I was at my local bird store, and one of the employee's told me that for greys theres a "perfect size" cage that they MUST have in order to be happy anything bigger or smaller they will be stressed. Seems weird to me, as I've always been told as big as you can afford. It's making me wonder if my cage is too big and causing my bird to pluck?? His cage is roughly 4 feet by 3 feet and about 5 feet tall. Is that too big?!?!?

he's a picky eater, i can't get him to eat many veggies. he just likes apples. he just throws everything else. Is there a trick to getting him to eat them i'm missing? lol I feed him the fruitblend & veggieblend by zupreme. He loves it. Is the harrisons really that much better? I'd hate to try it and him not eat it since its so expensive.

So, I rescued a congo. Long story short: He's roughly four years old (all original paper work is lost) and we are his FOURTH home. When we took him home he was plucked (everything but his head) He now has just the top of his wing feathers and feathers on his legs. It took about 6 months to get this far. We have full spectrum lighting, big cage lots of toys, play stands, the whole nine yards. I was wondering if anyone had any more suggestions?! I feel so bad for this little guy!
