I had a question a few weeks ago about tips for an African Grey Parrot I had taken in. He was a wee bit unhappy and feeling neglected and had pulled all the feathers on his legs, back and belly.
I have now had him for 6 weeks and he has a soft down all over his body and tiny red tail feathers coming in (shh don't tell him) he still pulls the odd one now and again, but on the whole is fine.
He seems to be happy, he whistles sings, talks away, barks like the dog and says Ouch!! when he feels tempted to pull, BUT he is a seed addict. He came to me that way.
I can get him to eat peas, pomegranite, pear, banana, the odd bit of corn and a wee bit of scrambled egg or cheese, but everything else gets thrown at me, he wont even try it. I am supplimenting his diet just now to make sure he stays healthy, but has anyone got any tips to get hm to move to something healthier than seed.
Oh if I take away his seed he wont eat - he is that stubborn!!!
