african gray

Hi Friends! We have an African gray and of course don't use any Teflon, Airwicks, candles, etc. However, we have a number of other rescues (cats, dogs, even a snake), so we would really like to find SOMETHING to help improve the scent of the house. I don't feel comfortable doing a simmer pot on...

Me and my wife got our AG Skipper about 2 years ago. I don’t know much on his past other than he was owned by a few people. Not sure on his age as well. He is pretty talkative and always asks for peanuts. He will also bow his head like he wants scratches, and will let you scratch his head, but...

We just adopted an 27 year old Congo African Gray yesterday from a sanctuary. She was in a smaller cage with perches but seemed to prefer a specific one. We have her in a cage about 2x larger with 2 natural perches, different woods and sizes, 2 of the store perches that help with nails and beak...

Hi! I recently purchased an expensive and large second hand Kings Cages cage for my African grey. After taking it home I saw that there are a few small rusty spots on it. What should I do to fix it?

Hi I'm not sure where to post this thread, I hope this is the right place. my name is paul eaton I been trying to find an african gray to more or less replace my parrot that I had that passed away on us. I used to have a bird named chico. he was given to us by my wife's aunt. he was roughly...

Hi! Looking for advice on what bird to get. We are a family of 3 adults and 2 kids (raised around animals and are very respectful toward them). We had a cockatiel as a “starter bird” who sadly died during his supervised outdoor exercise time. We dedicated at least 5-7 hours a day with our...

Hi friends, it is my first time posting here so I am unsure of all the etiquettes but I know that most of you are really knowledgable on different bird species. I currently have a 6 month old golden conure and since I know that they love a large flock, I am thinking of adopting another bird to...

My parrot's eyes are half open and the bottom area looks swollen. She also has her mouth open and makes a squeaking noise, kind of like a dog toy ever so often. We have been to the vets (stated it was an avian vet) but I don't think it was. I have an appointment on Thursday to see an avian vet...

Hi everyone! As the title suggests, I’m looking for a good avian vet in South Florida. I was taking my birds to Backos Bird Clinic, but as I called today to schedule a grooming, unfortunately I was told the doctor has passed away, and they’re permanently closed. I’ve searched the Association of...

I recently received a new stainless steel cage for my CAG. It’s a bit dirty, so I wanted to give it a real deep clean. I saw that f10 was safe for birds, but when watching videos or searching forums, I only see the F10 listed for Avain usage specifically. I was wondering if this one is the same...

Located in Arkansas but willing to travel Moluccan Cockatoo / African Grey / two Green Cheek Conures Our parrots have been a part of our lives for 10 years, and they have brought us immense joy. We have a dedicated bird room and ensure they receive fresh chop and fruit daily. Their chop bowls...

My 7 year old African Grey desperately needed a new cage. I saw Gizmo the grey with this cage and the websites I saw said it was OK for Greys, so I assumed it was good enough for him. Fast forward to now, after purchasing, I’m convincing myself that it’s not appropriate. Here is the cage in...

Hi all, my 32 year old CAG started dumping his seed/ food (same seed we’ve been feeding him for over 30 years once we figured out which one he liked). He scoops it out of his bowl, and even holds the banana chips in the seed to scoop the food out! My father lived with us and passed in January...

Hey!! I just made chop for the second time! I’m so proud of this and Romeo loves it, so I had to share!:heart: (My ingredients are frozen & microwaved or blanched in water from my electric kettle, since my entire stove broke; smh ) Recipe: •Purple, white, green & orange cauliflower...

Hi! I'm looking for a big cage for an African Grey. But all the big cages I find have a 1-inch bar spacing (I want a 3/4 bar spacing). I have been looking at several places like A&E and Kings Cages but have yet to find one. Please if you have any recommendations let me know. Thanks!

Hi! So my bird does this every so often and it’s usually followed by regurgitation and stops when I pet his head. I was just wondering if anybody else’s bird does this.

My 6 year old CAG was let onto the couch to spend time with us out of his cage. He began chirping and outstretching his wings when we all sat down. Is this mating behavior? I’m not worried, because he looks extremely lively and happy.

Hi! I'm going to get an African grey and am wondering what cage to get for it. I have looked at several websites Kings Cages, A&E, etc. but the cages that would be suitable for a larger birds are thousands of dollars. If you have any larger birds and have cage recommendations please let me know!
