahmad

Thank you all, I don't have to change his name, I have a new baby with no name so far. we are still choosing names for him.

Judygram About the wings, does he hold them like that all the time? You are right they usually have them tucked in tighter to the body than what it shows in the photo. Maybe some of the other members will have more insight into that and will share their opinions Judigram: no he doesn’t do it all the time, he just do it very frequently. I guess it is alright Dan, I will check the veggies and the other food meal that I should prepare my self for the next period. I will be constantly looking through the threads over here. Yes he is drinking water on his own and eats little amount of seeds from time to time. I got him some kids toys and he is enjoying. Tracy, Try & get him a cement perch or a sandy perch: where can I find these things? Do I have to make it my self ? Teluhlasmom & MommaFawkes . Thanks for the response. Question for All: its clown is hurting me, when he tries to stand on my fingers or my hand too. Its painful! :woohoo: :lol: By the way, do birds have Pampers “Diapers”( ha ha ha ha ) he just poops everywhere :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: I will read through the threads I remember reading this subject before!

the Cage<br><br>Post edited by: AAA, at: 2008/02/25 13:27

The Cage, sorry I don't know how to attach two or many photos <br><br>Post edited by: AAA, at: 2008/02/25 13:29

Finally, I got my AG baby last evening, and we went shopping his food, syringe and the CAGE! 1. Can you guess the age from the photos? 2. Food: as per the breeder’s suggestions that to give the bird 10ml X 4 times per meal Two times a day. I made the first feeding yesterday at 11:30pm. (It was fun – the bird was happy to see the syringe and had the 40 ml at one time slowly given. Today before going to work at 06:30am I feed him his morning meal same way but I guess he wasn’t that hungry though! When shall I stop? (I will feed him again at 06:30pm) is this okay? 3. Cage: what do you think of the cage, I guess he liked it :silly: he was stretching his legs and wings all the time. It is 20” width 20” depths. 4. Flying: we start with fun action after the meal by playing around with him for some time, You are right DAN he was doing some short flights and he is not bad in that but the breeder told me that he will fly and come back to me (haven’t tried that yet) The breeder told me, don’t clip his wings and let him fly his wings even when holding his fingers, I guess I will delay wings clipping and do not perform many fling exercise for now (any recommendations). 5. Stretching legs & wings a lot is this OK, is he happy with the new cage or what? Is it a normal thing? 6. The Wings: please note the photo? Is his wings like this ok, I noticed that it is open like in the photo, I noticed that other birds photos the wings are usually adjacent to the body !! I donno, maybe am wrong, however, when he do this … what does he mean, I guess it is a popular thing and you guys will definitely know!! :) 7. BTW most of the times he wants to come to me and he will not escape from me, I like that, no biting as well. He is friendly I guess. 8. When I open the door to feed him in the morning, he jumped straight to go out, I didn’t let him (it’s time for food baby & am going to work - Fun is later) ….. Breeder said that he is used to this habit and do it always. Guys, you are great caring individuals, it is a wonderful tool is this website that really gather all of us here.

thanks a lot for your responses, yes you all are right I agree the CAG is way more than 7 weeks. I will confirm this with the breeder today. Tracy thanks for the links, it is informative and will help me a lot. Ronda, yes I agree, everyone has circumstances and it depends on my flat situation, however I may be moving to a new house - a bigger one and will see how I can manage this clipping issue, a Question (how long will feathers grow again? I may clip it at this time and then when the bird get used to the place and to us I will not clip it again! what do you think? the cage, I am still working on this option. Thanks for the suggestions. DAN, what a nice photos, I love them. the below pictures and what Tracy sent and I looked at the Photo album and browse photos for different ages, I guess the bird is minimum 12 :P better for me ;) will send photos of the balcony, before doing anything B) will stay in touch, I will always need your help, pls support at this period, I want everything to go in the right way with my CAG adoption :unsure: :unsure: :kiss: :kiss: :kiss:

he is using the syringe!

