Robert and Mary My deepest simpathy to you! Please remember that god works in his own time dont give up that easily!!! And i am sure your bird loved you but remember that even tough she grew up indoors she is still (in nature) wild animal. Im sure thats not the reason for her taking off. I will keep praying for you! God give me peace of mind to exept what i can not change, courage to change what i can and the wisdom to know the diffrence.

LOL!!!{Feel-good-0002006E} I am pretty sure he is a cag i had one before:) but he is from cameroon and i did read a post on this forum saying there is no such thing as a cameroon african grey!!! The idoit i bought him from also said he is a cameroon african grey, but i now that this can not be true thats why i asked! But thanks for all the replies!!! yvette<br><br>Post edited by: liefie1, at: 2008/10/03 16:32

Liefie is doing so well i can even see the diference in him since sunday untill now, at first he did not want us to hold him ( rather sleep in his basket) today he is runing after me and moaning alot if i put him down!! He is also much more awake and is playing even exercising his wings!! But he would eat as long as i give him food even if his crop is very full , i only feed him enough so that his crop is full. should i feed him if he wants more food inbetween feedings??? I am not sure cause i can see he is underweight. Is there something that i can faten him up with?? exept for his formula?? can i give him some soft fruit or veggies??? Kind regards Yvette

Im not sure, mine was brought here from cameroon and i heard that there is no such thing as a cameronn african grey. So can any one tell me what he is?? meening can i call it a cag? if its from cameroon?? He looks like a cag to me... Yvette<br><br>Post edited by: liefie1, at: 2008/10/03 15:28
