liefie1 Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Hi all!! I am yvette and live in nigeria (from south africa ) I found myself buying a new baby grey (about6weeks old) on sunday after driving past a street market and seeing the poor baby laying in a big dirty cage!! He was very neglected and they were feeding him raw beans of all things i got into a argument with the guy and told him he is crazy feeding him the beans he tought this was very funny and simply told me if i wana feed him that i should buy him!! And ofcourse i did. so now found myself the owner of a lovley new baby grey. I still need some help with this cause i never had a grey baby under 3 months old. and ya thats it from me!!!Many thanks to everyone who was so friendly and helpfull!!! {Feel-good-000200A2} THis is him on sunday when i got him <br><br>Post edited by: liefie1, at: 2008/10/01 21:45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

judygram Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Hello Yvette and welcome to the family, so glad you could join us and we look forward to hearing more about you and this little fella. He looks a bit rough from the picture you provided but from what you have told us of the conditions he was living in no wonder. You have probably saved this little guy's life. We do have a nursery room where you will find threads that should help you with the feeding and care of a very young grey baby and we have several members who are very knowledgeable in these matters. 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. Try to get us another picture, a clearer one if you can manage it, will give us a better look at him, but it looks like you will need to find an avian vet even if you have to travel a distance. This baby depends on you for its survival and I know you would not want anything to happen to it if you can help it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
