grey

Hello everyone, I'm new here. My. name is Luan (m, 31), I live in Switzerland and a huge parrots lover. I've always been surrounded by parrots ever since I' was a Kid. My parents did't want for us to have a dog or a cat so they suggested a bird. I was lucky enough to live near a old neighbor...

Concerned my CAG has started plucking :( Advice please. My CAG Zelda is just over 2 years old. Always very happy and active. I make sure she has lots of out-of-cage time and plenty of interaction, and when she is in her cage she has a variety of toys for chewing and foraging. I also give...

Hey there, fellow parrot enthusiasts! I'm new to this forum, but I have a favor I would like to put out there. I have been wanting an African Grey as a companion pet for a few years, but I have been holding off on the idea because my work schedule doesn't allow me to provide the necessary time...

Hi, I am wanting to start breeding CAG birds sometime in the future and I am wanting to ideally buy 2 young birds and after afew years and they are old enough let them start breeding in my Avery. Just wondering at what age can I expect to see if the birds pair up? Like will they only start...

We are selling our custom built Cages by Design Parrot Cage. We had to find a new home for our Senegal and Pionus due to some health problems, so that is why we are selling it. I originally purchased it as a surprise for my wife and paid about $8000. I have all the original receipts still...

Hello. My name is Peggy Vucenik, and my husband and I have decided to open our home and hearts to a feathered child :) I am 42 and have never had children, but I have always wanted an African Grey so we decided to fill our need to nurture by purchasing one. I came to this forum in hopes to be...

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...

I'm located in a very rural area where we don't have bird stores. I've been looking online for months for a natural wood play gym for my rescue, Zoey. I can't find any other than from stores that are $300+. I'd really love to expand his ability to leave his cage and have more healthy climbing...

Hello and thanks in advance to everyone! I'll provide a summary first and detail after, since I'm long winded, and many may not have time to read everything: I can certainly take her to the vet at any time, but as I had a full workup done around 6 months ago, and understand these issues to be...

Hello! I am new to the forum and I was wondering if someone can help me in making a decision. I am so head-blown as to what to do here. It has been over 9 months and I am still undecided. But more time spent deciding and planning will help me make sure I provide my new baby with a good home. I...

Hi everyone! My family and I recently purchased a baby 2month old conure (JamRock) a month ago, yesterday we went into a bird store and fell in love with a 5 month old baby Congo Grey. My question is, how soon should I expose the birds to one another? And would the Grey eventually attack the...

My parrot has a specific way of thanking. Whenever i or someone else hands him a treat of some kind ( a fruit, biscuit etc. ) he makes a noise, like a cough, which he never uses the rest of the time. He makes that sound EVERY time , immediatly after he gets the treat ( but he makes a completely...

Hello all, I'm bringing home a CAG in a few weeks. It will be 12 or so weeks old then. I was just wondering the best way to get him/her adjusted to its cage and new surroundings. It's already been in a cage for a while now, so I'm not nervous about getting it comfortable with the cage, but I am...

Hello, I apologize in advance if there is a thread like this already, but I couldn't find it with a variety of search criteria. I'm trying to get the "right" bird for me. I've lived with a 33 year old sassy YNA for my whole life, and now I want my own bird. I'm leaning toward a Congo grey...

Hello, I am very heavily considering getting a parrot, and am pretty dead set on getting a Grey. I don't know much about these birds outside of what I have read over the past few months. So I have a few questions I hope you all can help me out with. -Differences between Congo and Timneh...

Hello, I am new to this forum and this is my first post, so bare with me. I am heavily considering getting a parrot and am wondering if there is anything obvious that I should consider/know before making a decision. I really like the personalities of Blue and Yellow Macaw's and Congo African...

Good day all, My girlfriend and I bought an African Grey one year ago. She started off a bit reluctant and quiet so we warmed up to her and then her personality began to show. The problem we face now is the fact she is extremely needy. We have another parrot as well who does just fine on their...

So I've finally seemed to have gained a little bit of Mickey's trust. He has gotten better with stepping up. He won't usually step up if he is inside of his cage but I respect that because that is his personal space and I want him to at least feel comfortable and secure in there if no place...

Hello everyone! I've had my African Grey since I was 12 years old, I'm now 26 and I'm hoping to move abroad for a while at the start of next year. I am really wanting to hear from other people who've taken parrots (preferably Greys) on aeroplanes before. I've heard that all Greys are nervous...

Edgar is now about 6 months old, he's doing amazingly well and I love him ^_^ he's mimicking whistles and clicks, and he loves to hang upside down and wrestle with my hands. I'm going to start harness training soon, he loves relaxing outside on our screened in porch, and I know he'll love...

I'm buying a CAG today and planned to set the cage up in my "animal room" which already has crested geckos, bearded dragons, mice and rats set up in there. My bearded dragon has to have a night bulb on to keep there enclosure warm during the night, I was just wondering if anyone knew if the red...

I'm new to the forum, but I've been lurking on here for months as I've researched and thought over which bird was right for me. Ultimately, because of my housing situation (an apartment) and just generally falling in love with them, I adopted a congo grey named Arya yesterday. She's my first...

Is a bag of mixed seed good for a stable diet for a CAG? (Mixed seed meaning- sunflower seeds in shell, peanuts in shell, dried peppers, dried banana slices, dried corn, and a few others) cheers.

I have never owned a bird before. Recently I have been searching for a small companion/pet and have seen a few local dogs needing rehomed and that sort of thing. I have always owned dogs. But there is a family that is moving out of state and has to give up their 3 year old female sweetheart...

How can I teach my CAG to let me hold his wings for trimming and maybe tickle his under wing? He still feels insecure when I stroke his back although he LOVES me. He knows how to wave, lets me scratch his head and loves to play touch with my finger. He won't get on my shoulders for some reason...
