Thank you both for that information, and I will definitley try that out Dave. Boo has been getting more confident as of late. He now will put one foot on your finger when you ask him to. I think he really wants to try to get up, but is fearful. The floor is a great idea that I didn't even think of. I have been trying to coax him up from his perch, or when he is on top of his cage playing. I will give the floor a try. Guess taking him to a vet would be a good idea too, duh on me for that one. LOL

Good afternoon, I am a new Grey owner. I am his 3rd owner, that we know of. Long story short of how I got Boo is my sister in law passed away in August, and my husband and I inherited Boo. He/she/it (lol) was a very distressed bird when we first got him. Almost competely naked from plucking and malnutrition, we have got him on the road to recovery now, but the most distressing thing about him is that he does not have any nails, only one on his right back toe. Its so sad. He gets around the cage just fine, and frequently is out and ontop of his cage playing, and even flying sometimes, but we are pretty sure he will NEVER be able to sit on our fingers, or shoulders, because he can not balance when off his perch. My big question is, with better nutrition, and the fact that he is now "happy", will his nails ever grow back possibly? And what could have caused this to happen to him? I will try to post a pic of his feet as soon as I can, but because we are still getting used to one another, he doesn't let me to close, especially with a camera. Thank you all for any information you can give me. Jodie
