I use a fine sprayer to shower my three parrots. I never spray my three in the face but upward or downward until that they are completely wet. They love it.
Hi Bambi, welcome to you and Jesse. Very nice introduction. I look forward to learning more about Jesse and seeing some pictures of her when you get a chance.
You need to be very careful about glass windows/doors, etc. Our parrots don't realize that it is glass and hard and think they are going to be outside flying. You should make sure that your grey knows that this is glass and very hard. Your grey can be hurt very easily. Perhaps some stickers on the glass. I always show glass to my parrots by tapping on it so they realize it is hard and that they shouldn't try to go through it. I talk to my parrots all the time so that they know what I am doing. Some greys are very cautious and you have not had Miki with you all that long so give her more time to settle in.
Hi Mike and Sammie. Looks like you are learning to read your grey very well. Kudos for learning quickly that grey's certainly have a mind of their own and are very intelligent. Looking forward to seeing some pictures of Sammie and hearing more about him. Welcome to the Grey family!
Hi Hushnet, kudos to you for learning about greys and not just jumping right in. Read, read, read and ask all the questions you desire. We will help all we can. Welcome to the Grey Forum.
My CAG, Sterling Gris, is 2 and sings, "Bad, Bird, Bad Bird, whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do when they come for you? Both Sterling Gris and Louie do carry a couple of tunes without words.
I am retired and live alone with my three parrots so I spend 24/7 with them. They are out of their cages all day except if I am out for the morning/afternoon/day. They are flighted so they go into all the rooms but my office (my canary resides there, is flighted and is out most of the day), my bathrooms and my bedroom. I once a week keep my parrots caged for the day so that they are use to remaining in their cages just in case for some reason I am gone for the day say like in the hospital or such. Need to be prepared.
My gang follow me from room to room and if I am in my office, they go into their bird room which is across from my office and where they can see me. If they can see me, they are happy. My home is full of boings and perches so my parrots have places in each room to observe me. They of course feel free to perch on me whenever they like.
