judygram Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Hello Redfactor and welcome to our family. You have a beautiful baby grey, Rosie is adorable and those dark baby eyes get me every time. She has a pretty array of red feathers there but they may or may not stay as sometimes they molt them out, in any case she is gorgeous to behold.

Redfactor Posted December 31, 2016 Author Share Posted December 31, 2016 I am just curious about her losing here red feathers if that's the case why would a breeder sell her as a redfactor I have read up about redfactor I know that they start at $5000. and up but they are mostly all red don't get me wrong it really won't make a difference but I paid twice the money for her and again it's not even the money issue what would bother me would be that I was not told that from the start I still would of purchased her to me being honest is very important your opinions would be appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acappella Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Happy New Year to you and Rosie. A good breeder would know about the red feathers molting out. It was, sad to say, most likely a money grab. The red feathers May stay. We just want to prepare you for if they don't. Your baby is gorgeous, red feathers or not. Enjoy your baby days. Did you do a DNA test? Do you know for sure that she is a she? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the breeder had it done I have all her vet papers I also had a vet check her out and red feathers or not she will always be my Rosie I will have a talk with the breeder I am curious what he will have to say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 The red feathers may or may not molt out but like you said, you will always love her no matter what. They do make an interesting pattern on her lower chest, usually they are random. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Dorian also came with his DNA papers. I got them when I adopted him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redfactor Posted January 3, 2017 Author Share Posted January 3, 2017 I hope I can get some advice my Rosie is flying off her perch and straight to my arm and then right up to my shoulders having a hard time trying to get her off of my shoulders and neck it hurts big time her nails and beck she gives me a hard time help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acappella Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 You have to stop her from climbing up to your shoulder. I had to do this when Dorian first started perching on my arm. I'd move him to my hand and then hold my hand higher than my elbow. It goes against their instinct to climb down, so she'll be likely to stay perched on your hand. Give her lots of praise and a treat or two so she associates being held this way with positive things. Some birds can't be trusted on shoulders. We can't see them there so we can't read their body language and see when they're likely to bite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inara Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Happy New Year to you and your Rosie. Love her little red petticoat! Like many gals, she may become fickle and decide that her red petticoat is no longer fashionable and will trade it in for a new outfit, or she may decide it will be her signature style feature forever. Either way she is a beauty, and it's apparent that you already love her to pieces. If her talons are a bit too sharp and are scratching through your clothing pricking your skin or begin to get caught in your clothing's threads, find an avian veterinarian or a groomer or her breeder and ask to have just the wee tips of her talons buffed down a bit. Take care to ask that they not take them down too short as this can adversely affect her ability to balance and hang on to perches -- talons are there for a reason and many a bird has taken many a tumble from talons taken down too short. My gal will let me use an emery board on the tips of hers, and that does the trick. Also, a "grooming" perch that is made for that purpose can be helpful. Inara uses hers, but occasionally she still needs a light buff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
