Momo

hi bhristopher, yes patient and thick skin gonna change him besure what i know he is lack of confident because of his wing clip.its so brutal,he dsnt even have 1 mm of wing.when he jump(yesterday)he almost roll over and he is VERY upset. is it any medicine can grow feather faster??

thanks again for the reply!!

haha yesss i knew it is not true momo always out and i found him more vocal when he is out.he can kill me 6 hours non-stop for whistling,screaming,chattering,and making a weird sound.interesting. thanks everybody for the quick reply!!

hi everybody, yesterday i went to birdshop to buy some pellets n seed for momo. there is a guy working there and he said: 'if you want your grey to talk alot,u musnt make him out of cage too much.it will make him enjoy to explore and playing instead of pick up new vocab' so what u think about this statement that he give me? its not important for me if momo talks or not since i still let him out 10 hours everyday,but just want to make sure if this is true??.:confused:

hi katana, hope that big day wil come soon, thanks,i will post as soon as i can win his heart

hi katana glad to hear somebody ever been in my position,today i just sitting playing computer next to him and he sleep beside me on top of cage.sooo cute to see him really comfort with his one leg posture. he come back himself to his cage as soon i say,''momo dinner time come back to your home honey'' and he come back.he never frustated me to catch him to come back,what a lovely bird. well,i really love this bird and i hope he will learn soon how my love is for him. thanks again for your support.

hello thanks for the help and support,i will give him more time and respect what he feels about me now. hope the day will come soon,wish me luck!!!! thanks everybody,i will post soon if i get a better progress

hi, yes i will give him more time,maybe i push him so far he spent his 9 months with another family,they dont want him anymore and put him in rescue.his wing is brutally clip and very short(maybe thats why he feel really unsecure )thats how i meet him and i dont know any of his background so maybe it would be difficult to tame him if 'something bad' ever happened before to him. until now he come out of his cage without any problem and come back to cage himself for dinner and go to bed.honestly i dont know the best way to approach him without freaking him out. and how long ussualy is take to make bird really bond with us? his name is momo and he is wonderful bird,thankssss for the help!!

thanks for the reply,u give me a hope. i just want to know how exactly i should try to touch him?? should i approach him from front,back or above his head because maybe im doing something wrong that freak him out. and is it true i should put him under my shoulder level to make him less defend himself?or i should take a ladder to make me taller than him when he sitting on top of cage? sorry for too much asking,im still new to grey and he is my first parent rised parrot so he's not tamed at all. thankssss again!!!

hi everybody, i have congo grey 11 months old.i had him just for 2 months now. i face some problem and please help me,(sorry for my bad english) he settle down well,he will take treat from me or everybody but only IF he really likes the treat. mostly he will ignore the food if its new or look scary for him,no matter if i eat it in front of him and i make really tasty sound and expression.he really easy bored with the favorite food too.this is really makes me slow to train him because i cant reward him easily.what i have to do? this few days i tried to touch him.he wouldn't scream but he always try to bite.is it any trick to make him not too scared of hand??i try to reach his beak(everybody said i should try to touch his beak first) but his fast movement to bite me makes me difficult to reach the beak.i dont show any fear but still..he will not stop doing it. i can come really close to him but as soon as he see my hand moving near him,he will be scared.i know im really new to him and he dsnt trust me completly but maybe there is any idea to make him trust my hand more? maybe somebody ever faced this problem before?? thanks everybody,really apreciate for the reply:)

hello, thanks,all of u give me best advice! i will learn more n more,n when my baby arrive home i will post the pic soon!! thanks everybody:cool:
