renee

I have been to speak to the shop owner today, he was very helpful, we have now got a bag of AG seed which he told me to give him some on a night, as he could tell I was distressed about the whole thing and he said it wont be doing my AG any good if im upset about it, He also said if I give him a bowl of fruit/veg on a morning then im not worrying that he will starve to death ! I will still put the pellets in to see if he nibbles on them. I feel a lot better now I have got professional advice. Thankyou to all.

Thanks to everyone ! Im off to bed now and hopefully sort things out in the morning !

Thankyou Dave for that advice I do agree about changing diet drastically but as I am not an expert on greys I went along with the advice given to me, I am going back to pet shop in the morning to speak to the owner.I will buy some more seed as we have done away with what we had, I am so angry with the advice given to me by the shop owner as I am now concerned that my grey will not go back to how he was a week ago, Do you think once he starts eating seed again he will be ok ? I will ask about the safflower and also try to get palm oil, thankyou very much -

He has been plucking for about 8-9 months now, No changes that I can think of.

Hi ! He eats veg/fruit also along with seed but I have been in touch with his breeder who suggested changing diet as he thought he was over eating on sunflower seeds which could cause the plucking. He seems a healthy bird, only now I am worrying about his drastic change of personality. Thankyou for your quick reply its much appreciated as I am very concerned for him.

I would appreciate any advice on my grey I am new to the forum. my grey is 2 year old feeding on seeds, he is plucking feathers badly so we were told to change his diet and make him go 'cold turkey' it has been a week now and I am really worried about him, he has stopped talking and is just making squeeking sounds he will not eat the pellots at all, the main reason I am needing advice is ' why has he stopped talking he was such a brilliant speaker and I feel he is trying to talk but cant' I am so confused please help ! thankyou
