Hello Acappella, Thanks, No I cant get hold of anymore info, Ive tried but they just email back saying, no one knows? No not even sure if hes a he, I do know his previous owner was male and Im female, not sure if thats got anything to do with it? Ive read that female parrots prefer males and male parrots prefer females? No idea if he was ever bathed, but Im doing it every other day but only a few squirts and he like shakes it off, dont think he likes it. I read that that was the best place to put a cage. I do the talking to him every day, as I am at home working. When I let him out, its always when i dont have to go out n e where. So theres allways time for him to go back in. Thanks, you have been really helpful.

Hello, they are little white fluffy feathers yes, I saw him stick his head under his wing (armpit) and pluck one out. No grey feathers though. When he lifts his wings (both) there is a long line of bald patch, I casn try get a photo but not sure I will be able to get close enough. You guys have been great. Thank you. I will keep trying him with the mash and pellets of course, Ive read that they are best. And I only want the best for him. Sorry im not on during the day, I work long hours (from home) but dont get a lot of spare time. especially as its the summer holidays and my girls are at home

When he does this, somethimes his wings open as if hes going to fly, Thats when we saw the plucking bald patches under his wings

Its sunflower free seed. He came with it, Only a little bit left. Ive tried him on pellets and mash but he wont eat them. No no sprays. no smoke or cleaning products other than a hoover and a broom. He has about 6 hours, he comes out and goes back in when he wants, But the minute we get close hs ruffes up his feathers and swings left and right, I was told this is a warning to go away sign. The cage is in my lounge in a corner. The back of the cage and the left hand side is covered by a wall. He is not near a doorway or window.

Hello there, He has seed, fresh fruit and veggies, and water. Yes we cover his cage, he gets between 10-12 hours sleep we spray him every other day

Hello all, Thank you for the replies. Sorry its taken a while to reply, I lost the forum without bookmarking it lol He is doing ok, I have opened the door and he comes in and out on his own, My daughter scared him once and he flew across the room, but found his way back about an hour later lol My main concern is that hes been plucking his feathers out What do I do?

Hello all, I'm new to the forum, I have a 6 year old african grey parrot which I have adopted as his owner has been in an accident, He is fantastic. He whistles, sings, and makes kisses noises. He will eat out of my hand through the bars of his cage and out of my hand if I open the door. I want to open the cage the cage to let him out but as he doesnt know me very well I think Id have trouble getting him back in his cage. Ive only had him since Saturday so its still all new to me. He wont let me put my arm in to climb on he just bites me. So ive not tried again. (that was today) Any advice woud be great.
