Hello and Welcome... At his age he could be down to 1-2 formulas a day, try one at diner time. Here's some threads that might offer some help:http://www.greyforums.net/forums/showthread.php?189769-Abundent-Feeding!&highlight=abundant+feeding http://www.greyforums.net/forums/showthread.php?190462-We-Feed-Our-Fid-s!!!-Update http://www.greyforums.net/forums/showthread.php?190484-Need-some-help! What we do is put pellets, seeds, cheerio's, fresh veggies and a small amount of fresh fruit, etc... we never let fresh food sit out more than a couple of hours, a lot is wasted. Right now, your baby is keeping his weight down, he'd rather fly and play instead..

Welcome and welcome to your new baby....Time, there is no limit to how long it takes to work with a Grey, their a learning machine, and they can change from day to day. Quote:deal with it in a non-confrontational way,"Start your desired training, set your goals and work with him, he's testing you, suggestion, when he bites, say "no" calmly, walk away, walk back, do something like " Hi Baby, I love you' and touch him again...." Keep reading, your on a good start......

Thank you so much for joining the forum. Please tell us story's and share photo's....Jay

You have earned and deserve it......

I'm really sorry, this bothers me...

The dosage for Cod liver oil is: 1 Drop per 500 grams.

QUOTE: The basement has a separate furnace that I keep at 70. I turn the heat down to 62 upstairs when I leave for work. UNQUOTE: A little info, the ideal temp for a Grey is 72-74 degrees with humidity...Many years ago, we would feed bird's that plucked small seeds to keep them busy.... Times have changed....

LOL....African Grey's are known to be clumsy, some worst than others, especially if they don't fly much........

Me again LOL, Check this about African Grey Phobics..http://www.africangreys.com/articles/greys/elephants.htm Do a search on the web for this, Interesting!!!!! "Phobic Poicephalus" http://books.google.com/books?id=VmrxwGUsOpwC&pg=PA87&lpg=PA87&dq=Phobic+Poicephalus&source=bl&ots=auMijK1kCv&sig=H4BUYVRZlzukXdLa0g87zytaAHE&hl=en&ei=vNxdTPLMMJS6sQPl2PSqCw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=2&ved=0CBYQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=Phobic%20Poicephalus&f=false

We have a number of abused fids, physical and mental...Our Vets recommended, chamomile,, we've used it for many years with great success. CHAMOMILE-- One of nature's safest and mildest sedatives useful to calm birds in stressful situations. Studies show that this herb also kills the yeast fungi Candida albicans as well as certain staph bacteria. http://www.landofvos.com/articles/kitchen5.html http://www.birdchannel.com/bird-magazines/bird-talk/2008-february/bird-safe-flower.aspx

NONONO, Please don't leave, you have so much to offer, it's the weekend it's slow. Let me get working on this later this evening I'll have something for you..Jay

Anytime a re-home of a rescue is involved, all issues need to be addressed. We can only judge ourselves. It appears from what you've written about yourself and your experiences, your aware of issues involved, and stating you wanted to be sure, the decision can be only made by you...To my original post, not wanting to wish it, I still wonder if someone did this to the poor baby, in my rescues, I've see it alot.....

I'm sorry, I personally wouldn't do it, it has a lot of Alcohol in it, This is only my opinion! http://www.greyforums.net/forums/showthread.php?189967-100-natural-aloe-vera-juice

Grey't Mama, did a good hard job...Thank you

Here's some more good info.....http://www.perkyparrots.com/bluefronted.cfm

As a point of interest, I'll be another 200,000 years [approx lol] before parrots will become " Domesticated'. When a Amazon fall's, He says " Ouch, I fell" A Grey, looks at all possibility's including the possibility of falling, before committing himself...

Thank you, Question? Quote:Then his dad left for a few days. I'm unsure of the details (care during vacation for example) but when he returned home,Unquote. Who took care of the bird at this time? Did they do anything to the bird? A story: A woman had a wonderful Grey for eight years, one day the woman had track lighting in stalled above the cage by to work men, with the Grey still in the cage! to this day, the bird has never been the same... Maybe I shouldn't say it, but it sounds as if someone or animal or something did this to the baby!!! Welcome to the Forum Jayd
