Thanks Dave for your help!

Yes she eats her treats and fruits veggies, not so fond of the birdie bread, she likes the boiled popcorn kernals, cooked and raw carrot, apple, cantaloupe, green beans, peas, corn, She seems to REALLY like the treat mix. Can anyone help me find a good nut or seed mix with no sun or safflower, peanuts with shells, and any other dangerous foods? what do you suggest?

I got her last weekend and she was weaned onto Zupreem Pellets and apple and some seed. Since I got her she hasn’t been eating her pellets at all as far as I can tell. I made her a few different things from recipes in the book “for the love of greys” by Bobbi Brinker Birdie bread, beans/grains/pasta/veggie mix, Boiled popcorn kernals, I give her other veggies and fruits as well, and nuts ie. Pine nuts and so on. But, She does not want her pellets at all! I even tried soaking them and nothing! I also have a conure from the same breeder and he IS eating everything INCLUDING the pellets. So I am not sure why my CAG isn’t. I am also trying to introduce a different pellet as the ones they have been given are colored and I don’t like that. Can anyone help me?

I wouldn't worry about the biting on only the 2nd day. As my new baby girl was just a lil nippy not anything serious though. She has never lashed out in or out if the cage but would kinda pinch my finger rather than just nibble a little bit. I am sure this was outta slight nervous fear of being in new surroundings and having new mama. Patience and soft talking is what i did and she is the sweetest most gentle lil baby girl now. I can kiss her, and pet her anytime. GOodluck and enjoy your new CAG as they are so wonderful and you will learn so much.

Hi I guess this is a little late being that I have already posted a new topic and had comments and stuff... I just got my new baby CAG and she was hatched Jan.20/09. Her name is Dalia..meaning Gentle. She is a real sweety and I love her so much.

Thanks to all who replied. I am now happy to know that she is ok and havin fun too. Thanks for all the help and ideas. Although I have other birdies this is my first GreyBaby and Im a BIG WORRY WART with a BIG HEART.

I am wanting comments on wether or not it is ok for My grey to play and shred TP rolls (empty ones) Thanks to you all! Cris
