Hello,

 

Before my CAG was ready to be purchased I spent two months doing research and making sure that my family and I were ready for this...especially me. I wish I had found this site sooner, but I am glad that I have found it now. So much information, knowledgeable people, and it seems friendly.

 

I bought my baby African grey two weeks ago at four weeks old. Everything is going great and today Loki is 6 weeks. The vet and bird shop owner told me not to introduce water until about 10 weeks, but to drip a couple drops into beak to prevent yeast infections. I am not sure how to go about introducing water to her. Any suggestions? Also, I would like to introduce food to her like corn kernel or peas...what should I give her? Is frozen vegetables in a tiny cup in the corner of her age okay? :confused:

 

I am in love with my CAG and I want to educate myself on her. If anyone has any helpful information to offer or advice or CAUTION don't do...would be greatly appreciated. I wish there was a book on what to expect when raising a baby African grey.

 

I am glad to be part of this forum and excited to learn more!

 

 

Thanks,

E

Welcome to our family. I don't have any baby bird experience, but I'd advise doing a lot of reading in The Nursery forum room, starting with all the stickys at the top. There's a ton of good information there.
