Hi! I'm new to this forum and just thought I should introduce myself! Among the other animals in the household, my little zoo contains one male CAG, Loki, and one male U2, Nemo. Loki is 4 years this Saturday and Nemo is 7 years old. I've had Loki his whole life. He enjoys bossing everyone...

Hello Again, Since my last post, I have been working hard with Zelda (my CAG) to build up trust between us and also to build up her confidence. For the most part, I think it's going well. I have had her for approximately 11 weeks now. I have been working with her every day, with target...

Hi all, Just as a backstory I have 3 conures and a Hahns Macaw. The 3 conures get along beautifully and spend several hours out together everyday, with my interaction some of the time but mostly exploring with one another. They are housed separately however, too worried about moving them in...

Hi, I have an african grey that I adopted last year. The owner did not know where the african grey was bred. However, there was a leg band reading 7HH96V. The owner said that he was 18 or 8yrs old. I just need help decoding the band; 7HH96V. Any ideas where it was bred and how old it is...

Grady, a Timneh African Grey, has had a foot problem for over a month. It started about two weeks before I brought him home, and I have had him for just over a month. I have been trying to get help for him. My local avian vet (who is over an hour away), cannot figure out the issue. I am...

Hey all, I hope someone can shed some light on Yoda, my CAG. He is 14 years old and I have had him since he was just a baby and hand fed him myself. He has always been a sweet sociable little guy and has lots of play time, toys, and things to keep him busy throughout the day. He also has a...

I found an African Grey parrot outside in some trees in Shenzhen, China almost a year ago. It has a leg band, which apparently they do not do in China. And she (I think it's a she) said "hello" in English. I assume she was brought in by a foreign family and either escaped or was abandoned...

I have been trying to get my CAG pairs to breed successfully for the past 6 years. I have done my homework on how to acquire birds, set up cages, diet, environment(privacy) etc.. and set them up. I have followed the initial how to's from Mrs. Jean Pattison's blogs especially to get the pairs...

Finally got Bella to accept her new perch. Even though the perch was in plane sight for weeks she would freak when I mounted it inside her cage. I had a brain storm idea and I mounted the perch on the far side (left) of the cage way down low where I knew she would not set. After a week in...

Hi, I have an African Grey & I want to hang a couple of ropes from one wall to another so he has some new places to play and walk about up high. My question is what type of rope can I use & what thickness should it be to support him walking on it comfortably? Thanks for any help!

We have made the very difficult decision to rehome our Congo African Grey. The main reason being health issues. My husband's asthma has been progressively getting worse. He spent 5 nights in the hospital in February and he still was having symptoms when he came home. He has been to an allergist...

Hello everyone. This is my first post here, so please excuse me if I ask stupid questions, I got my African Grey 3 days ago and I am overly excited :). There are some things that got me worried already. So some introduction. I am a software engineer from Bulgaria and I was dreaming of having an...

Hello all! My husband and I have had an African Grey named Marley for 5 years but he is about 20. He's an incredible bird. Loves to chat. He came from a home that had teenage boys so he has a wide variety of burps . Recently, we are facing three problems. One being that my husband has always...

Hi. I really would love to purchase an African Grey Parrot. My friends mom is looking to rehome hers and I have been interested in birds for years. The only problem is that I have a 7 year old domestic black cat that is semi-aggresive and I don't know if i can have a bird with him around. He...

Mushka likes to share her toys, whether I want them or not.

Hi everyone just saying hello, I am Al and I have an african Grey my first parrot . I am hoping to get some insight and learn how to be the best parrot owner I can be to ensure my pet is well taken care of. Java is about 16 Weeks old and Im trying to get him to eat his pellets and food and he...

Hi, thanks for any help in advance. My Congo African Grey has never liked women and never liked my mum, he has always fluffed up his feathers when she goes into the room. She talks to him daily but has never been able to feed him without getting bitten. He has slowly become more aggressive...

Hi! I am looking to get an African Grey Congo baby/young for myself. Looking to find a reputable person/breeder to obtain my bird without paying a ridiculous price. I feel like most of the listings and responses I have seen or gotten are scams. Any info/help will be much appreciated I am...

Hello!!! We've been long-time lurkers of this forum. Without it, we wouldn't be the parrot parents (what a tongue twister) that we are today! African grey Bella, Meyers parrot Lemon, and Happy the green cheek conure are our pride and joy. It would mean a lot to us if you could visit and...

Hi, I have an African Grey parrot and his upper and lower beak are significantly misaligned (lower does not sit inside upper), He is able to eat & climb around on his cage without issue or any apparent pain. I have seen him align his beak correctly while grinding the 2 halves together in the...

Hello all! I'm not new to birds in general as I've had a pineapple GCC and currently have a sun conure. I rehomed a CAG in May. I was contacted by the owners because they'd heard through the grapevine that I had other birds and did well with them. I didn't want another project to be honest, and...

Ok guys, so sorry to keep posting but this will be the last question filled post for a while I promise! So, we have made the decision to bring home the little baby Timneh African Grey, his name is Oliver. My wife and I have been like 50 times over the last few months and so it is anything but...

So I'm back again.. I STILL have not made a conclusive, definite decision.. But I am getting close. Here is where I am at. The same breeder I am talking with has just taken in 3 adorable little baby Timneh African Greys. Of course she told me, and of course I went and met them, and of course I...

I'm wondering if it's normal for greys to pluck a large number of down feathers in one preening session? My grey is 6 years old and there are always little fluffy down feathers around but last night she pulled out a huge amount of them. She has a perch in the shower that I occasionally put her...

I am looking for some African grey breeders in California. I have found a few that I have gotten touch with but am looking for others because they have turned out to be false breeders. Does anyone have any babies as of now? Very interested.

Hi! I am a full time Vet Tech student in Orange County CA and I am also a Pet Trainer at PetSmart.

Introduction

Hello! I have been doing research for the past few months on various types of Parrots and I'm having trouble deciding which one I'd like to buy. I originally wanted an Eclectus, but I ruled that out after finding other species that I liked more. Then I considered an Amazon Parrot. I was the...

Hi everyone, recently purchased an adorable baby cag ,Sora, from a breeder that I often purchased my gccs from. We were told Sora hatched 3-3-15. When we first got him he was eating some sprouts just fine but a friend at my usual bird shop told me that he was still too young and needed...

Hi everyone :) I'm Lynda from South Wales UK. I live with my partner, Jess and our African Grey parrot, Jerri. We are Jerri's third set of owners and have had 'him' for about four years. (I say 'him' as we were led to believe that it was a boy when we got him but last year, at an estimated age...

Hey! So I'm bringing home a baby congo african grey this summer, and I really want a cargo net that he and my other monsters can climb and play on. I have two conures and a cockatiel, as well as three budgies (but I don't see the budgies using this). I really like to make things myself when...

So I decided to start my first chop. Even though I was working for one parrot, shopping, washing, chopping, cooking, draining, bagging, freezing, washing it took me from 11:00 am to 5 pm. With interruptions from kids and phone calls and lunch. I didn't have as much variety as some of the...
