Thank you all, you all have very nice CAGs too i really love this bird. So now the bath issue is solved, that's wonderful i am so happy that he is liking it. well I live in Amman, Jordan (middle East Region) till now i cant find the Aloe Vera Juice, i am wondering if i can bath Zooz with alternative solution? For the new food still he is throwing everything away other than sunflower seeds i think it needs time, or what do u think? Also for fruits i will keep trying to give him that everyday, hope he will accept it. Other question please. how much time does he need to sleep i mean how many hours? and what is the best way for me to provide a comfortable healthy sleeping environment? i think this needs to be care off for its importance. Thanks in advance regards,

Thank you Karunk well right now i am mixing sunflower seeds with with other healthy food. I can say he is eating some and dropping the rest down. I think he will get used to it soon I hope so. I tried today to give him fruits Pears but he keeps cutting a part of it from my hand and drop it down immediately, i dont know why. I did serve it right away from the fridge which means its cold. do i have to serve it after leaving it a while outside the fridge? For bathing i put the cage outside and sprayed a warm water on him i think he liked that for that he keeps coming on to the side i am praying to and lifting up his wings. are these good signs meaning he is liking it? thanks in advance Regards,

Thank you all for the feedback, i am really happy knowing that you like my Zooz. luvparrots thanks for your effort in replying. Yes i found it on the Internet and will try to order it for that it says for USA & Canada ONLY. I will try to find the juice locally and will come back to you with the update. i will come to you all with new pictures and questions so please bear it with me, also i will subscribe to monthly magazine if you know a good one please let me know. Regards,

i dont know why they all came the same but i am trying again please find more below

I am trying to post the images hope this will work now

Dear All Thank you so much for the information you have provided it was really helpful and i really appreciate it. As a new bird owner please allow me to ask more question as I spend time with my smart Zooz CAG. to tell you the truth i started to have a bond which i hope will be strong one with Zooz. I think he likes me a lot, every time i slide my hand in his cage he lower his head under my hand to rub him and he do this nice noise. i managed to get some pictures of Zooz you can find them below please let me get your feed back on them. For the food i did mix the seeds with the Tropmix i got which include the following: - Fruits: papaya, pineapple, banana, coconut, raisins - Nuts: Brazil nut, almond, walnut - Seeds: flaked corn, whole corn, milo, wheat, sunflower kernel, dehulled pumpkin seed - Vegetables: carrot, potato - Legumes: cooked soybean, cooked chickpea, cooked green split peas, peanut kernel - Others: Tropican sticks which contain 8 grains and nuts with vitamins and minerals He is eating a very small portion rarely now and i think he will manage to eat it by time. Concerning the bath issues i will try the spray method which i think its the most appropriate thing to do at this stage specially still i can get him out the Cage. Can i spray him with only water for that still i cant find Aloe Very Juice yet what i can find here in my region is Aloe Vera Oil. Again i wanted to thank you again for your help. Enjoy my pictures i think he is a pretty CAG right? Post edited by: SKCAG, at: 2009/09/12 20:04<br><br>Post edited by: SKCAG, at: 2009/09/12 20:11

Judygram Thank you for the information. I will go with your way to food i think its a useful method. Do I understand that you give bath to your parrot by spraying aloe vera juice? If yes no walmart here can i get this juice form any pharmacy? Anyway i will try to get such juice and will paste you its Ingredients. Thanks in advance Regards

Spinner For the pictures i will post some tomorrow i already working on it Thanks

Spinner Thank you so much for your prompt response i really appreciate it. You are right my top priority is food and i want to change his food but as i mentioned before when i change the food from the one he is eating right now (sunflower Seeds)he don’t know how to eat it for that he pick up the food try eating it then he leave it to fall apart. I think i have a quality brand of food you can see it in this link http://www.hagen.com/canada/english/birds/product.cfm?CAT=8&SUBCAT=809&PROD_ID=08806620010101 So how do I teach him to eat such food? for the bath issue still i can let him come out of his cage is there any alternative way to give him a bath in his cage? Thanks again for your response you have been helpful. Regards

Hi there I am a new bird owner, I have a Congo African Grey Parrot, and he is 3 years old. He is a sweet guy, so gentle like to feel his head, can say a lot of words and variety of animal sounds he loves to learn. I read a lot of parrots’ articles before getting Zooz. I understand what is it to have an African Grey, it’s a long term commitment and I am willing to take it. I think if u knows how to train Greys they will be very interactive pets and u will enjoy living with them. So I will do my best to learn and train Zooz and have it as a pet forever as they are true intelligent smart long living pets as far as I know. Well I have 3 main questions: * I want to introduce a different food (blend of fruits, nuts and legumes with Tropican) than I the one he is eating right now (sunflower Seeds). The issue here that he don’t know how to eat it for that he pick up the food try eating it then he leave it to fall apart. * I got him a vitamin powder which can be solved in a water or mixed with his soft food. Is it good to use such vitamin? * He keeps scratching himself is this normal? is it a habit? If not what should I do to avoid this? Can bath help? if yes How can I do it? Hope things will go better cuz I really liked this parrot and I want him to be in a excellent condition to stay with me healthy living a luxurious, happy and entertaining life. Thanks in advance
