Just to let you all know Popeye as now found a new home and the people where really nice so it makes me feel a little better but still gutted thanks to everyone on here for all the advice.

Thanks very much for the kind words and believe me if there is anyway we could keep him we would but finacially it is impossible for either of us to cut our hours and we are thinking of the birds welfare.

We are selling are african grey, 13 months old uk bread, hand reared and with hatching certificate comes with a Hati cage,travel cage,extra perches,box full of toys,food,vitimins,books,table top stand. Talking and whistling and favours women rather than men brilliant temprement and full of charecter. All in all the total cost to me is around £1200 i am willing to let go to a good home someone who as time to spend as we dont due to added work load and this is are reason for sale i will accept half of what we paid which is £600 any pics info please do not hesitate to contact me and i will help all i can.

As most of you know i have just got my first baby grey (Popeye) and he as really sttled in well its like having a new born child i even get up min the middle of the night to check on him. Anyway i am coping with most things thanks to this fantastic forum and the people on it i cant thank you all enlough. I am really confused on the correct method of bathing you grey i have been misting him with a garden sprayer once a week but i am unsure on how much to spray him i have been dpoing it from the top of the cage so it falls naturally like rainfall is this correct as i have said he doesnt mind being sprayed abd i dont want to distress him so would like to keep this method. I know there are post on this forum but theres so many different ways people do this so if its ok i would like to ask a few questions 1 how many time do i spray my grey per week 2 is it best to do it in morning or night 3 is there anything i can add to water that will be a benifit to grey. 4 i use luke warm water is this correct ?. Many thanks in advance for replies. <br><br>Post edited by: alpeters, at: 2009/05/04 13:31

:blink: I have been told about this and decided to consult a few people and i have been told that by microwaving a nut for 8 to 10 seconds it completly cures the nut and takes any badness out i dont know if any of this is correct but would be interested to here other peoples points of view
