Hi Nancy, always remember when we assume, we make a ass [out of] u [and] me. LOL, You should know the only person I agree with is myself lol...................................Thanks Jay
Welcome and thank you, you have been given some wonderful and accurate and personal info from these good people. Like you've been told, grey can go in either direction, like you, like both, or like your husband even if he spends the least amount of time. I'm going to stick my neck out, check out our Amazon Room, a zon might be more suited in what your looking for. Thanks Jay
If I may, I'd like to believe there are more concerned breeders such as our Dave007 and others then there are bad ones. The blame for un-weaned babes is as much the people who buy them's fault as it is bad breeders,most buyers are misinformed and uneducated and some just head strong.. I know for a fact, Dave, myself and others here have and will continue to fight and educate to stop this practice.
I wish I would have continued to explain in my last post that a parrot becomes very hard to integrate into a human world the longer it stays in a natural life with their flock and family. Parry-Parrot should be commended on their decision to buy weaned. LOL,my problem isn't what i know but what I've forgotten and will not be able to pass on or to teach..This forum is how we learn. .Jay
A Grey will spend around 2 years with their parent before moving on to again stay with their original flock. A Grey doesn't start to mature until about 4 years old, and once again when they take a mate in most cases they remain with their original flock, at that their not in a big hurry to settle down. A conure, the father kicks out the baby when their fully fledged, he says your on your own.
Hey Nancy, I don't quite understand your post? trancework and I get along great, no hactchet anywhere, he posted, I thought it was for me but didn't understand it, i replied, he replied, end of story, we communicated. Thanks
I'd like to add this. Toweling used properly is okay, it's when it's used as the only means is it bad. Always use toweling as a last means, a vet has to do it in most cases during a visit. Try everything else first. A grey will over time if used to often resent it. So each time you have your fid out try different means of getting them back in the cage. It's easier to pick up a Grey if their on the floor, always put your hand from the front, standing in front of you fid. Thanks Jay
Take your baby out as much and as often as you can. Remember when holding a Grey [or parrot] hold them lightly, the area you hold them is the lung/air-sack region....Thanks
