NASY

I am so sorry to hear of Kens death.My deapest condolences to everybody who loved and cared for him.from what I read ,he must have been a very charismatic person. His bird friends will miss him a lot I am sure

MARY DATES ARE FINE AND VERRY GOOD FOR YOUR GREY.MINE LOVES THEM.DONT GIVE HIM TOO MUCH BECAUSE HE WILL HAVE STOOL PROBLEMS OK? THEY DO THE SAME THING GRAPES DO.

I RECENTLY TRAVELD WITH RICCO FOR OUR SUMMER HOLIDAY BY SHIP FOR 12 HOURS,HE TOOK IT OK AS I WAS MOST OF THE TIME WITH HIM. I KEPT HIS TRAVELLING CAGE COVERED SO HE WOULDNT GET FRIGHTEND BY STRANGE THINGS TO HIM.HE HAD PLENTY OF FOOD AND WATER.WHEN WE REACHED OUR DESTINATION HE WAS SEEING HIS SUMMER HOME FOR THE FIRST TIME,AT FIRST HE WAS QUIET BUT AFTER 2 DAYS HE WAS AS USUAL.I DONT HAVE ANY BODY BACK HOME SO I ALWAYS TAKE MY ANIMAL FRIENDS WITH ME.IF YOUR GREY IS VERY CLOSE TO YOU I SUGEST YOU TAKE HER WITH YOU OTHER WISE LEAVE HER AT HOME TO BE LOOKED AFTER.HAVE A GOOD TIME.

HI DINA.I ALSO HAVE A SIMILAR PROBLEM, NOT A BIG ONE LIKE YOUS AS I AM HIS BEST GIRL,I WORK WITH TREATS AND TOYS WITH BELLS TO MAKE HIM INTERESTED IN THE TOY AND IT SEAMS TO WORK. GOOD LUCK.

HI KERI.PLEASE DONT LEAVE THE GREY FORUM.I LOSTS A GREY AND I WAS REALY UPSET,BUT I STILL KEPT ON READING THE INFORMATION GIVEN BY OTHER MEMBERS ON AFRICAN GREY FORUM AND FINELY I GOT A NEW BABY AND I FEAL REALY GOOD KNOWING THAT I CAN GET HELP AND INTEREST FROM PEOPLE I DONT KNOW. THEY ARE ALL G R E A T!!!!!!!!!

i realy hope you find the grey missing.good luck!

Hello every one. Thank you very much.I will send you a picture of Ricco as soon as posible.These days we have high temperatures in Greece and i dont know how to keep the place cool for Ricco.We have an aircondition in the room but Iam afraid that might harm our Ricco. Any sugestions are very wellcome.I wish you all a good day.

Hi every one, I am very happy to inform all friends that we have a new baby grey at home. After we lost cookie it was realy hard for us ,it took some time to get over his loss.Any way i happend to walk by a pet shop and i saw RICO It was love at first sight. He came near me and started to make baby sounds, that was it. He is 8 months old and looks in very good health.I read all the information given in the forum for better keeping , it is VERY HELPFULL. Thank you. have a nice day every body.

HI EVERYBODY! I WAS TOLD BY THE VET THAT COOCIE HAD AN INFECTION OF BACTERIA THAT HE HAD FROM WHEN HE WAS BORN, AT SOME TIME HIS IMMUNE SYSTEM WAS NOT SO GOOD SO THE BACTERIA MULTIPLIED. AFTER TREATING THE BIRD WITH BAYTRIL FOR SEVEN DAYS HIS PEPTIC SYSTEM HAD TROUBLE SO HE WAS TREATED WITH NYAMICIN.I THINK THAT MADE THINGS WORSE.ANY WAY THE VET INSISTED THAT HE WAS TOO WEAK.UNFORTUNETLY WE DONT HAVE MANY SPECIALIZED VETS FOR BIRDS .HE WAS OUR ONLY CHOICE.WHEN WE DECIDE THAT ITS TIME TO HAVE A NEW BIRD WE WILL CLEAN AND DISNFECT ALL HIS BELONGINGS JUST IN CASE.I WAS THINKING OF BOILING THE WATER BEFORE I GIVE IT TO ANY BIRD I HAVE,IS THAT OK? THANKS A LOT HAVE A GOOD DAY.

TO EVERYBODY THAT CARED!THANK YOU SO MUCH. UNFORTUNETLY I HAVE VERY BAD NEWS. COOKIE DIED YESTURDAY.HE WAS SHOWING ME HIS LOVE UNTIL THE END HE WANTED TO BE IN MY HANDS. HE IS MISSED VERY MUCH BY ALL THE FAMILY. EVEN THOUGH HE WAS QUIET FOR TWO WEEKS ITS AS IF HE STOPED TALKING YESTURDAY. WE ARE THINKING OF GETING A NEW BABY IN THE NEAR FUTURE. THATS WHEN WE GET OVER COOCIES LOSS. DO YOU THINK WE SHOULD? THE TRUTH IS THAT ONCE YOU HAVE HAD A GREY YOU CANT DO WITHOUT ONE .THANKS FOR YOUR RESPONSE.

THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR HELP. I HAVE DONE AND STILL DO EVERY THING I CAN TO HELP COOCIE.I WILL NOT GIVE UP UNTIL HE GETS WELL.I HAVE DONE PRACTICALY EVERY THING YOU HAVE SUGESTED.I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO MENSION THAT I AM AN ANIMAL LOVER AND HAVE MANY AT HOME.WE DONT HAVE A CLINIC IN OUR AREA UNFORTUNATLY FOR BIRDS,BUT WE HAVE A GOOD VET WHO TAKES CARE OF WILD BIRDS ALSO,SO I AM HOPING HE CAN HELP.THANK YOU SO MUCH. I WILL KEEP UP WITH YOU. BY THE WAY "HEALP"IS FOR HEAL AND HELP.

THE VET THAT DID THE TESTS ON OUR GREY WAS AN AVIAN VET .THE TESTS SHOWED BACTERIA,AFTER SALIVA TEST AND STOOLTEST.THE TEMPERATURE IS 29C IS IT WARM ENOUGH OR MUST I DO SOMETHING ELSE. BY THE WAY I GIVE HIM WATER WITH VITAMINS .HE EATS A LITTLE AT ABOUT EVERY 2 HOURS

I HAVE A HEALTH PROBLEM WITH MY ONE YEAR OLD AFRIKAN GREY. 15 DAYS AGO HE STOPED TALKING AND PLAYING. AFTER 2 DAYS HE STARTED TO TREMBLE AND SPEND MOST OF THE TIME AT THE FLOOR OF HIS CAGE,HE OLSO STOPED EATING AS MUCH AS BEFORE. I WENT TO THE VET AND AFTER TESTING HIS SALIVA AND DROPINGS HE SUGESTED AN ANTIBIOTIC NAMED BAYTRIL TO TREAT BACTERIA. I HAD TO GIVE IT TO HIM FOR 5 DAYS, MY PAROT WAS STILL LOOKING ILL SO HE THEN SUGESTED FOR 2 DAYS A MEDICIN CALLED NYSTAMYSYN. I HAD A VERY DIFICULT TIME GIVING IT TO HIM BUT EVENTUALY WE MANAGED WELL ENOUGH.ITS BEEN 4 DAYS NOW AND THE SITUATION IS STILL THE SAME.DO I HAVE TO DO ANYTHING MORE? HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR THE RECOVERY? I AM A NEW OWNER OF AN AFRIKAN GREY AND VERY UPSET . WE ALL LOVE HIM VERY MUCH AND WANT TO TAKE GOOD CARE OF HIM. THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO ME .
