i'll suggest that to my parents. i do try to get up as much as i can, but unfortunately it can sometimes be between 2-3 days between visits....when i do go up (and even when i was still living there), the first thing i had to do when getting into the house, was go straight to him and pick him up and play with him for a while. then when i go to leave, mum has to take him outside so he can see me drive off, otherwise he doesn't settle down. Thanks again for all of your help Phil<br><br>Post edited by: newwave19, at: 2008/10/13 08:44

thanks for your quick replies, i would love to take Oscar with me, but unfortunately the house isn't big enough fo have him here, and not to mention, my girlfriend is afraid of him. He has been getting regular baths but not with Aloe juice, so i have said to my parents and they're going to start using that. As for the Palm Oil, he has been getting that along with his food. I should have said earlier that due to Oscar never ever letting his wings grow, he gets let out in the morning when my parents get up, and and usually only closed up when going to bed at night (even when no one is there, he's not closed up as he causes no hassle). He also gets regular attention thoguhout the whole day from nearly all the family. Phil<br><br>Post edited by: newwave19, at: 2008/10/12 23:21

Hi, i need some help please. my parents own an African Grey called Oscar, they've had him for a number of years now, but we have 2 problems. 1 has been since we first got him, he has never let his wings grow back after getting clipped and also won't let his red tail grow..... and the 2nd problem is even worst, i have been Oscars favourite for the last number of years, and i have always spent a lot of time with him, but about 2 months ago i moved out and got a place of my own, since then he has started to pluck all the feathers off his breast and won't stop....i'm certain its because i've left because about 2 years ago i moved out for about 6 months and he done the exact same thing. Since moving out, my parents have tried giving him more attention than they used to, to try and conpensate for me being away, but it seems the more time they spend with him, the more time he he has to be with them, but when they go out of the house, this is when it happens. If someone could please give me some advice, i'd be grateful. Thanks in advance. Phil
