Hi there Give Northern parrots a try for Harrisons they stock 1 1lb bags for under ten pounds which will last a while Muesli might seem healthy but it contains a fair amount of sugar as well which sort of counteracts the whole healthy thing Lots of leafy veg, bit of fruit but try to cut down on the seeds. Its difficult at first but with a bit of perseverence I am sure you will get your grey to accept a better diet I also bought a metal skewer type thing from the hamster dept at pets at home I thread on some sweetcorn, pomegranate,pasta etc and he has so much fun actually working to get his food Best of luck;)

Spiderman.. Willem Dafoe

Sweeney Todd..starring the "gorgeous":) Johnny depp

Thanks sheila I hope you are getting on ok? George hasnt touched the chest area since and seems he was just having an off day. Guess we might get a few of those one day he seems aloof another hes like a piece of velcro! Enjoy the weekend all

Hi all, bit bothered today George my Goffins has made a tiny tear in his chest area. Just when I thought that he was getting along nicely, hes been covered with a tube bandage and aloed all over, hes also had a dose of Baytril today to fight any impending infection and he hasnt been able to touch the area since. Straight to the vets if not. Im just so concerned about placing a collar on him as his feathers were coming along so well and I think he might just go insane with the plucking once the collar has been removed.:blink: but of course it has to be watched over with great care. Its a minor thing at the moment I wonder if its a sexual frustration thing now as he keeps offering me his back end rather than his head for a scratch. Maybe hes a tad frustrated He has a multitude of shredding toys and is out the cage all day long. Anyway Im sure this is just a blip and it will all be ok, best not to panic really. Hope you all had a good day Regards Hayley

Hope you get better soon Sheila, all the best to you and enjoy the day

Satanic rites of Dracula..Christopher Lee;)

Great pictures. Love the pic of him spreading his wings

John Its possible to get a mix minus the alcohol,which you must then dilute in bottled water and keep in the fridge Rescue remedy is usually sold in the store and is a combination of several plant extracts, but if you look through a search engine you can find details of the seperate flower remedies and get a mix to suit your needs. As for raffia its sold in florists you can tie it to the side of the cage and birdy can have fun shredding it;) My cockatoo has a hard plastic peanut shaped treat holder and he has to figure out how to get the nuts through the nut shaped holes, but my grey has one of the rubbery, holey treat holders and hasnt yet chewed it to bits.. I cant think of much more to suggest but I hope it goes well with whatever you get to try next;) Best Hayley P.s you have a great looking grey, what a fantastic picture.<br><br>Post edited by: pugwash, at: 2009/01/26 11:17

Get well soon Jen;) Bet you are glad to have two days off you must be cream crackered She lol lol;) Enjoy Sunday

Hi John Welcome to the forum I have a cockatoo who used to feather pluck. Since I have had him he seems to have forgotten all about his past ways and the feathers are all coming back If I have to leave the house for any period of time I make sure he is left with heaps to do I make my own shredding toys out of raffia and paper and its enough to keep him busy for ages I also purchased a mix of Bach flower remedy which I either spray onto him at misting time or drop a bit into his food or water If you go onto any Bach remedy site there will be a full explanation of the flower remedies you might think suitable to use They last a long time and really do seem to work I use them all kinds of stuff and they really have a proven effective rate Best of luck Hayley;)

Many thanks and good luck with your new arrival also. The Amazons are lovely I am sure he will bring a lot of joy to yourself and Whisper ..Great name by the way;)
