Hello, I am brand a new owner of a 4 year old grey. I had a 28 year old grey and she passed 3 years ago. We just adopted this beautiful grey “chachi” yesterday.

So here is my question he came with his cage, But I bought him toys and he seems scared of them. The previous owner had no toys, so I don’t think that he has ever played with them. He also had his beaked trimmed because it was so long. He has been checked by my avian vet and he is very healthy, but I don’t think that he knows how to keep his beak up. He doesn’t seem to bite/chew on anything. From the looks of his perches there is no sign that he has chewed anything. I know the whole process is going to take a while; I just don’t want him to be frightened of these brightly colored objects that now hang in his cage.

Also one more question, I was reading a grey book and it mentioned the “blanket game” Is this something I should try with Chachi? I thought this would be a good bonding game to play.

Any advice?

Thanks!
