Hi, I am concern about some of the behaviors my 5 week old Congo African grey is showing and wanted to know is they are normal. #1 - I am concern about positions in which he falls asleep. Sometimes his head hangs all the way back and sometimes he lays completely flat on the wood shavings. Is this normal? It looks very uncomfortable. #2 Sometimes he lays with his head tilted back and eyes opened, following everything that happens around him with his eyes but not moving the head. Is this because they get tires of holding their head up at this age? #3 He also stretches the neck and gags making some gasping sounds when I put him in his nest box next to me. He stops when I pet him but if I stop he starts again. Is he doing this for attention? #4 - He seems to fall asleep a lot. Is this normal at this age or could this be a sign of weakness or illness? Do they sleep a lot at 5-6 weeks? #5 - He sometimes bites his toes and toenails. Is this OK or could it become a bad habit? Thank you.
