I have just a quick question. I have been using a spray bottle to give Kenya a shower. When I do this he doesn't fly away or anything but will face the bottle with open beak and squak. My first impression was he was mad with it but I am wondering if he is just playing with it. As soon as I am done I can scratch his neck without a problem so I don't think he's mad at me at least for doing it. Although, if I am going to give him a neck scratch, I don't think he would care either what I just did to him, he would still put his head down and stretch out so I can get in a good neck scratch. Just wondering what everyone else thinks, does it sound like he enjoys it or not?

Congrats Raposa. Jenna will be very happy with you. Come join the baby group now B) .

Those were great Heather. Kenya also could hear it and was squaking away the whole time. Goldn1, I think they can tell from the clip it is another Grey.

Hi Smithie, wow, that's alot of questions I don't have any real answers for you so hopefully someone with more knowledge will be here soon. At what age will be bringing him home? If you are waitting until he is fully weaned then the answer would be the Breeder would be taking care of most of those problems for you, except the talking, that's up to you. :laugh:

This room will be a great idea. I think it should be for not just weaning Grey's but new Grey owners as well who have just received their Grey's as well as the Parront's are still in training . Would the rule of thumb be two years of age and younger?

I went to the Vet for Kenya's first check-up. There was no mention of an anesthetic at all. They did towel him as they also trimmed the nails and toke some feathers for sexing. They said he was a very healthy bird and no real problems (although he did bite the Vet very hard but she said she barely notices anymore because she deals with so many birds).

Congrats Lovelylew. You must be so proud.

Hi Lupa, Kenya is going for his first check-up with me on Saturday. So far the Vet has not even mentioned this at all. However, I'll let you know if my vet does/doesn't do this so you can know a couple of days before your appointment, k?

LOL Jane, that must have been a funny sight with Rangi. Yeah, the walnut kept him busy but didn't want to tease him too much with it either so last night I got it started for him. Lovelylew, thanks for the information on number of peanuts per day. I hadn't heard any number but want to leave it as a treat so the most I have been giving is 3 a day. I think we should start a "Baby Room" thread, now that Micha has just brought home her 2 month old Grey and Raponda (sp?) should be bringing her new Grey home soon (I think she was two months behind me) :laugh: .

LOL, there she is Cute picture. Congratz again!

I don't see the picture Micha, but congrats on bringing Tuca home B)

Looks like he is getting over his plucking, congrats.

WTG there Lovelylew. Now the problem will become how to keep him IN the cage:blink: . Last night I gave Kenya a walnut (he loves peanuts) and it is funny watching him try to open it. I think he knows there are goodies instead but it's a bit too difficult for him to break open, but he is trying (keeps him busy). I figure if he doesn't have it open by tonight (after work) I'll try to crack it for him. Lovelylew & Jane, have your babies said any words yet (did the breeder tell you if they were talking before)? Nothing from Kenya yet.

Voted, some really good pics on here.

Thanks everyone, hope you enjoyed them!
