Don't keep using hand feeding. Don't make it habitual or addicted for this thing. Train him for something else also. Even I was using this formula. But now I make it off. I love my birds. I have Parakeet and Grey in my maxi bella cage.<br><br>Post edited by: Talon, at: 2008/10/13 15:29

As I am a Lover boy. And I love birds too. So I will go for Miya (means beloved). Don't think about it now. just do it. I have a couple of gray parrot at my home. The African gray parrot is unsurpassed as a talker; the male can precisely echo human speech. Captive birds are alert and, compared with other parrots, relatively good-tempered. Some are said to have lived 80 years. The bird is about 33 cm (13 inches) long and is light gray except for its squared, red tail and bare, whitish face; the sexes look alike.<br><br>Post edited by: Talon, at: 2008/10/13 15:31

Before you buy your bird you need to buy its cage. Choosing the cage should take the same consideration it takes selecting a bird. This will be your Greys home- its safe place. It seems incomprehensible that someone would buy a tame Grey and not provide it with a cage. There are very important reasons why every should have a cage. It needs to literally know its place in the house, and know its cage is a refuge from danger to which it can return if it feels insecure. I have purchase Exotica for my birdies. You will get the best one in 400-500 Eur. Post edited by: masterid, at: 2008/10/10 11:10<br><br>Post edited by: Talon, at: 2008/10/13 15:34

I would like to suggest you clean it with hot water and if it is too much dirty then use little white vinegar in hot water. Don't use other chemicals. Toys are a key to the happiness of your bird. Finding the best ones are not always easy, and they do get expensive.Just be sure to sanitize/wash them well before passing them on to your Pets. Easy to do by running them through the dishwasher (unless you ARE the dishwasher of course.<br><br>Post edited by: Talon, at: 2008/10/13 15:36

Variety is the key here. Pelletted diets should form the foundation of the diet, but should be supplemented with a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables as well as grains and proteins for your bird. A small amount of seed mix can be fed as well, keeping in mind that seeds have some nutritional value and place in the diet but are largely fattening and poorly balanced as a main part of the diet. African Greys are probably best known for their amazing ability to mimic not only the human voice but also an impressive array of environmental sounds.<br><br>Post edited by: Talon, at: 2008/10/13 15:38
