Awwww...Fynn's a sweet boy. As Huey would say "want play toy, watch tv". They don't always grow out of the sweet affections. GreycieMae has always been a super sweety when she's not on Santa's naughty list. I'm also managing to turn Huey around. Apparently he was in the kitchen yesterday repeating all the sweet things I tell him plus he's been asking to come sit with me lately. He's always hated scary mean men.

GreycieMae is ready for the severe cold weather and she's also not butt hurt over a 50 year old song 🤣 Interesting note: I posted this photo under the caption "Baby it's cold outside" on the FB group 'African Grey Parrot Club' and was swiftly silenced and the post removed. Prior to that some guy commented that I was being cruel and I swiftly told him he was an expletive moron since GreycieMae loves to have wrestle matches either in this very hat or a blanket. She loves being wrapped in it and play peek-a-boos. So I thought either my little entanglement with this idiot or the caption got me booted. It turns out I ran afowl of their rule against posting photos of birds in clothes. Bwaaahaahaahaahaa

Being they are so young they will likely get along at some point. Putting them in the same cage that small is a risk. Greys need their space at times. I always recommend a second Grey if you can accomodate one. Greys get along or at least the playing field is level with one of their own kind. I hope your taking measures against losing your birdy when out in the yard. I get so tired of reading the lost bird posts on FB that I just skip right over them.

Hi JoJo. I've never used the Mediterranean Bread by TOPS. But I did notice it has a very similar ingredient list that matches Harrison's High Potency pellet. In that case I would not make it a mainstay food unless your bird is under-weight. My suggestion would be to give it to your bird 2-times per week. Whatever they'll eat, it's not about the amount but he frequency. That's something I would feed to an under-weight bird frequently.

Another Grey 🤣 I couldn't trust my GreycieMae with any of our other birds. She's just to big and can easily hurt them. Enter Huey, a strapping male African Grey and he put her in her rightful place! She tried to bully him but learned real quick it was no contest.

At nearly 2 years old chances are Larry would not befriend a cockatiel unless you are very lucky. If Larry acts like a normal Grey and decides that bullying the cockatiel is fun and easy to do, you will have to be ever vigilant and one small accident can severely injure the cockatiel. I keep my birds in similar sized groups: greys together, my Viking mid-size ruffians together and my lils together. Even with my lils, my conure likes to bully the cockatiel but there is no size difference so he can hold his own.

GreycieMae puffs up and gives me her best rendition of a back-alley thug when it's time to put her to bed. She's had the same routine for 7+ years now.

As it should be! Happy Hatch Day Corky. Every household need s a Diva.

That last pic: "someone is gonna pay when I get out of dis". Ollie, I can't wait to see pics when you are all better and kicking some tail with that leg of yours.

I remember using this skin last year. Forgot all about it.

Smart lil one! I would try that with my Greycie girl but I don't want the container destroyed.

He's a handsome boy.

Poor baby 😥

He is of the age where they do go through a stage. It's like having a little teenager that has partially lost their mind. My girl got really bitey and stubborn around that age. She has settled down but still has her moments (a lot). She's 7 years old.

They can certainly be little circus acts. I have one that's an attention hound. She does stuff just get ohs and ahs from the royal court.

Glad Ollie isn't going to lose the foot or his life! We've had some close calls here too involving doors. Can never be too careful.

She's a healthy looking beautiful girl!

Not sure we have any baby experts here any longer. Our longtime goto was Dave007 and he's most likely feeding babies on the other side of the rainbow bridge. Keep checking back here just in case but AvianAvenue might have some help too. Babies need quick answers. Facebook has some good resources too.

Glad to see you're back. All these long running threads have stopped as many of the members have left. I think someone was inquiring about this thread just the other day. Regaring the breast cancer, how did you catch it so early? Regular exam? I need to get my wife in there to do hers...

Oh gosh. Our conure went to battle with our Jardines and ended up with a nice hole through her beak in that exact spot. It worried me when it first happened but never phased her and it grew right out after a few months.

They're like the living dead. They just keep coming. The crap they spout makes absolutely no sense. I can't fathom why some idiot out there creates these.

Ahhh...sweet happy boy! Tell him Huey says Hi! The look so similar.

Good job to Schooner for training his new hoomans right. That video you posted is mating behavior and many will tell you not to encourage that. Our Huey gets hot and horny with my wife the same way. He will eventually up-chuck and try to feed her but when he starts to get low and try to mate, we find something else to do like go sit on his perch or maybe a couple laps around the living room (we've found this stops it immediately). After seeing that video, I don't think you're going to have any problems with Schooner, he's definitely in love with whomever is in that video.

Awww...a fuzzy girl in her jammies. Definitely tell us more about her.

Woohoo! I won't miss it of its gone!
