I refuse to feed any pellet foods or colored kibbles. Hard to tell whats really in that stuff/junk. We only feed food we can see, touch, smell and eat it ourselves and feel good about it. Most of that kibble type food comes from China or elsewhere anyway and I do not have any trust or faith in the food safety system for ANY of our pets. My dogs eat a fresh raw diet. No kibble for them for 7 + years now!

We feed Dr. Harveys Perfect Parrot and Exotic Parrot and also feed lots of fresh fruits and veggies daily.He gets to eat some of what we are having too in small amounts. Some very healthy, some other stuff ... not so much. We also supply a bowl of Herb Salad for him to medicate himself if he needs to. GREAT Stuff!

I will get a quick video of it today and post it to the group. His wings are extreme clipped IMO. His new owner is going to let them grow out. It's sad really to see a clip like this. Mine has never been clipped whch is a little scary at times but I am happy for him to have his wings. The motion this bird is making is similar to begging and we wondered about sexual maturity too. He does not extend his wings fully. I will post when I get the video up. Thank you for your reply. I know it is just a guessing thing but I think you probably guessed right somewhere in that answer. Thanks again.

Hi! I am bird sitting for a friend of mine. I have a Grey of my own too. Anyway, she bought this boy from some people who needed to re-home and he is a nice bird but he flaps his wings a LOT. Holds them out in a begging type of position and they just flutter. But it seems to me that he does it to much. I have seen him do that for an hour non stop. He does not act stressed out other then that. He is eating, talking, normal droppings etc. Does anyone know what is going on here? He flaps the majority of the day like this. If you need a video I can get one tomorrow. His new owner has had him about 3 or 4 months and says he has always done this. She was told that he was 5 or 6 years old but we really have no clue. Thank for any help you can offer.
