Glad to hear Larry is doing better. Please keep us posted on his recuperation.

I save pieces of fresh fruit as treats for my fids while they are out of their cages. Yes, they do love fruit more than vegetables so I save them for "dessert."

Hi Mayssa, sounds like your new grey needs more time to get use to his new home. So talk to him calmly and tell him what you are doing while you are cleaning and reburishing his food and water. Some members even read to their greys to let them know they are not a threat. Patience and love will be rewarded a thousand fold with a wonderful forever companion.

qqsbad, karma to you for talking to Rani about your feelings. I believe they do understand so much more than they are given credit for. I talk to Ana Grey all the time. I'm glad you and Rani have reached a workable relationship.

I have a ladder that goes down to the floor for my fids to climb down or up on. Frankly, they still prefer to jump down. Sounds like things are going very well for you and Buster.

Great pictures of Tango!!!! Just a word of caution on the beak to lips kisses, if Tango should get spooked her beak could cause a nasty scar. So be very cautious. Congratulations on your sweet baby and welcome to the grey family!

Hi qqsbad and Rani and your new cockatoo!!! Can't wait to see more pictures of Rani and your new cockatoo. Welcome to the grey family!

Great photos of your acrobatic grey! Thanks for sharing them with us!

Hi Bobbisgran, congratulations on your baby grey, Bobbi. I'm looking forward to seeing some pictures and hear more about how Bobbi is doing. Welcome to the grey family.

Congratulations on your great birthday present, Adam. Bismark is a very nice looking grey. Can't wait to hear more about him. Welcome to the Grey family.

What a sweet thing to do for your girlfriend. Leto is a very sweet baby. Thanks for sharing your video!

There are threads in the Nursery Room about baby greys. I hope they will help you.

How old are you African???? Before anyone can really try to help you with your question, you should provide a little more background about yourself and your lifestyle.

What very funny photos Jilly!!!! Harvey certainly know what junk mail is good for!!!!!

Hi Jay, welcome to you and Angel. I look forward to hearing more about Angel and seeing some pictures as soon as Angel is more comfortable.

So glad the Aloe Vera is helping. Your sweet grey will be his old self soon (after his molt). Hope to hear more about you and your fids. If you introduce yourself in the Welcome/Introduction Room everyone will get a chance to say hi.

Becky, Red is a very fine looking TAG. Patience is all you can do. If he is coming out of his cage when you leave it open that's great. Just don't say or do anything when you see that he is out. Let him get comfortable. One step at a time. Just be patient and with love and patience he will soon be a wonderful forever companion.

Very nice looking cage Nicole.

I have a year old Timneh that was very well socialized by her breeder. She came to me very trusting and unafraid. I have tried very hard not to break that trust. Today she is still fearless and very trusting. She accepts toys readily. I will say that she chose me. At the breeder's there were 4 babies and I wanted the youngest. Well the youngest wanted nothing to do with me, but the oldest came to me and wanted to be my companion. So yes, each grey is different and the socialization they receive from the very beginning has a lot to do with everything. I did not meet my grey until I picked her up 3 hours away from my home. But I spoke to her breeder weekly and her routine was written down for me in detail by the breeder. She sat in her travel cage all the way home with me talking to her and with her whistling and chirping back. When we got home I did exactly as her breeder told me. To cuddle and love her for awhile before I put her in her cage. To this day Ana Grey is still a cuddle muffin with me. I hope your Yoshi remains the same for you; fearless and friendly to all.

Great pictures of Ecko in flight Caitlin. Ecko is absolutely gorgeous!!!

Oh I am looking forward to seeing your baby Eclectus!!!! What will you be naming him???

Hi Enzo, glad to hear that things are going better with Angel now that she has had a chance to settle in? Be patient and talk to Angel as if she were a person. Tell her what you are doing and relax. If you are relaxed she will calm down sooner as grey's can read your body language and feel your energy. So be calm and so will your new baby. Can't wait to hear more about Angel and see some pictures of you have a chance.

My but Darius is a busy beaver. :ohmy: Perhaps just a little stock in a lumber yard will do the trick!!! <br><br>Post edited by: luvparrots, at: 2009/08/24 21:12
