african grey

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 there, my name is Chris, I live in central Virginia, and am delighted to have found this forum. At the moment I'm birdless, but am seriously considering opening my home to a rescued CAG. Have I lost my mind? Maybe. We'll see. It's scary to contemplate having a housemate that's significantly...

Hi ..I’m Kathy and this is Rio ..I recently adopted/rescued this little older Grey…not sure of her age or really of her sex…poor baby was living mostly alone in a spare bedroom and her owner was moving…she is very sweet and talks up a storm so she must have had love and attention from a previous...

Hello everyone, I hope you're all having a great holiday. I was recommended here from Reddit in hopes of getting more information or second opinions on some symptoms our African Grey has been suffering since yesterday afternoon. I will preface this post by saying that my sister and I had...

Hi, I was wondering if I should stick to just using water to bathe my baby CAG or if I should also start using some sort of aloe bath spray. I have heard good and bad things about using aloe bath sprays and just want to do what’s best for my bird.

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! New member here. I found a previous thread here regarding this question, but without photos I wasn’t sure if we were discussing the same thing. The photos show the “hole” in question. The photo at the end is me pointing to where it is. Jordan is a 23 year old male African grey who has...

I currently live in Texas and wondering if anyone knows any reputable breeders who has young birds or fertilized eggs. We have a large GCF incubator and wanting to hatch our own. I've always loved the AGP but willing to see what other young birds or fert eggs available. We currently raise...

Hello all, Hope you all are doing good. I am getting my 2nd bird now. My 1st bird is a Sun Conure. He is 3 years old very active and very loud at times. I have a doubt and hope to get some insight here. As people say African greys are very good at mimicking, is it possible that my grey will...

So i posted about this grey (8 Year old) in my older thread. She? I think? Was a “rescue”. A family member gave her to me because they felt like they don’t have time for her anymore. They said she was very mean but she is a sweetheart so i thought maybe they just forced her to step up ect. Came...

Hello! Today I noticed that my African Grey has a small pink spot on his face. He’s been scratching his face and his nail clipping appointment has been pushed back. His nails are quite long (and sharp). I feel so badly :( I’m going to see if there’s somewhere else reputable I can get it done...

I bought a baby african grey (I know shopping is bad, but I looked everywhere for a rescue and couldn't find one) and I'm scheduled to take her home august 1st once she weans. I visit her almost every day, I've already taught her to eat chop, and have so many toys, a huge cage, play stand...

Hello this is jack he is an African timneh grey. This morning when we uncovered him his toes were bent up, he isn’t used to being handled so we don’t want to take him To a vet unless this is a serious issue. Does anyone have any ideas of what could have happened? Thank you

Hey everyone, one of my family members can no longer take care of their african grey and they gave him to me. I’ve had an african grey before, who unfortunately flew away after someone in my house forgot to lock the cage door while he was getting some sun time (i was out of town and got a phone...

My friend's 12 year old African grey has recently been having bad diarrhea and is acting really lethargic. He says there are little green spots in the poop and he doesn't know what to do.

Hello! I just brought Stanley home last Sunday and am hoping to get some advice regarding how to best set up his cage. Stanley is 1 1/2 years old and only has two nails on one foot and somewhat of a knob (with slight toes) for the other foot. He seems to get around quite well using his beak and...
