How can make healthy meals for Star and bathe him?

[greystar]

Star, is six months old and i have been introducing new fruits and vegtables and just watching what he loves and so on. My question is how can i nake sure he is getting health blanced meals at his age? However i do keep the seeds there, just in case if he gets hungery or i am not around,. How do i know he has got enough and is not hungry for more, since he keeps calling but i noticed that the calls and sometimes screams suddenly get lower but they are still there .

 

The second question is how do i bathe Star, and make it a enjoyable experience for him, and build a possitive behavior towards it?

 

I also want to know, when do greys normally begin to vocalize sounds around them? I have a male yellow dutch canary and whenever he starts chirping, Star listens carefully, he becomes so and quiet, does this mean that he is trying to pick up from my canary? should i keep them together in the same room?

 

I know i seem to be asking alot but i really wanna make Star happy, peaceful and loved

 

Thank to all of you

We have a wonderful bird food room on this forum that has lots of recipes for your bird to enjoy and that will give him all the vitamins and nutrition that he needs. I would leave your Canary in the same room with him he may pick up some of his vocalizations but they are also company for one another when your not home. Greys generally start talking around 12 months old some a little sooner some later and some not at all. just make sure you talk to him like you would if you where raising a child label everything he eats and stuff like that and I'm sure he will be talking before you know it.

There are lots of threads here about all kinds of things, showers/bathing, food recipes, etc. There is a Nursery Room, Bird Room, Homemade Toy and Playstand, just look in the Forums at the top of the page and you will find oodles of information to help you. I spent two months roaming these threads until I got my baby grey. The information here is invaluable.<br><br>Post edited by: luvparrots, at: 2009/08/03 08:35

Hi,

Some Greys enjoy bathing and others hate it! Its essential though and its just finding out which method Star will enjoy.

Here is an older post on bathing for you to read through.
