Hi all, There is a wealth of information here but I find my head spinning trying to put it together to tailor a good food plan for my baby so I had an idea and would appreciate it if everyone could participate ))) Could you please post your Greys daily food plan as in what you feed, how much, and why particular things like what are those things good for (calcium? vitamin a? etc? This is my plan at the moment and I am a newbie with my 1st Grey: Morning: Hand full of pellet (NutriBird P15), half hand full of high quality mixed seed, few monkey nuts. Afternoon: If more pellet is needed I provide it, a piece of fruit and veg. Evening: Check pellet, fresh veg, carrot, red bell pepper, hot green pepper but this changes everyday as I try my baby with new varieties of veg. And fresh water always obviously. Anyway suggestions advise much welcomed )))

H Pyroe87 Thanks for the reply, its nice even to hear how your doing with the feeding too as any advise is great. This is what I have been doing so far: (had him for 2 weeks) Morning: fresh pellet along with seed mix and yes its a high quality but full of sunflower seeds so will be changing that hopefully. Afternoon/evening: Fresh fruit and veg every day but I try to not feed too much citrus as I read too much is not good. I guess I am may be giving fruit too often? With regards to veggies: My CAF would not touch anything just apple when I got him. He wouldnt go near veggies so I mashed them, mixed in a little apple, even tried baby food but no way he just wouldnt go near them so I watched how he handles his seeds/pellets and realised he likes to hold them and if he gets soft food on his mouth. Sooo that meant he probably would prefer the veg holdable, I cut them into 2 cm wide long strips and left them raw. First I gave him the carrot, he wouldnt go for it so to be honest I held it up to his mouth saying nice happy things like ooo niiice and out of frustration he bit it to move it away but... he got the taste!!! woopy he then wanted to taste again and picked it up!!! I now got him eating red bell pepper, carrot, mango, pear, apple. I am working on green veg because thats he least favourite. I hope this helps. I dont know if theres any fault in my feeding plan so far but trying lke you to find out and find the right feeding plan. I give him monkey nuts all the time by the way but he mostly cracks it for fun and eats very lttle of it. Just gotta get rid of the sunflower seeds and just use them t train him I guess. Let me know how you do with the veggies, try my suggestion because its slowly working for me. And the baby food idea HAS to be organic and also make sure theres no veg in the baby food thats bad for birds if you try that method. )))

Hi all, I am not a new bird owner but I am a first time CAF owner. I was advised by the lady I bought my grey from to feed my 6 month old, Nutribird and a seed mix. I am also feeding fruit (mango, apple, pear) veg (red bell pepper, carrot) he wont eat anything else I have tried so far. My question is how much should I be feeding him of the pellets and seed mix and fresh food? I have been guessing so far :-S Also I was given 'monkey nuts' to give him but then I read that peanuts are not good? Is this true? Also the seed mix has a lot of black sunflower seeds, are they good? he loves them. Thanks all in advance. )
