Hi All thank you som much all the reply! Its really awesome to know there are people that care! I will post picture as soon as I can. My desktop Pc is down so using my black berry! Today is our 4th day together! Ziggy still loves my shoulder. Can my fellow parrot friends advise me! I have noticed Ziggy eats a lot is this normal?? Her food is mixed seed and fruit as well as vegetables like carrots. Also how can I get her off my shoulder safe? She just fly off and lands on any thing close. Then when I approach she gets excited and fly back onto my shoulder! What techniques can I use? Thanks guys Pictures will follow soon

Hi Ray P Thank you for your reply! As soon as I learn to upload photo of Ziggy I will. My guess she is about 5-6 months old there are no rings around her eyes. They are all one colour slightly grey but also black. I am Ziggy first owner I have only had her for about 48 hrs. She does not bite at all while on my shoulder or does she when I take her off! The good thing about Ziggy is she is not afraid of me I say this because when she fly off and lands on tables ect! She always looks to fly back to my shoulder. When we practice step up! She put one foot up then flaps her wings once or twice and onto my shoulder she goes! I also know she was only just fully weaned! She makes a lot of baby sounds not parrot like? When I come near her cages she gets excited. Ziggy eats a lot wow I tho ught only human kids eat that much! Glad she is eating well! How long should she stay on my shoulder for?

Hi all I am new to the african grey family! Ziggy joined our family on thursday! after settling down in her new cage and home. I decided to let her out on friday afternoon! All Ziggy wants to do is sit on my shoulder! If I take her off she just fly back on! When I place her on the play gym! So that we can practice step up! No she takes off onto the shoulder! Please any advise to a new DAD would be great! Is sitting on your shoulder a bad thing??
