Usually i tie it up..but when i tie my hair he usually tries to bite my ear if hes not balanced...and it hurts...alot:angry: What should I do? When I tell him no..he stops for a while and then goes back to biting my hair! :angry: :angry: :angry:

Please dont take any of this personally and just understand what we are trying to do!! I bet you have a lovely grey and love it dearly, but you must know how to take care of it properly! And the amount of money you spend on them doesnt show how much you care for them! Its how YOU treat them not the doctors! Dont take it personally.. leaving the site because you dont like the people that are trying to help you, WON"T help your bird..it may make you feel better..but you joined so that you can get help with your grey! So let us help you!

have you tried grapes? Kaskoo LOVES them!! He will do anything to get his beak into a grape...! If he does like them...make him work for it..let him stretch around, move around.. and maybe even put a bit farther so that he has to fly a small distance to get it..:side:

Thanks! I got my photos in! ;D And I found a new toy for kasko!!! :woohoo: :lol: :woohoo: :cheer: (one that he actually likes!) i showed him a grape and made me stretch for it..then just as he was gonna grab it i put it in a new, plastic toothbrush cover..he looked at it for a while as i was opening and taking out and putting back the grape..after a while a wiggled the grape inside the cover and gave him the cover..He attacked it for awhile until he found out how to open it! Now he loves..and since he thinks there is always a grape or something yummy inside..i can put new foods for him to try..!! ;D ;D Its also great because i usually cut all his foods to a tiny size that can fit in his beak..about as big as a finger nail..and if its that size it will fit easily in the cover...!! Try it out its great!!! :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: finally something he enjoys! Baxter is SO much finer then kasko!! [at least he doesnt have a bald spot on his head!!]

:unsure: :unsure: how do i upload pictures to my profile ? btw i made a photobucket account for kasko and got his IMG code... but.... :unsure: i dont know where to put it:S :S :unsure: :unsure: Help! :blush:

oh ya he can step up and he loves it too! It was just the first few days... and know he's jumping from his cage to his stand all the time.. Before trimming them i want to try the cement blocks and nail filling him.. and im bleeding all the time from Kasko.. :pinch: I found two new ways to get him to try new foods!! :woohoo: :woohoo: I was eating and showing him what I was eating he was ignoring it (as usual ;p)... so as he was looking at it.. I pulled back my hand and acted like i was gonna eat his piece...he stretched his neck so far to get his property back! ;D Also.. I just tap the food on his beak a bit to get him to taste it.. So that he can have a taste without tasting it ;p I would give him a few quick tastes.. and keep going mmmm... this is goood! how yummmy!! He'll grab it and munch on it! ;D YAAAAAY!:woohoo: <br><br>Post edited by: Kaskoo, at: 2008/08/22 18:18

I dont know much about his previous owners...but he was in a cage and i dont think he was allowed out too..at the beginning he was scared to go to his stand, for the first few days i would just open up the cage and let him sit at the top, and as he enjoyed it more and more, i took him up to his stand..he doesnt want to come down anymore! When i got him all he would just eat sunflower seeds.. i got him a seed mix and now he loves it and barely touches the sunflower seeds!! :laugh: Unfortunately, his wings are clipped and I think its better that way.. my house is very big...and there are places that i cant get to even with a ladder..so if kasko got up there and got stuck or hurt... I couldnt possibly get him..! But he still does his daily flapping for about an hour...of course he doesnt get anywhere.. and if does jump off..he doesnt get hurt...but i think if he continues to fall off in hope to fly..he will get seriously injured.. :unsure: I am showering him every day... some days its easier then the rest...but at the end he's clean and thats whats important.. I have a small tube that i fill with just about an inch of..he doesnt jump in.. he just stands in the edge and watches me play with the water..and i giggle and swirl my fingers, and splash a bit.. until he gets calm about it...then i splash him with a bit of water...he just stands there..and then turns so that i can splash his back ;D I found its easier if i just put him and the tub on the floor.. since there are no distractions...and no where to run to! Kasko HATED getting misted... ;p I'm still exploring toys...he didnt come with any in his cage...and almost everything i give him he ignores..im still trying new things..and im sure ill find some thing soon ;D Thanks for the good advice... I will try some of the things u mentioned in your other posts... especiallly trimming his nails...i dont let him get on me unless im wearing a thick jacket so that he cant scratch me..

Kaskoo is still adjusting to the daily baths.. He's learning new things in the bathroom...and im finding new ways to shower him...but i think the main thing is just being calm.. and it's easiest if its only me and kaskoo..hes still not used to it..but it will grow on him.. ;D

i changed his room and he is sleeping much better now ;D thanks for the advice!

is it normal for my CAG to be asleep all day long? The only time he is up is while hes eating picking his feathers or singing a bit..rest of the day he's sleepy or sleeping.. If something wakes him up he will get really moody and he wont play or sing he'll just ignore everything.. :dry:

Thanks for the link and the good advice.. I read through a few bath ideas and after i took a shower i took him into the shower..i let him stay in the steamed bathroom then i sprayed him a little in the sink he was a bit scared but calmed down at the end.. I'm sure after a few days of repeating the process he'll enjoy it more... Thanks for the advice! Kasko is about a year old...and he pretty much doesnt do anything.. but its okay ;D i love him..he doesnt fly around because of his wings, so he tries to jump..and he usually hits his head on things..:unsure: but hes not hurt..he usually just stands on the top of his tree and sleeps.. about the food i heard that i should try new foods in the morning..so should i empty or lower the amount of food in his pot at night? when i removed the sunflower seeds and have put them as treats..he ignoreess!!!! but im moving slowly on him and im not going to cut him off entirely at once...a bit at time.. i think itll be better that way..

i tried some dates with kasko..he doesnt like the date as much as the seed..he loves to crack them open...i think the dates are too sweet for him..he just takes a tinny bite..so i eat the dates and give him the seed..

Ive tried eating it and giving him the food he doesnt like it ;( he really likes his seeds ive been trying to cut him off but he just ignores all the other food...the only thing he eats is grapes ( he loves them so much we use them as a bribe or treat) and pairs .. if i put anything else in his food he'll just throw it out or ignore the fact that there is food all day.. at the end of the day he gets so hungry but continues to ignore so i mix some seeds in to his food and again he throws everything other then the seeds out of the pot! Help!

Kasko is allwayys bored and half asleep! (his wings are clipped) I've tried alot of the things that were on the forum: -Straws: completely ignored it..and gave me a 'are u crazy' look - knotted string: he had tons of fun..but his beak got stuck in it once so i cut it off.. - mirror: totalllllly freaked - swing: scared to death of it -kids hulla hoop: did a crash-landing - plastic ball: ignores it What can i do!? I still have somethings i need to try like checking out dogs and baby toys..hopefully they will work. Any advice?

hi! i have had a CAG for a few months...he's not my first CAG but, all my other birds never acted this way.. His wings are clipped..and he's always always sleepy! In the afternoon he speaks the most.. but mostly he just whistles..he doesnt bathe and he doesnt play alot too.. Also..I'm having a hard time trying to cut him off sunflower seeds.. he doesnt want to eat anything else ..except the occasional grape and pear.. If i change his food to a fruit salad or anything else he wont go near it.. I found grey forums when i was looking for ideas to entertain him..and i must say t has some great ideas that im trying out ... all the toys ive made for him he didnt like except once when i tied some string on his tree branch..he liked it alot but i cut it off after his beak got tangled in it... I'm hoping grey forums will help me entertain my bored CAG :lol:
