judygram Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Just give him your time and attention, they need some time every day outside the cage, talk to him and include him in on activities around the house. Put the cage in the room where the family spends most of their time when awake so he will feel a part of the "flock". He will talk when he is ready and a few greys will not talk at all so be prepared in case you have one that decides not to speak, just love him for the unique beauty and awesome creature he is. I would take him back in to see the vet for a yearly checkup unless he is sick in which case take him immediately. It sounds like you need to read thru the threads here for loads of useful information that will be most helpful to you and your new grey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birdnut Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Don't worry, Tony. Your new baby may still be a little shy in his new home, and that may be why he hasn't said any of the words he may already know. Our grey did not really start talking until he was a year old. I think that is pretty typical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray P Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 My grey Corky never said her first word untill she was two years old and know she won`t stop. Remember she is in a new home new people new cage so you need to give her time to relax and see what is going on. Don`t rush her talk to her in a calum voice. She has only been with you for 3 days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bear Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Good luck with your new baby! don't worry about him not talking..my birds are the same when a new person comes to our house, so Im sure him being in a new place will be the reason. Give him a few weeks and he will open up I'm sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

judygram Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Tony thats exactly what they do, you can say something to them hundreds of times wanting them to repeat it and they may never do so but say something else once and you hear it repeated over and over, they definitely have a mind of their own and say what they want to say. See we told you to be patient and you will be rewarded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
