retronut Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 hey everyone! yesterday i got my grey! welcome Vincent! there he is on my sofa in my profile pic! thanks to everyone who has offered me help and support during my short time on this site! on my way home i brought loads of fruit and veg. is it ok to give him them straight from the fridge? he has a seed and pellet mix. i mix a small amount of seed mix with the pellets. i think thats best, some confirmation would ease my concerns tho. he eats a bit of fresh food, i thinks its new to him. he likes brocoli and grapes so far! should i soak the seeds? how? silly question but i don't want to assume. should i mix the soaked seed with the pellets? vince is a hand reared baby. it took me 3 trys to get him in the cage. understandable as things were new and scary. he's been in the cage for around 28 hours now. when shall i let him out? he seems to want a bit of love but i don't want problems getting him back in! what were your '1st time out' experiences like? i'm sure i'll have more questions over the coming weeks/months so thanks for reading this and for any tips and info any of you give. me and vince thank you <br><br>Post edited by: retronut, at: 2008/10/16 22:33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovemyGreys Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Congrats on Vincent Fruit & Veg straight from the fridge are fine.Some greys like raw veggies others prefer them cooked & served warm or even mashed a little.It's just a case of trying different ways of serving them to see what Vincent likes If he can crack the seed there's no need to soak it.Id keep the pellet separate from the seed but you can mix the two if you choose. If you have a look through the many posts in the bird food room you will find some helpful threads on feeding etc.. We have the Nursery room which is filled with info on baby greys, pop in & have a read through . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EFGriffith Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Congratulations, you two! I'm still too new to the game to have any good advice for you, I only brought my CAG home a little over a week ago. The beginning phase of the relationship is awesome, if not trying... Darn beak! But it's been so worth it =) Hope your experiences are rewarding as well; I'm sure they will be! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Congratulations retronut!! If you haven't already let your Grey out of the cage, it's fine to do so. Just take you time with Vincent and let him come to you if he seems a little stand offish. It may take a little while for him to get used to his new home and flock. Looking forward to hearing an update on how it's going and seeing some photos of him. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luvparrots Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 I'm so happy for you!!! and jealous... Please tell all about Vincent and how you introduced him to your home. I don't get my baby tag until mid-November and have no first-hand knowledge so your new experience with Vincent will also be an adventure for me. Congratulations!!!

she Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I am so glad for you. Now the fun begins. I would say let him out for a bit and see how things go. Just take it at his pace.I only give Charlie seed as a treat but I should say either seperate or with pellets is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaxtersMom Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Congradulations! Can't wait to hear all the exciting things are going to start happening! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyric Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 How exciting! I think you should let Vincent out right away. He is probably used to being out of his cage for cuddling every day and will be missing his old home and old people- give him some love and let him know that things at his new home may be different but he'll be getting love and attention none-the-less.
