ubecrew610 Posted July 1, 2007 Author Share Posted July 1, 2007 What address? thanks for the help! I just dont want to have to move her around. It really freaks her out, so i was hoping to find someone to do a house call. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talon Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 Does she not like the car? A lot of greys really enjoy the ride!:silly: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trina Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 My girlfriend, told me when I handle my bird I should gently let her get used to an emery board. Gently passing in over the sharp part of his beak and a feet. I have tried it and you have to do it often but saves on the nail cutting dramas later....

Guest Lidia Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Joshua lets me file his nails with an emery board. It took a while to get it so it became a quick job, but now he holds his feet out for me to do it and it takes a few seconds. I've never liked clipping since a vet clipped too much about ten years ago and he bled for AGES. Scared me stupid. Anyway, if your grey has a high place to perch on, you can stand under him and encourage him to give you a foot and try the emery board on his nails. It's easiest to take his foot from behind rather than in front (can be bitten that way if he gets bored). It's worth persevering with because when the bird becomes used to it, it is FREE, it is easy and it is painless and stress-free for all parties concerned.

judygram Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Are you having trouble getting your grey into a travel cage, Ubecrew610? I have not had that trouble and mine goes into it and she knows she is going somewhere, I take her to work occasionally. You need to try to get her used to it, make it fun, offer her a treat or something she likes real well. Don't use it only for vet visits, she will associate it with that and will not want to go in.

Thanks AAAhhhh I hide my links under the words, not always very clever when those words don't show up in a different color. Anyway the address I gave you is hidden under the word 'this' in my previous posting. click on it twice and it will bring you to an address you can take your birdie to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talon Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Ubecrew6 10 Like Judy says, get very excited when you put her in a travel cage, and give lots of praise. She will start to realize it's okay. Talon willingly goes into her travel cage, because she now knows after only once or twice that she gets to go out. She loves the car, so its easy for us.

judygram Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 They need to know that the vet is not the only place they get to go to when they get into the cage, you don't want only bad experiences with the travel cage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
