kitt4kaz Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 (edited) Here's my 4-month-old Timneh Grey named Felix. I am excited to join here so that I can learn all that I can to care for him properly. He is a lot of fun and is very entertaining. He is a wonderful addition to our family.

kitt4kaz Posted November 6, 2012 Author Share Posted November 6, 2012 Thanks everyone! We've had Felix since he was 9 weeks old. Yes, I was one of those that got a Grey too early from the breeder. She said he was "fully weaned." Surprisingly, he was eating pellets really well but he was still such a baby! He still gets one formula feed at night before bedtime now at 20 weeks and I will continue it until he refuses. He weighs about 300g now. Is he likely to get any bigger? He is starting to whistle now and when he is alone, he is starting to try to talk. It sounds like a bunch of mumbling but he is trying! Here is a video from when he was about 14 weeks old. He only does this when he thinks he is alone. He is so funny! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRtGnMGpd6Q Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreyaRuRu Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 They are fun to listen to while they are trying to talk. I am lucky and mine tries to in front of me! I think we get an almost hello and a good morning proceeded with lots of whistling Maybe I am just hopeful.. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your bird is a TAG, the weight is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitt4kaz Posted November 6, 2012 Author Share Posted November 6, 2012 He is a TAG so average weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave007 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 He is a TAG so average weight. Generally, TAGs are between 295 to 315 gms. So, everything's good and as far as your question about getting heavier or bigger---I doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talon Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Welcome! What a beauty, I always have a soft spot for a tag, reminds me of Talon when she was a baby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katana600 Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 His video debut was adorable. I started leaving a voice activate recorder next to the cage because mine talked a lot more when I left the room. I think that is common as they are learning to speak and they practice when they think they are alone like Felix is doing. When you record him you can always go back and listen to earlier recordings because then you will recognize what he was saying when it wasn't quite clear. It will also give you an insight to how he learns and changes so quickly from being a baby to an outspoken family member. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
