throwing food

[ccabel]

hi I'm new here my gray ic about 3 yrs old he has a bad habit of throwing his food can someone help

[Suzzique]

It is a totally normal behavior. All birds throw thier food.

Some parrots will fling food, others won't. It's kind of the luck of the draw. If you got a flinger then the only thing to do is buy a good vaccum.:laugh:

Its true they throw food..I have put perspect behind my birds cages attached to the wall, it saves the walls and its easy to wash down and also hygeneic.

thank you all for your info. Everything I read on grays in the wild I thought throwing his food was normal but gets upsetting sometimes.I thought of putting something up at the corner by his food bowl like plexi glass. What do you all think. Plus is there a web site that tells you what type of wood or trees can be used for a perch. thanks again Chris & Harley

Hi!Ricco has latetly started throwing his food and water also .He likes to play with the water when it splashes.It is a bit difficult because I have to clean his cage more than once.I have a fealing though that this bad habit will go and come depending on his mood .Just be patient,after all he will do what he wants.

Putting up plexi glass is a good idea. I've been meaning to do the same thing with my finch cages.

I have thought about putting up some plexiglass pieces on the walls behind the cage, I keep having to wash off the walls:lol: :whistle:
