I think its so cool that she went to Bolivia! I wold love to see parrots flying around enjoying themselves. Listening to them all....*sighs*. I'm glad that you'll be able to see your little one. Hopefully you two can get something worked out for the next couple of weeks. :laugh: it would bewonderful to have a bunch of babies everywhere. wish i was close to a breeder like that....:woohoo:

Hi there! umm..since your baby is so young can it hold its head up yet? my little baby is just starting to. when she lays her head down there is a bump on the side of her neck. the care takers say that it is where the crop kinda goes sideways cause there's still some food in it. that's about all i would know. still doing a lot of research on these guys. hope that is right and it helps!

Hi there! WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME! This is a lovely site. :woohoo: You'll find lots of information about your grey and how to take care of him. I've found lots. Never had a large bird before. Caique is the biggest i've had. Lots of information about how to get prepared too! Can't wait to see more pics of your little toonie!:woohoo:

OMG! i couldnt go 3 weeks without seeing little love! I would die. Imagine how much they would have changed! ours changed in just 3 days. That may be because ours is so young. Hope the breeder will let you in!

true! why would you be obbsessing? i drive an hour and a half to go see my little love. I would be going crazy if i didnt have things to do to prepare. I still have like 3months to wait!*sighs*

Thank you so much! I've been looking around. Still trying to get the hang of the site. There's SO much information here!:blink:

Im so excited for you!i cant wait until my little TAG can come home... only 11 more weeks or so. Little precious is attempting to walk but cant quite get its feet under itself. very very cute!

This thread discusses the Content article: Help! New African Grey owner Hi! im not an expert on birds by any means but from what i have learned i would try to bathe the bird. if you dont want to take him out of his cage then try to put a large bowl of water in his cage and see if he does it himself. You may want to invest in a mister as well. this way you could gently spray the bird. Their feathers are almost completely water proof so it may take a while for the water to sink in. Try just talking to him daily and give him as much interaction as you can. Dont force him to do anything though! always give him the choice. I would definitely take him to the vet and tell the vet the situation. you may just need to get an initial physical type thing to see where the bird stands. Most avian vets will know what is normal for greys. Other then that i dont know what other advise i could give you. best of luck! chat any time you would like to. -Autumn
