I've reread your post a couple of times, I have to agree wit Dave. [i also have many birds and a couple of Grey's] My concern is leaving him for "A week", my personal opinion, bad idea...Since a Grey is a emotional and thinking bird, a week will give him time to do some "negative thinking". Our Grey's are used to us being gone for 7 or 8 hr's a couple days a week, if we come home to late, they're "bittie, emotional and some what standoffish.[spoiled] You have to do some serious think my friend. You can ask all the people in the world for their option and receive a different one from each, only you can know what is right fin your heart for Bear. Remember, "A Grey is more of a child then a bird". Jayd

:oI like this, it's so nice to see them get along.....Jayd;)

So cute, I want a Quaker..... Jayd

Welcome, you know it's a Grey world, Our suns love our Grey's, but they came second and was raised with them....Your now a part of this Greyt community, thanks.. Jayd

Hello, Don't allow your Grey on your shoulder unless you invite him. Bring him from your waste up to your shoulder, your flock leader! Work on step- up step-down a lot... Jayd

Jill and Judy have given you the best advice, bring her into your home and into your heart.....24/7/365 Jayd

Welcome my friend, this is the right place where no question is too small or silly. You can laugh, cry, and give and get here... Jayd

Some body loves you!!!! Tell them you love them and walk away... Jayd

;)I have another beauty this week for you...the Orange-winged Parrot, (Amazona amazonica.) Our Salsa is a hybrid Orange-winged/Yellow-naped with the distinctive orange wing. The Orange-winged Parrot is an Amazon parrot that is endemic to the tropical areas in South America, from Colombia, Venezuela, Equador, Trinidad and Tobago south to Peru, Northern Bolivia, Central Brazil, and South-Western Mato Grosso. Orange-winged Amazons are one of the smaller Amazons with some species as small as 10 inches. They generally average about 12 to 13" in length (31-33cm). They weigh around 340 grams. The Orange-winged Amazon is ofter confused with the Blue-fronted Amazons. However, the orange-winged amazons are the only amazon with orange feathers in their wings, thus the name Orange-Winged Amazon. The color flight feathers in the Blue Fronts are red. The plumage is mainly green with a blue forehead, some yellow on the crown, cheeks and outer tail tips, and an orange speculum (= distinctive wing patch) . The beak is horn-colored with a gray tip. The feet are pale grey / horn brown. Males and females look alike.

How do you [Dave] use fresh Aloe plant? What all can it be used for? Thanks Jayd P.S. Here in Arizona where our temperatures are all ready reaching over 95 degrees it grows wild and free!!!

Hello and welcome to this "Greyt" forum where every ones main concern is to learn and help. How old is Obi now? There's many here who have or have had little "Buttheads".. Jayd

Welcome, don't worry about weaning him, let him wean himself, some birds take longer than others, our Spock took over 22 weeks, give him all he'll eat. Keep pellets and seeds in the cage 24/7, keep veggies changed and fresh.[assorted types] We call it "Abundance Feeding" make sure he always has more[!] then enough food. Danmcq and Dave007 and others will answer more...His feathers will grow back, and Greys are famous for being clumsy. Thanks Jayd

GREYT!!!! Jayd

Thanks Dan, good point, power and distance, so we don't want so much light its *blinding" but just enough that it enhances its surroundings and caresses there body's. Gentlemen, thank you. Jayd Note: I have our camera set for "UV" light for taking pictures of our fid's, photos are bluish if I don't....
