I might try something different with it during the week. thanks

Here it is

Lol its not even scary looking. ill post a pic now ina min

He will but give him time and don't rush him. He's been in a cage for nearly ten years. he doesnt know any different and is very afraid of whats out there. so if he does comes out on his own make it a good experience for him and don't frightening him so then next time he wont be afraid to come out again. maybe you could leave his favorite treats or toys hanging outside near the cage to encourage him to come out. make sure your on your own in the room with him because he might be too nervous to come out with to many people around. Best of luck

no not all the time only when you are there to watch him then when you are going away close it again

You will have to try build trust with this little guy so that eventually you will be able to hold him and put him back in the cage. It will take alot of time and Patience as it is all new to the poor fella

i think i would just open the door and leave it open and let him come out when he is ready. i wouldnt make him come out as he is obviously not comfortable with this. it might take him a few days but he will come out eventually. also i would let him go back in himself. doing that with the towel will be very frightening and he wont want to come out if he knows this is what will happen....

George Is usually never afraid of new toys. I can come home with a new toy hang it in the cage and 2 mins later he will be playing with it. Well the other day i decided to make him a toy and he is terrified of it. Just goes to show im not very talented Lol Oh well it comes in handy to leave on important paper work so he wont go near it!

my grey can rip up and destroy important invoices better than yours :L

Oh and has anyone found that these cd's even work?

I hope she is found safe and well

I voted too

I really hope you get the help here to gain the confidence to let Koko out and also that he gains trust and confidence not to be frightened to come out. I really cant imagine a grey or any bird being in a cage for that long. They should have about 4 hours out of cage time a day.Best of luck to the two of you

George is learning new words now all the time and i was wondering has anyone here ever used the feathered Phonics cd's? I bought one on 24 parrot and received it on the post today but im not sure how long you would leave the cd on repeat on the phase you want to teach him... I dont what to over do it. I thought maybe for ten minutes twice a day?

great link thank you jayd

yeah if you go with the amazon i would also love to know how you get on as this is definitely my next bird but not to sure how George (CAG) wud react

lovely pics

that was a close call thank god you were inside at the time... i really hope you have better look with your new one

this could be just a phase hopefully
