Caroline has given good advise. Take things very slow and at the greys pace. It may take a long time but if you have the patiance it can work. As long as he seems well the vet visit next month is fine.Just carry on caring for him and talking , sitting by the cage and if he will allow feeding treats by hand. Leave the cage door open and he will wander out when he feels secure enough.Let him come out on his own, dont force the issue.
Very few birds sleep in a tent and vertually none lie down.I agree with all that has been said hear, the best way to keep birds legs in good condition is a veriety of perches, in width as well as texture.<br><br>Post edited by: she, at: 2009/04/13 20:25

No you cant be house proud and own a grey.Its the globs of fruit on the cealing I find the worst:lol: My grey says" who made that mess" when I am cleaning up after him or "heres Henry" when the hoover comes out. I have a henry hoover its perfect for heavy duty cleaning.
Congratulations on getting Tim. He will need time to settle but I see already you have some progress.He came towards you in the cage so thats brilliant. Keep up the good work and above all take it slow and at his pace. Keep us all up to date.
Yes I have read that baby greys are happy in a slightly smaller cage untill they get more acrobatic and confident.some people do this and replace the cage as the bird matures. From a financial point of view, unless you intend to use the smaller cage as a sleep cage it makes sence to just get the larger cage and adapt it by lowering the perches and putting a blanket on the base to ease any falls.
