Hi I have COPD I need to get dusty my Gray out side as I don't want to get rid of him because I have a lung disease Can any body give me any advice on Avery and how to look after greys outside

Hi all just to tell you how I am getting on with Dusty the only thing he will take from me are small bits of cheese. I have tried Pistachio, Cashew and Almonds nuts so far but he just throws them to the floor I am will carry on tying him on different tip bit as I don't think cheese will be very Good for him and not had much time for him as I spent a week in hospital Ron

Thanks for your advice Dave I will start tomorow thanks again Ron

hi sorry did not read your reply Dave i will try all that thanks does that meet dusty must not go on my shoulder and do you think he should stay in his cage for now till her settles down thanks again Ron

Dusty my Gray he wont do any thing I ask he wont take any food fruit or treats from my hand he will go in his cage by him self, rather than have me put him in it he flies on my shoulder only to bite me I cant find a treats to temp him with I think if I found a treat that he could not resist i would be able to train him he likes apples and grapes but he wont take them from me but if I put them in the cage he will go in and get them, if I leave the room Dusty was OK till we went on a holiday How do I get on right side of him if he wont take a treats
