What's your baby's name?This is Smokey, my new (to me) 8 month old Grey. He is getting to know me still. I have had him less than a week.

Looks great, but you might want to remove the cuddle hut. Birds have chewed it then strangled themselves in it. Supervise the boing (rope spiral), if he swallows it, it can cause impaction. A good solution id to get a sisal boing.

legged Alexandrine and he hates feathers I think he wants fur!!! LOL StanLee is a rescue- who came to me almost naked- He starts to get nice feathers and a few days later he plucks them until he is only skin and beak... I have3 tried everything! Special diet- Extra vitamins- Feather spray- Begging him! and Prayers. Oh and he refuses to take a bath! I spray him - well above him to make a shower and he runs! I tried the bathtub and the kitchen sink. Im thinking about a collar- Anyone ever heard of them?? kinda like the collar of shame they put on dogs except they are made for birds...I am attaching a picture of one- I saw the hard plastic ones but they scare me! they look painful and mean.
Ok - I got a chicken
Beautiful bird your Smokey.
I wouldnt bother trying except I just found out that his plucking only started about 6 months ago when he was taken in from animal control- He was taken from previous owner who slapped him to the ground amongst other abuses- fed him only people junk food. And he was put into a tiny cage and not fed every day but left for days without food. He began plucking then. Well he wouldn't let and still wont let a male near him- It's taken me a few weeks to get him to a loving sweet bird. SO- I am praying I can get him to stop or at least slow down. Can you believe he had no idea what a bath was? Terrified of water or spray ! Poor baby! I can only imagine the horror he lived with - BUT now as my friend says- He is living his Best life!
Here is Howie, 7 y/o Mealy Amazon. I really love him, itβs like having a little green person in my house. Very quiet. Very calm. And you all know how intelligent parrots are!

A short article on cuddle huts:
The Most Dangerous Parrot Cage Accessory
Parrot tents (happy huts) have been responsible for more avian injuries and deaths than any other product type sold. They are, without a doubt, the single most...
And one on the dangers of fabric:
The dangers of cotton and fabric toys to birds
Cotton is a material that we commonly use in our daily lives - from the fabric of the clothes we wear to the bed linens that we sleep on every night. As bird owners, we can easily find cotton perches, cotton bird toys, cotton hammocks and furry sleeping huts for our birds as well. But did you...parrotfunhouse.com
I don't want to worry you too much, I know this can be a lot to take in. Please feel free to ask any questions on this forum.
I'm so sorryThank you very much. I need all the help I can get!
I have not been on (on probably wonβt be on for a few days) my phone has been hacked by a guy that scammed me on a Grey a month ago. I turned him in on Facebook so now he has hacked my phone.
You would think taking my $1600 would be enough for him.
Iβll be back on when my phone is SAFE!
Peace and feathers
