I guess ill keep on keeping on. Thank you

Got it thank you, Fatso is my avatar now.

Hello all, my name is Max. I have a Cameroon Congo African Grey, his name is Fatso. I have had him for almost 4 years now. Cant wait to get to know you all, as I will have questions for all of you, and hopefully some answers for some of you. PS: How do I set a picture as my profile pic, I tried searching couldn't find anything.

Hello all i seek your wisdom again. My grey bless his heart, has now for whatever reason developed a fear of toys his size or larger. I dont know how this has happened, one day I get him a toy and he is scared as all hell of it. What can I do? Here is what I have tried. I tried playing with the toy myself and chewing on it. I have moved the toy from further from his cage and every day moving it closer towards him. I have tried taking pieces from the toy infront of him and giving it to him, then trying to give him the rest of the toy. And in frustration I destroyed a toy infront of him trying to show him that theres nothing to be afraid of and giving him a similar toy to play with.

If you still have not found anyone I would be willing . Providing you accept me

Thank you all, for posting a reply! I have not posted in the welcome forum yet. I keep on thinking that if i got him a companion that all would be better, that he would be happy with some one else being at the house, while i am gone that he can talk to and sing with. JG told me that he might feel that he is getting replaced, and i understand that as well. What i am afraid of is that, they like routine and stability. If I were to give him more attention now and he got used to that, if i were to stop he might starting acting up again, over that. I will move his cage into my room to see if that works. ( I apologise about my punctuation, lack of sleep for the last two weeks is killing my brain. ) I will post some pictures of him when i get home.<br><br>Post edited by: daggerblade, at: 2009/07/27 22:47

Hello all, Ever since I divorced my wife, and she left with her grey "Finch", My grey "Fat-So" will start screeching as soon as the morning light hits him. He screeches like a hawk. When we first got him he would do the same thing, because the previous owners would keep him locked in his cage with a blanket over him, so he would sleep in longer. I have had him for a year now and thought we snapped him out of the habit. I understand that he is depressed that two of his flock mates are gone, but I want to get some sleep on the weekends and be able to open the windows to get some fresh air in at night from time to time. Thank you. PS: locking him up in his cage with a blanket over it, is not an option.
