Georgiesmum Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Hi everyone, I collected Georgie last night... He Is looking fantastic :kiss: He perched on my shoulder the whole journey home (an hour and a half) lol He was shy when we put him into his new cage but sarted exploring anyway. Ate a few seeds and had a drink.We left him to sleep then. He Is still a bit nervous this morning and wants to be on my shoulder all the time. :laugh: At the moment he Is sitting here with me at the computer trying to eat everything from the phone to the speakers :laugh: I think he's fav food are grapes at the moment So over all things are going great at the moment so hopefully will stay like that <br><br>Post edited by: zzzelama, at: 2009/12/09 11:18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JillyBeanz Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 That's great news - can't wait to see some photos of him. This time is such a precious time and the baby stage is over far too quickly. The only thing I would say is that next time you take him out in the car you should really have had him in a carrier - a sudden fright can send him flapping around the car and can cause the driver to lose concentration etc Can't wait to see some photographs - I love babies!!

Joolesgreyuk Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 I wouldn't worry at all about this, as long as it doesn't continue too long. He is probably still getting used to his surroundings, he will eat when he is hungry. He is a little darling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgiesmum Posted December 9, 2009 Author Share Posted December 9, 2009 He's after eating little bits here and there throughout the day so Im not to worried now. I'll just make sure to keep an eye on him He loves been out of his cage an keeps flying back onto my shoulder even when I take him off:laugh: which means Ive got nothing done today lol He's asleep now In his cage so I have some time to myself. Owning a grey Is even more wonderful than I ever imagined It would be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joolesgreyuk Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Yes it is, make the most of it as they soon become less dependant and their personalities develop but that is just another terrific stage to look forward to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luvparrots Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Delma, what lovely pictures of your sweet baby Georgie. Can't wait to hear more about him and how he settles in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 George is a cutie pie, thanks for sharing some pictures with us. Greys are foragers, they eat all day long so be sure to provide some food for him all the time so he can snack on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgiesmum Posted December 10, 2009 Author Share Posted December 10, 2009 Another question for all of ye... Georgie does this scraping thing at the bottom of his cage. I think It's when he wants to come out. He puts his head in a corner at the bottom of the cage and then moves his legs really fast back and forth. He Is out of his cage nearly all of the time so it is not that he needs to be let out.. It's not nice to watch so i take him back out but i dont want to do this everytime or he'll make a habit of doing this. advice please :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JillyBeanz Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 The scraping thing is entirely normal - it's been discussed a million times why they do this - whether it's forraging as they do in the wild or as little attention seekers - I favour the attention seeking. Harvey doesn't go to the bottom of his cage ever - and uses his food bowl to scrape around manically - he wants to be out. Leave him - you are right you don't want to get into the habit of getting him out - he'll think that's how he gets his own way every time. Don't worry about it though - it's totally normal Glad to hear Gorgie's settling in x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Congratulations on bring your new baby grey home. The photos are GreYt and he's a fine looking baby Grey. The mental image of you and he spending quality "PC" time is a dear one. It sounds like he has taken quickly to the new home and parront. He is doing eberything a baby grey does. Looking forward to more photos and updates. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgiesmum Posted December 11, 2009 Author Share Posted December 11, 2009 Georgie Is eating a little more today than he did yesterday so Im happy with that We went to visit my nan today so I bought him a carrier for going In the car... Its for cats but it does the job just fine... A towel and a few grapes In It and he was happy out He's had a couple of crash landings over the last 2 days so Im nervous when he goes to fly and i try catch him if it looks like it going to end badly. He hasnt been hurt but Its scary to watch. Also when he's In the cage he climbs up and down the bars and falls to the bottom alot and it makes me want to take him out but he's out so much that i want to get him used to a few hours in the cage for when im not home.. but i dont want him to break his feathers and all... Any ideas??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
she Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Place a blanket under the papers at the base of the cage to cushion any falls.Maybe lower the perches untill he is more agile.It is normal for greys to have a few crash landings when getting the hang of flying skills.<br><br>Post edited by: she, at: 2009/12/10 20:17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvparrots Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 My Ana Grey does the clawing at the cage bottom also. It is when she wants out. She is out most of the time so I let you out if I want or ignore it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgiesmum Posted December 11, 2009 Author Share Posted December 11, 2009 I was so happy when i called to my boyfriends house last night. He said he wanted to give me one of my Christmas presents early. I couldn't understand why but when I saw It I knew why It was a gorgeous new cage with a lovely playtop for Georgie!!! I was delighted!!! And so was Georgie!!! We are going to bring his other cage over there and bring the new one home so he can sleep over In my boyfriends when ever I am Id say he got It in fear that If I couldn't bring Georgie to stay that he would never see me :laugh: Maybe he was right I put a towel at the end of his cage as adviced and he sleep on the towel all night. Aww he looked so cute Post edited by: zzzelama, at: 2009/12/11 10:11<br><br>Post edited by: zzzelama, at: 2009/12/11 12:15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvparrots Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Congrats on the Christmas present Delma and on the wonderful boyfriend. He certainly is a keeper and a very smart one at that!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katana600 Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Delma, I am so happy for you and Georgie and your boyfriend to be getting along so well together. The first couple weeks are a little scary with wondering if you are doing enough of the right things, but Georgie will settle in and you will learn what he wants and how to keep him happy. Congrats on your early Christmas present, your boyfriend is paying attention. Enjoy all your special moments getting to know your magnificent little friend.

Georgiesmum Posted December 16, 2009 Author Share Posted December 16, 2009 Hi all, Just a quick question... Iv'e been offering Georgie all sorts of foods... Potatoes, carrots, oranges, apples, pineapple, tomato, cheese, lettuce, cabbage, strawberries, rusks, sweetcorn, brown bread, raisins, peanuts etc... but all he will eat is the sunflower seeds out of his seed mix and grapes. I know he Is young but why Is he not eating well? and should I be worried? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
