Sarasota Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I don't know how old your new bird is...baby or adult? LOTS of things to chew. Boings are a favorite in my house. A good cage cleaner and disinfectant like AviClean. Extra bowls (you will need them, trust me!). Tons of paper towels and a good broom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sassy Posted August 13, 2012 Author Share Posted August 13, 2012 SHe is almost 18 weeks old. I have lots of toys and gathing shredables for her. I have lots of cleaner and disinfectant. I have 4 ceramic bowls that came with her cage. A hard chair mat under the cage to improve cleanup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timbersmom Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 It is so exciting isn't it? Remember though, that like people it isn't all the "stuff" that makes a happy bird, it is your love and positive interaction with her. So, just focus on enjoying her and loving her and all will be well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kins2321@yahoo.com Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Travel cage for the vet? As far as missing anything else... Nada! Don't be surprised if YOU are the best toy ever! Some greys love toys, others don't. YOU are ready! We are here for any questions. Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirstPenguin Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Carrier is a big one. Another thing you can do is go through your house looking for sources of PTFE. Go through all your cookware and see what's non stick. We've replaced all our cookware with cast iron or ceramic coated dishes. Any kitchen gadgets that plug in often have it. Toasters, hot plates, etc. If you have big windows it might be good to put up decals or something to make them more visible especially if your bird is flighted. You ever hear of puppy proofing, bird proofing is a whole new level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wingy Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Practice in the car with the Pac o bird. Its not easy getting the seat belt through the back loops without tilting it from side to side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
