share your stories and experience and caresheet

i'd start the ball rolling then.

came back today with two toys for my grey, and bugger was like dang scared of them. seeing the reaction of my grey 'checking out' these new stuff in its territory is quite entertaining.

he always does that with new toys. then will yaya papaya when he 'conquered' the toys already.

Can u show us some pic , please ?
Thank .

no prob! here's a few...

I don't have any now, but will have one in future. friend will pass hers to me few years later. guess need to learn from now. what you feeding ur grey?

great step! but how come got agreement for a few years later? that sounds cute haha.

greys, you can feed parrot mix, but not as a staple. the proper diet should also consist of cut fruits and vegetables as well...

hahah cos Chico now in canada my friend consider to move back about 5 yrs later. Chico is 10 yrs old now, my friend is 63 so she need to pass chico to me...

do u feed spouts and cook beans?

ooh okay. but shipping the bird back here, its gonna be really dangerous.

ummm nope, generally not sprouts and cooked beans. sprouts isn't really tested and proven, as for cooked beans, i don't feed also. but i do give then long beans. they normally take the beans in them, then play around with the rest. (give minimally tho, too much can lead to diarrhea)

but in oversea , thats their diet wor.

they make prouts and cooked beans for them. and fruits, necter n nuts. the beans i mention is those dry bean like kidney bean and so on. tomorrow see if i can get the list hehhee.. then i post it up

a simple search can actually get some results on what can be fed and what cannot be fed.

but personally i don't. cos sprouts, unless you're talking bout those organic super expensive type, i think don't feed ler. there's actually better alternatives here in msia, but sprouts, can feed ler, just don't feed taugeh! hehehe.

lol no no... of cos not taugeh.. yes i means all the seed n bean from organic shop to make sprouts i don't even only feed tou geh for my rodents.. how can feed that to chico hehe..

because not all seed n bean can be sprout. some is poisoning when its in sprout stage. those will need to be cooked.

this type of parrot very inteligent right???
can she talk?

how much u bought it...hehe

yupp. its a great talker.

among all parrots, greys have the greatest clarity in mimicking, but can be stubborn if asked to repeat after a person, unlike mynahs.

oh its a him btw.

how much is one?

very much depends.

CB ones are like from 2.5k onwards if i'm not wrong. wild caught ones are cheaper tho, but not really recommended.

ooh... mayb one day ill get it... i like birds... theyre fun to play with... especially if they can talk, and AG's are one of the best talkers... ut it scary thou to wake up in the middle of the ight and here it talking... haha!
