hi guys... as i learnt that grey is one of the most shy bird, easy to spook and those things, is it already in them or can we actually train them from baby, bring them up in crowded and busy environtment and handled by different people? will it work? in pet store, there is 8 almost weaned grey, 1 of them(the smallest among all) already saying hallo and very very fearless, explore everything, but the feahter was not really good. the rest are very big in size but a little fearful to new human can grey baby be trian to be not fearfull

omg how come the post repeat so many time?

hi...thanks every one...amazon is more well known as performer here in my area. gray known as much more timid and will not talkin front of people. well, i have already try to make a to do list on bringing the baby up(even it is not confirm that i am getting one. there is alot of plucker gray that is soon be advertised in to be sold or up for adoption. the number really scares me(even there is no excact number) let me tell you my plan, and do give commend ya... im putting my gray cage by the window.bottom half of the cage is cover by the wall and the top is exposed to the outside world. the bird will be able to see the roads, tree, and birds outside. and hide if the wind becomes too strong... the routine will be liek the rest of the fids. i will be out of the house at 6.30, will wake up at 5, on the light and open the cages door and do some execise myself. then while cooling down i prepare the food for my fids. then bath and leave. come back at about 7-8 pm. i will bath, and let the fid to do warm up. and start the flight training. the traingin last for about 15 min each bird and shorter depend on the concentration level at that time( i dont push them to train, i make it a game that all of them are so eager to do) after training, they will be flying around. watching tv with me or do house work or go to play my badminton with me. i hand my cloth, mop and sweep the floor with them clinging on me.(bird usually are scred of stick pointing or swinging around them. as they do house work with me, they will undestand that stick, more to big stick are not dangerous. going out with me make them used to the busy environtment) from what i see, bird are very happy doing tricks and amuse the owner or anybody. i think they have to be atleast tought a shake hand trick. trick can make parrot happy.like whe they are bad mood, i just show them i have some food and after they shake hand, they will get a generous portion of the rewards. i notice, after that, their mood will be better. another thing, when meeting new ppl, i usually entice my parort to do shake hand with stranger and his aproach to the stranger is really gentle. i'm sorry,i think you get it wrong. or may be you miss understood(i have a bad command of english as it is not my first language) i follow my schedule and method i mentioned above. my fid have been known for their steadiness and fearlessness by friends and hobist here. but because gray is the biggest im going to handle so far(and the smartest ever i think) i take every precautions to eliminate -ve posibility as much as possible. do give me comment on the method and schedule please. i know it is not perfact, i will look forward for improvement and sugestion by flock here...thanks alot alot alot

guys...this problem have been bugging me since i read and was told that gray have ALOT of down powder? and i dont like dusty feeling on the floor or table. isit true? it become a concern when i want to get 1(gray) i keep thinkin, how much is much(powder)? is it really alot? how to minimised it? i know one of the solution is to bath the bird often, but, most gray hate bathing i guess...another problem, how to get them like bathing any suggestions please

hi all dear friend here... im not really new about parrot. i have confidance in training small to medium parrot. so far, i did teach indoor and outdoor flight training and tricks to medium and small bird... amazed by the inteligent of grey, now im saving hard for 1. but im a little discourage by the rumors(maybe fact) going round saying gray are very demanding and very very prone to feahter plucking. other than that, they are very shy and timid. is there anyway to train them to be more outgoing. well,i tried some traingin method on cockatiel. it successfully make the tiel not scared of anything. even busy traffic.. how ever, im told that the techniqu cant be used on african bird as they are timid by nature... im very confuse weather to get 1 or not what do you think guys...thanks alot for the advises...
