Well Trafford has been with us now for just over 4 days and he is settling in well, he has started to chat a lot more and feel at ease here with us, I get a ”good morning Trafford” in the morning and he also has been saying ”See you in a bit” he Cough’s and Bark’s and also shouts what sounds like ”Stephen!’ and has even done a smoke alarm which I was warned about by his last owners.
He loves his palm oil on toast in the mornings and also his bowl of fresh fruit and veg which he clears every morning.I have also started to mix pellets in with his seed and he is starting to eat them which is good.
He does a strange thing in the evening where he licks the cage bar for about half an hour sometimes longer not quite sure why he does it?
All in all he has settled in really well and loves looking out of our window watching the world go by!
We let him out tonight as he seemed so settled, he came out on his own no problem and Rick went over to see if he would step up on to his hand but don’t think he was quiet ready for that, so we just let him sit out and enjoy some time out of his cage.
hi there how u doing it because I have just had a african grey I save it from someone because he was so sad the man was and the parrot started to pluick himself and I dont no what to do, I talk to him all day and he just keeps trying to bite me?
Hi Tracy
Thanks for the comment, what do you know about his background? What is his diet like and do you know how old he is? If this is not known it is very hard to know what he has been through and he might be trying to bite you as he has been mistreated and very scared, for plucking he needs lots of help and a good diet change and also lots of things changed, feel free to email me at paula@africangreyparrotcentre.co.uk so we can chat more about him and how to help him.
Thanks
Paula
