Sure, I cook for my dog and whatever meat he gets the birds have some, they just ate some pork....so spoiled. I get some info from you tube BirdTricks, I order their pellets the only pellets they will eat. They have some other good food their also.
I had never had an African Grey they are my dream bird. It sounds like you are doing the very best you can for your Nyla and saved her from a bad place!! Having birds can certainly be a challenge but they are so worth it. Sounds like she is bonding with you and with all your family she will get a lot of attention. You're going to be a great parent....Best of luck to you and give Nyla a hug for me. Blessings
All birds are lovely and it's a great blessing for me and my kids that we got to meet Nyla. I can't express in words how innocent and loving she is. Thank you, and I'll surely hug her on your behalf.I had never had an African Grey they are my dream bird.

Hi, you have a lovely bird and thanks to give her a loving home. Regarding pellets: on this forum it is considered as "must" mainly suggested by USA bird lovers but on other parts of the world pellets are not always considered as ONLY good type of food(especially not all pellets are good quality). Yes, so many sunflower seeds are not good but you can give her many other type of seeds AND lots of veggies, fruits, wild flowers, "weeds"..etc to keep her healthy. For sure only seed diet is not good either.
Be sure to check online , some of the plants, flowers can be toxic, though,.Tried to check what grows in your area, african marigold is safe for sure , clovers, hibiscus flowers, geranium,Pomegranate fruit. Tulips for example- not safe. Do your research please
Boiled eggs (with the shell, but crunched up well with a fork, scrambled eggs, ideally without oil (use water), chicken, etc. Yes beans have protein but they are not ideal for parrots. The lentils are fine. Mix with some grains (buckwheat, barley, etc). Go look at the Diet forum and birdy bread and chop for ideas.
You can order TOPS for half the price and get the exact same product. But of course one supports "small business" and one supports "big business ".
Thanks, though had to give my CBC back to the breeder she had gotten really hormonal and had bitten on the lips several times, and my hands. It has been so emotional for me and have cried so many tears. The breeder put her with a male Crimson Bellied Conure and they are joined at the hip. She is a great breeder in Dallas, I live in Tyler, TX (2 hrs away) has told me welcome to take both birds back. Have been so torn not sure how she would react, biting me, etc of course no one does. She will give me a Bourke Parakeet which are super birds and mellow and quiet and cuddly. Have not had a bird since 1st week in March and have been so lonely living alone! Will either be taking my baby Seren and her BF back or the Bourke after Mother's Day.
Thank you