photoooooooooooooooos Post edited by: AAA, at: 2008/02/22 22:49 Hi All, I just met a new breeder, I saw the bird that was kept for him personally and lately the bird's mother laid more eggs and he decided to sell the 7 weeks old male CAG. Which hatched on 28/29 DECEMBER -07 (as he remembers). I attach some photos for you to see the bird is not biting, it is hand fed (with a special parrots food - like the kids Cerrilac)its even friendly, it can step up on my hand and sound like start talking unknown words and sounds. I want your suggestion on the food which I should give the bird.? he said that it is a Cameron African Grey, which is different than the Congo. (as far as I read about the AGs ... its all the same) the wings are not clipped (he normally do not clip birds wings) my main concern is I don't want the bird to fly in the room and hit the wall and fall on objects in my house which may lead to any injury. Please advice? I read the threads and it is not encouraged with most AG owners, if so! Then how to manage this important issue! until when this bird should be given food by a syringe? how many times a day ... (the breeder says one time morning and one in the evening is fine) I want to know the gap in between? Any recommendations? when shall I start weaning and is it an easy task? I feel the faster the better? any vaccination needs to be given, any medicine recommended at this age shall be give to new babies and for how long? [i believe baby birds like human babies!] what do you say? CAGE: (don't be mad at me :ohmy: :ohmy: :ohmy: ) I have a balcony with a big glass door and not being used at all coz it is a small one can't be used for any thing for almost 4 years now" I want to close the outer side on the street and make it a cage for the new baby [17" depth 89" height more than 118" width] what do you think!!! Waiting to hear from you.<br><br>Post edited by: AAA, at: 2008/02/22 22:50

Interesting Stuff … :lol: a. The bird I saw earlier was sold for someone else (it was displayed in one of the shops) Good luck to the new owner! B) b. In four days, they will try to get me a nice bird as they claim! (less than a year old) Lets wait …… this time am not in a hurry … I will wait to find the right companion. c. I saw a bird dyeing (almost same age of the one I had) in stages in almost 40 minutes from another shop’s window. At first it was fine and playing around, but I was in the bird market (many shops) looking at other birds and noticed that they put a lamp in his cage and was interested to discover why they do this (I guess it is to make the cage warm). Then it was slowly getting sick and was like a drunken person moving its head up and down. The shop was closed and I was in other shop when the shop man arrived and got rid of the bird. After couple of minutes I came and asked him where the bird that was in this cage … he says it was sick and just died. Here is the most important part. :evil: :evil: :evil: The breeder is the same (where I bought my x- bird – he owns couple of shops in this market). This incident made me asking and making my own investigation. The shop man says that it was small that’s why it died! I told him you must have given it medicine, you just lost 1000$ Guys, my x-bird has the same age, and from the same breeder …. If mine died coz of lack of experience from my side, then how come the one was in the shop died too... when it has all the experts around it all the time? and the cage was warm ….. ! What do you think ………….. ! (Wanted to share my findings with you guys – thought it might be helpful) I noticed on this form that the more you share with people and go into details the more everyone benefits. However, I am now more convinced to buy an aged CAG but from a good owner who behave with the bird ….. he he he![/b][/b]

thanks Dan / MommaFawkes / Lisa and Ladybug01976 I will go today and interact directly with the two Y CAG and see how it goes. Momma Fawkes, I will have a look at Fawkes on you tube rgds Ahmad

thanks judygram, mike & Tracy ... I have been reading the threads at the Greays Forum for almost three hours and can't stop ... very informative ......... BIG LOVE to everyone help the others and exchange information I will keep you posted

Hello, I have a question for you. as mentioned earlier . am planning to get my new grey and want some advise from you guys. I paid for the one I lost (died) approximately 950 USD. I can buy one for the same price (6-8 months old) I just saw one for 1100 USD, it is two years old. it talks and plays and the guy offered to refund my money if it didn't talk at home, since I just met him in an open day event and there was so many kids and the bird wasn't welling to talk. what do you think, is it advisable to go for two years old grey, is it too old ... can it learn more than what she/he knows until now .... what do you think. what makes me even look at it as an option is coz it is an old one and should be stronger than the small ones and is more independent. can you please give me your opinion. thanks Ahmad
