Greywings Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Keep offering a variety and let him see you eating and enjoying some of those same foods. Make those Umm yummy sounds while eating or pretending to eat them. They are sight feeders so will eat what ever he is used to seeing as food he will have to learn what new foods are safe by watching you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgiesmum Posted December 16, 2009 Author Share Posted December 16, 2009 Ok I will try that thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 I agree, keep offering all varieties of foods and vary how they are prepared, cooked, raw and offer them in different shapes and sizes, sometimes they will eat a certain food one way so it may take experimentation to find that out but do keep offering for sometimes they will ignore it for a while then "bam" they eat it.

JillyBeanz Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Yip - the others are (obviously) bang on - Harvey might eat sweet potato one day until it's coming out of his ears - and the next he'll not touch it! I have the "sunflower seed problem" with him - I just keep reducing the amount and he sharp eats something else!! Don't fret too much x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danmcq Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Georgie is a beautiful baby grey. He is also seemingly fearless with an exploratory personality. It is wonderful to see him just getting right in to the new home, cage and furnishings. Thanks for sharing all these photos. :-) Karma! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veenyx Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 I also have a baby Grey who will sit on the bottom of the cage and scratch to be let out. I've raised him from and egg, and this behavior started when he was about 6 weeks old. At first, we thought it was adorable so we gave him lots of attention for it. Now, at 12 weeks, we have realized that he is just trying to get our attention so he can be let out. Whenever he begins this behavior we leave the room and it stops immediately. If we are unable to leave the room, we make a big show out of ignoring him. It seems to be working as the behavior is occurring less and less. Hope this helps!

judygram Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Amy you are doing the right thing to ignore the scratching behavior for it is an attention thing and since Cher is doing it less and less means its working, way to go Amy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgiesmum Posted December 17, 2009 Author Share Posted December 17, 2009 I put the grid above the sand paper so he couldn't do It anymore and now when the grid isn't there he only does It the very odd time I just didn't like to see him so frustrated. He's also found a new food he likes... Brussels sprouts (Sumone made a balls of the cabbage!):laugh: :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvparrots Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Glad the ignoring helps with the scratching! Way to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgiesmum Posted December 21, 2009 Author Share Posted December 21, 2009 Hi everyone, Just another quick question... I have a towel in the end of the cage incase Georgie falls from the top of the cage and when he's going to sleep in the night time he sleeps on the towel lying down on his side all snuggled up. It's the cutest thing iv'e ever seen, but i didn't know birds do this so i was wondering does anyone else's bird do this and is it a baby thing maybe???<br><br>Post edited by: zzzelama, at: 2009/12/21 13:24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Congratulations on Georgie being home! Yes, babies will lay down and sleep as you describe. Adults will also do this if they have a place they are comfortable doing so and feel safe. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
