Abernathy Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Hi Ccable and Harley! Welcome aboard! All of my birds enjoy tossing their food around. Morgan (my tag) especially, he's made a game of it. Our dog Buster has taken up permanent residence next to Morgans cage. Morgan thinks it's great fun to toss his left-overs out for Buster. Since all of my birds do this, I just keep a dust pan and broom next to their cages. Only our stairs are carpeted, and hard wood and wide pine floors are easy to sweep. Sorry I'm not much help. Good luck with your food tossing though, maybe someone will have some pointers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Hello Ccabel and welcome to the family, so glad you have decided to join us and we look forward to hearing more about you and Harley. Most birds and that includes greys love to throw their food and especially if they have an audience or they get a reaction out of you when they do it. That is the key here, they may not stop it entirely, birds are wasteful creatures but they are going to continue to do what gives them attention. The best advice is to ignore it and accept the fact that birds are gonna be messy. Please read thru the many threads for lots of useful information and do not hesitate to ask any and all questions you may have and we will help you in any way we can. We would love to see some pictures of Harley if you have some you would share with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Welcome Ccable and Harley!!! Throwing food is something Greys do. :-) Looking forward to hearing more from you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyric Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Hello Ccabel and welcome to the forum. As the others have already said, food being thrown is just one of the great perks of living with birds. Try not to pay any attention because you don't want to encourage the behavior- they love drama.
