{Nature-000200A9} hi all does any1 know why/what my bird is doing/wanting or needing as she holds onto her cage or her food bowl with 1 foot and her beak and and is trying to SKATE (you know try to ride a skate board that is not there lol) she will do this regular through out the day and some times it can last 2-3 mins. i dont think its coz she board as her cage door is open all the time we are home so she can come out, she has toys, fruits, nuts, veg and seeds she gets our love and time. 1 thing we have noticed is that she dont do it when on us or on her play top its only in the cage does any1 else's CAG do this ? why is she doing this ? thanks all {Nature-00020095}

{Nature-0002009B}hi again ok look at the pic that you have posted on the right hand side of the cage door that part of the seed guard has a bow in it down the length also down the front edge where the screws go, its bowed if you look now that i pointed this out the bows stand out like 2 sore thumbs lol i know they dont seem to want to bend but trust me and try this screew 3 sides of it together nice and tight get the triangle shape then the last piece put 2 screws in 1 side and begein to stretch or push or bend until the top hole lines up for the 3rd screw place that 1 in the reshape the bottom until it screws in all these cages seem to be the same and need slight adjustment when building them like i said it took me hours to work out how to use it and i had success and im sure others have had the same trouble my way worked for me and should do for you it doesnt damage the paint or powder coat just dont be to rough {Nature-00020095}

{Nature-000200A9}i posted the solution on mr congo for you but i missed out this detail when it makes a triangle push the 2 side bits out a little until its nearly square then put the back piece up and see how far off you are keep repeating this process until its square let us know how it goes{Nature-00020095}<br><br>Post edited by: Fisher, at: 2009/03/04 20:35

the cage sounds how ours was its very simple find the 1 thats the same lenght as the cage front and then the 2 side pieces screw them together and lift into place on the cage then put the back piece up and in place with the sides and front and screw it up tight thats it it took me 2 days to work out how they worked but there on now and doing the job

hi congratulations it proberly was not baby jabbering as my CAG rappa can say HELL but doesnt put the O on the end its so funny she was born 12th december 08 and only bein with us 5 days but i must addmit in this time she has only said it to us 4 times but thats enough to remember

{Nature-000200A9}hey there well done for taking in that grey and 1 day he will love you just as much as you will love him i have a baby and never had an older bird so its all new to me but maybe we can learn tips and tricks from each other as they all need our care love and time also well done for kicking the drugs i can tell by your story that your a total different person for doing so you must feel 1000 times better and your family must be so impressed by you. your story is quite touching mate so keep up the good work and stay in touch fisher. bare this in mind pal it takes a boy to take drugs but it take a man to beat the habbit so good look and keep up the hard work its well worth it (respect to you){Nature-00020095}

{Nature-000200A9}hi be a bit more pacific do you mean your a breeder? are you selling older greys? or problem birds? have you sold before? is this some thing your doing just to make money? or is it that your doing it for the fact you love CAG's? please explain also let people know abit about you like where your from how long you have been doing the bird thing lol im not bein harsh but the question you asked brings back more of a question to yourself hope this helps as id like to know more thanks Fisher{Nature-00020095}

{Nature-000200A9}hi there im not too sure because as i read ur post i am looking at RAPPA she was born on 12th december08 and she is a CAG but she also has feathers like yours im sure that this is normal and will change in time im going to look at the live photo album and check to see if this is the case on other babie CAG's as im very interested in this now lol {Nature-00020095}

hi my first cag 2 days ago RAPPA is born 12th december 08 and she will eat anything offered to her but i dont know who much younger they can have them i know my baby has bein on seeds and fresh fruit from 9 weeks thats when it was first offered to her. maybe somebody else might be able to offer more help on this for hope this helps {Nature-00020095}

{Nature-00020095}thanks all we are having loads of fun and she can already nearly say hello she keeps on trying its sooooo sweet we cant belive how quick she is progressing eg, climbing and flying she loves had a few crashes but overall shes got the hang of it thanks all {Nature-0002009B}

thanks for the advice we pretty much just left her to sort her self out yesterday we stood talking and offering her food and this morning she allowed me to stroke her so hopefully within a little time she will trust us all i guess giving her plenty of room and time she will be ok and come out of her shell thanks again{Nature-00020095}

thankyou i know its early days but its very worrying hopefuly its just a phase and it will wear off in the next couple of days
