I use baby wipes-I only buy the hypoallergenic ones (no fragrances, etc.) for sensitive skin and they do a great job cleaning the cages!

Hello-My name is Beth and I am from Mystic, CT. I own and CAG who I basically inherited from my Uncle who recently passed away. She is appx. 9 years old (so I am told) and I say she b/c she came to me with eggs in her cage already!!! I have only had her for a couple months and she also came to me with a completely plucked chest and, legs and top of wings. So far her feathers are coming back in slowly but surely...she is quite aggressive, but definitely has a sweet side and seems to be taking to my fiance. Her name is Lila and we love her to death!!! We give her several different fruits and vegetables daily, clean her cage daily, change water daily and refill her food dishes as needed. I give her Zupreem pellets, Kaytee Exact Pellets, Kaytee Fusion and Kaytee Fiesta. She seems to pick at everything and does well with pellets. One thing she DOES NOT do well with is new toys of any sort. It seems like everytime I offer her something new, she is terrified of it and if it is a hand toy, she starts her egg laying behavior for days on end even after I take it away. For the past couple days she has not been very talkative, has been sitting on the bottom of the cage, but is eating and pooping normally, just doesn't seem very talkative unless I start talking to her and then she perks up. I'm just looking for a little advice since everyone here seems very knowledgable about greys and although I have owned a macaw in the past and now have a cockatiel, greys are very different!!! Nice to meet you all! {Feel-good-00020114}[/color]
