Greeting all!! I wanted to thank everyone for giving me such a beautiful welcome, thank you thank you thank you from the depth of my heart, bless you all! I am so proud to be part of the Grey family. Thanks Lyric for the link to the N'kisi project. There is so much similarities with N'kisi and my Fluffy, its amazing that they really do have telepathic abilities. You know almost everytime I come home I hear Fluff yelling out my name"Tooonyyy", that's even before I take out my keys from my pocket, it truly is amazing and should definately have much more research done on Grey's telepathic abilities. Thanks again all for your wonderful comments. Much love to all! God Bless Tony

Good day all, I'm Tony from Southern Ontario Canada. My CAG Fluffy turned 2 May 5th, he had such a wonderful birthday party and actually sung Happy birthday to Fluffy in full, he was so cute singing his own birthday song. I can't imagine my life without him, he is now part of my soul. His vocabulary is now up to 2081 words, with a massive vocab of sound effects as I'm sure your all in tune with. Fluffy is so polite, always saying thank you for any and everything he recieves, to tell you the truth I didn't even teach him to say thank you he just picked it off us. I really feel sometimes he know what I am thinking, before I am about to say something to him he says exactly what I was about to tell him, so I came to the conclusion they have some type of telepathic abilities. Anyone else have these types of experiences with their Greys? Its such a great pleasure to me introducing myself to the welcome room. Much Love to all!

Wow!! I thank you all for your help and advise, it truly means so much to me. I do have a web cam and will for sure start recording him when I'm out, I hope I do get at the root at the problem thats causing him to shred his right side flight feathers. Maybe he is somehow banging his right side feathers on his cage when I am not with him. I will try moving some of his toys around and see how it goes. You are all awesome and I thank you again for your support. Much Love to all!! God Bless, Tony

I have never seen have any problems with bars on his cage, actually he's quite comfortable with his cage. Fluffy does have his full flight feathers. Its weird because the left side grows perfect with not one shread with his feathers but the right side always ends up looking shorter, the feathers are still intact but there is shread on all his right flight feathers. I thank you for your help. Tony p.s 'I meant to say the right side flight wings gets slightly shredded.' from my first post.

May 5th my beautiful and much loved Congo African Grey Fluffy turned 2 years old. Fluffy is such a happy bird, he loves the be loved and so loves to give love. He is the love of my life, I just love him to death. His vocabulary is greater than 2 thousand words, his loves singing so much. He sings in full happy birthday to you, frera-jaca and many more choruses from songs. For some reason Fluffy's left flight wings grows perfectly but his left side flight wings gets slightly shredded, it just looks like he's over preening on the left side. He always starts over preening when the blood feather grows to about 4in long. We had our vet do complete blood work, and thankfully they all came back negative. His food consists of daily fruits and veggies, and pellets called Harrison's bird food(High Potency course) Has anyone ever had this problem with their parrots and if so were you able the remedy it. I thank God he doesn't have a picking or plucking problem and but am afraid this might possibly lead to one God forbid. I do bath him once a day with misty warm water, he hates it so much. I wish he could learn to take a bath on his own, is there anyway I can teach him that? But most importantly would have any solutions or tips for the left sides shredding? Any and all help and tips would be greatly appreciated. Thank you and God Bless all! Tony
