@Gypsy @JLcribber sorry for late reply, I didn't think it was necessary to say it in the older post and I was also busy on something but since you want the answer, I'll be very honest; We had this plumb head a long while back and since we keep chickens and doves outside in the aviary and also for some sunshine and fresh air we kept the canaries and budgies cages hung up outside about 4 metres high in a warm but shady place often where we could watch them from our windows. We have been doing this for 3 years and kept an eye every time we went outside and monitored in case of anything, one day when we kept our plumb head outside as well, and this pretty darn hungry stray cat happened to climb a pole and somehow jump really high onto the cage which fell and smashed, she ate up the plumb head. Evidence from the feathers on the floor and the cat there that afternoon, the plumb head could have flown away since its wings weren't clipped. We took that cat to a better place though.
Oh and also I posted an update on my older post but I'll re paste it:
News. I got my little grey 2 days ago, from a really good pet shop, we ended up getting a congo though which is funny! He is 4 months old almost finished with formula, eats handfuls of solid food and YES I did say formula, I was completely nervous on getting a baby grey on formula so I told the keeper I didn't want one on formula since its too tricky and he was like noooo you just need to follow the instructions and I was like but what if its too hot/too cold/ too thick/thin what if he gets crop burn? What if I have to feed him every 4 hours or so? I sure as hell didn't want him to be on formula because I have had little experience.
Turns out this formula is a piece of cake. Just mix boiling water with the formula powder, mix thoroughly for 2 minutes wait for it to settle a moment and then serve
He gets it in the mornings, afternoons and before bed not more nor less. If anything I contact the keeper ASAP for guidance or help or anything at all. My dad helps, gives him a feed in the mornings. I asked the keeper a trillion questions and especially about the formula. I don't know what type you guys use but ours is safe and easy. We feed him by the syringe type of feeder instead of the spoon method.
He was a nipper and a growler when I got him home but the next day with some time, and training he settled. We have spent a LOT of time with him. We keep him indoors in the living room with the TV open every day. We have fallen in love with him already. I'm extremely cautious about everything but so far so good, he seems x50 more relaxed then when we first got him home, now I can pick him up with my hands on his body and he wouldn't mind
Any advice though since he is still young and what to expect from him when he gets older?
Oh and he is definitely not going outside until he at least gets his iris in because he needs to be kept warm at the moment as he is still a baby.
We now plan to keep him with us every day in the living room, his cage is at eye level too. He gets out to play very often and there's a stand on top of his cage.
But my research hasn't stopped
Still asking some pro's I got in contact with and looking for more improvements and adventures.
