I love this forum. I'm glad I found it.

Just curious how much one on one time do you spend with your grey everyday?

Casey is his name

It's my pleasure. I love a challenge. If not for challenges I wouldn't be where I am today. What you get out of something is what you put in to it, so I know hard work pays off.

ok he's back in. I thought he was going to take flight. I forgot I took his food bowl out to put a water bath in. I was hoping he would take a bath. He has a lot of dandruff. I continue to open the cage door and feed him bananas so I'm hoping each time is a little closer to better trust.

ok he's out of his cage...

I'll leave his cage open and see what happens

He's eating Banana from my hand, I guess that's good.

What happens if I leave his door open and he comes out but doesn't want to go back in?

I have a cockatiel, parakeet, 2 four month old sun conures, 2 dogs and a cat. He will have plenty of company.

His name is Casey.

I don't think Casey has ever had a bath. When he preens himself he has a bunch of dandruff fly. How do I introduce water to him?

A week ago I get a call from a friend who's mother inlaw has an 18 year old congo grey that she can no longer take care of and asks if I wanted him, I said yes. I went to pick him up and the lady reached out her hand and he stepped up on it then she handed him to me and he stepped up on me. Now he's at my home and it's a new ball game and I knew it would be. I took a 18 year old out of the home he has been in all his life and he's scared. Now I have the task of trying to gain his trust and I believe it's going to be a long road. I work from home so I moved my desk by his cage so I am by him at least 6 hours a day in my family den. I figured the more interaction the better. I have started to change his diet from a mixed food he was on to a diet of that food, harrison's pellets, and fresh fruit and veggies. So far so good with the food. Any advice on getting this beautiful bird to bond with me would be great. It's like having a Christmas present you can touch LOL. I look forward to talking with y'all.

Hello, my name is Louie. I'm a photographer who hasn't recently fell head over heels for birds. I purchased to be sun conures about a month ago. One week after that I rescues a parakeet and a cockatiel. Then a week ago I get a call from a friend who's mother inlaw has an 18 year old congo grey that she can no longer take care of and asks if I wanted him, I said yes. I went to pick him up and the lady reached out her hand and he stepped up on it then she handed him to me and he stepped up on me. Now he's at my home and it's a new ball game and I knew it would be.
