Ferduno Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Hi there Me and my partner have had our Grey almost 2 weeks now. It is about 20 weeks old. It loves grapes, seeds inside the husks and brocolli so far. We have mixture that apparently it was weened on. It makes a ready break/porridge type of consistency. I make it with a small drop of water in the micro so that its a little warm. It seems to go mental for this. Is this becuase its very excited or is it agressions and it seems to start to be shouting at me. This can continue for 20 mins or so. I want to make sure that its not agression as this should stop now surely when its young otherwise it will think he is the boss. What are your thoughts guys.

lovemyGreys Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Be carful when you warm formula up in the microwave as you tend to get hotspots,be sure to test the temperature before feeding.At 20 weeks your grey really should be fully weaned,how many feeds are you giving a day ? I have included a link on handfeeding for you to have a read through... http://www.greyforums.net/forums/the-nursery/73409-handfeeding-a-baby-grey.html If you pop in to the bird food room there are many threads full of information.Your baby is not showing aggression he is probably getting excited by the noise of the microwave & associates that with his feed.

Trustdace Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 My grey kind of displays a similar behavior when I will feed it seeds. I think it is more excitement than agression towards a food item it really relishes.B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M2MM Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 At 20 weeks old, there's no chance that the behaviour is aggression, it must be excitement and anticipation of being fed. I use the microwave to warm food all the time, but I also mix it thoroughly being heat-testing it on the inside of my forearm. If you can barely feel it, then it's "just right." (Like the way you see people test baby bottle contents in movies.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
