jessdecutie18 Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 So Yoshi has been off of formula for a week now, and I believe has been just fine. Eating her own food, and tasting pretty much anything we put in front of her. This afternoon though I went to pet Yoshi and she did the 'duck, touch fingers, and jerk head up and down' thing she did when she was hand-feeding from a spoon. She has done this randomly a couple times, but today was persistent... soon after my husband and I were preparing dinner, so as a treat I put an apple slice and a couple pieces of pasta on the counter and she joined us in the preparing, tearing apart that and hopping over to grab cooked chicken and mushroom from where we were preparing 'human dinner' She had a great time... We ate dinner and watched a bit of TV with Yoshi on her play stand, then upstairs into our computer room with Yoshi chilling with us on top of her cage. I go to pet her and she still does the hungry begging thing, if that's what that is? Maybe she is just getting over hand feeding, maybe she is just being a baby begging and I shouldn't feel worried, but I need some advice on this. I don't want Yoshi to be deprived! Later on, before bed, she was totally normal again, flapping her wings and nibbling on her toy before giving goodnight kisses to me and Mike, and lights out. So at least I don't feel she went to bed hungry or anything like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codys Mom Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 not sure on the handfeeding because Rudy is 19 weeks old and she is still on 2 handfeedings, one in the morning and one at night she just loves her formula I guess,as long as she wants it I don't mind I don't suggest u feed Yoshi any more mushrooms though I have heard and read that mushrooms are fungus and should not be fed to parrots, I came close on feeding them to my Eclectus once but I did a little research before hand and that is what I found so no mushrooms for theese guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JillyBeanz Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Harvey will grab my finnger and do the motions and he is 9 months old (we brought him home fully weaned). I just remove my finger from his beak. Don't feed Yoshi mushrooms though - they are a fungus and quite harmful to greys x<br><br>Post edited by: JillyBeanz, at: 2009/09/22 08:10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessdecutie18 Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 Alright no mushroom for Yoshi! I don't think she ate any luckily, just tore apart some of one... Yoshi was doing to same thing this morning... but I'm glad to hear Harvey also does this and he is older than my Yoshi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvparrots Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Ana Grey is over a year old and always has pellets and dried vegetables in her cage. She occasionally will still bob her head when she sees me coming with breakfast. There she sits on the rim of her food bowl awaiting when she hears me coming with her breakfast bobbing away. Kind of cute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
