I went on a 9 hour trip to pick up 2 greys from a gentlrman in georiga,we met at night ,I saw birds in a carryall----looked fine,now that im home with them I have a camera on the 2 birds.she sits in or near the nestbox,,the male eats and feeds her alittle during the day---she does sit by feed bowl at times but hardly touches anything--she waits on male to feed her.she is very thin ---I moved her inside by herself--it took her all day to touch her food --24 hours later she is eating more--4 or 5 times today.her dropings look normal,,the other bird is very husky<male>--the female had eggs when I went to pick them up but clear- he said that was 3 sets he had got all clear--the male will eat most anything and the hen eats hardly anything.i went and got yogurt---alo vera water--probiotics and a few other things to see it will help her pick up weight.in a week in there cage here I have seen the birds mate several times before I took her out.he is just not feeding her enough.i feed very little seed--a good pellet,all kinds of fruit and vegs .she will only eat seed as far as I can tell..`she is in great feather--she whistles and growls climbs upsidedown in cage.--should I put her back with male in this small cage or wait a month or so?i called a vet --none local for parrots within 76 miles each way and hes there 2 days a week .if she stops eating I will make the trip but she looks great she is just very thin in the chest.
