Never thought of the heart condition and the chest plucking. Hmmm Makes perfect sense to me. We are considering having her seen by the Avian Cardiologist. We are very lucky to have an avian vet and the cardiologist in our city along with a wonderful avian store , Odd since its not a big city outside of Cleveland Oh.

Ah yes my bad, Her name is Kaylee. She just got another bath. NOT HAPPY but no longer dusty. I like clean. I hope I can get a image to upload correctly as I am new. http://i1180.photobucket.com/albums/x404/AddABead/Facebook/Kaylee/269393_10200819493432265_1624968100_n.jpg http://i1180.photobucket.com/albums/x404/AddABead/Facebook/Kaylee/164219_10200824474676793_151065934_n.jpg http://i1180.photobucket.com/albums/x404/AddABead/Facebook/Kaylee/734092_10200819494872301_1088005221_n.jpg http://i1180.photobucket.com/albums/x404/AddABead/Facebook/Kaylee/45385_10200819494432290_2088192848_n.jpg

Hi, My brother is moving and gave us his 12 yr old Congo African Grey. I have bird experience with a Peach Fronted Conure and other small birds. Nothing like this though. I have always wanted an CAG She was not used to touching, but is letting us pet her head and allowing me to massage her neck to the skin. She barbers and plucks. Other then that she is great. She talks up a storm. We got her a larger cage right away when we moved her as to minimize and more trauma in the future. She wasn't used to water either. She has had 2 bathes and some spraying both of which went well and we put a heater by the cage to help drying. She was extremely dusty or had alot of dander. Not any more. She isn't used to real food at all and shuns it. Only will eat her mix and peanuts and occasionally a banana chip. We took her to the vet as she hasn't seen one is a while. Vet said her diet ( food she is on ) is very good. She weighs 420 grams but has arrhythmia in her heart. Zero outward signs though. We were told to just keep an eye on her for wobbling or flat out falling of the perch. Any tips on the barbers and plucks would be greatly appreciated. We do love her to pieces. Moni
