sarahli Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Hi All !! Hope everyone is well out there !! I have a few questions about my Koko : 1. I 've noticed that Koko stretches out his neck and opens his mouth really wide - almost like a yawning type action - could it be air or pressure in his ear holes ?? Does your Grey do this ?? Should I be concerned ? 2. How long does it take for them to settle at night to sleep ? When i cover Koko he seems to like to walk and climb around his entire cage (it's annoying :blink: ) and it goes on for about 10-15 minutes. Thanks EVERYONE !!!

casper Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Hi sarahli, You will find that most greys will yawn, mine certainly do anyway so if he is well in his self and the ears look clean, no discharge, scratching or feathers missing round the ears I dont think you have anything to worry about. My greys take about the same time as yours to settle. They all climb around their cages and one of them always scratches the bottom which is normal as well. Caroline.

judygram Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 My grey does the yawning too, like Caroline said it is normal. Josey settles down fairly quickly after she is covered at night but they are all individuals so some might take a bit, just ignore it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ina Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 My Charlie does exactly the same, they are just yawning. Some greys take longer than others to settle down at night because they dont really want to be in the cage but eventually they do settle down.

BaxtersMom Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Mine does it as well. The neck will go up and the beak is open. I have noticed that when he is trying to learn new words or sounds he does this too. When mine yawns, he stretches his wings, opens his beak and goes "Awwwwwwwww" like a real person yawning:laugh: Sounds just like me:laugh: I put Baxter in his cage about 30 minutes before lights out. He eats for a few minutes then walks around and settles in. After eating it usually takes him about the same time as yours, 10 to 15 minutes. Sounds like you have a normal grey;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
