Miagates Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 I am a new grey owner as of sunday(:. She is very sweet and shy so far. I m taking it slow of course, but I am still pretty new. I know they need stimulations so I bought her some cardboard chewing toys. The Lady who I bought it from warned me she could get aggressive from chewing because she might start nesting. Especially since it s spring, but I want to keep her occupied when i m away. I spend about 4-5 hours a day with my birds. Have you had a problem with nesting and chewing?

Luvparrots Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Hi Miagates. Welcome to the Grey family. How about a little more information about your grey. How old is a good start. Details please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miagates Posted March 6, 2015 Author Share Posted March 6, 2015 Hi Miagates. Welcome to the Grey family. How about a little more information about your grey. How old is a good start. Details please. She is 12 and has been with two families. She is very good about stepping up, but is still slowly adjusting to petting. Thanks(: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greywings Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 They often chew on twigs and branches in the wild it is a very natural behavior and chewing alone will not cause nesty behavior. Providing a dark box area might encourage that train of thought. All of our flock enjoy deconstructing cardboard, pinecones and paperback novels.

reptoman Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 How do you offer a paperback book typically? Does anyone ever drill a hole and hang one from a stainless chain or rope? We have many old paperbacks that could be used as shredding toys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
