parrot dandruff In category The GREY Lounge Written by Shaister I have a brand new African Grey (Timneh) who is only 9 weeks old. I have never had a parrot before though I have done a lot of reading. When he preens, there is a lot of white flaky "dandruff". Is this normal? Is it part of losing his baby fuzz? I have only had him for 3 days now. How often should I mist him?

Alex and Dr. Pepperberg In category The GREY Lounge Written by kevirose I visited Dr. Pepperberg yesterday at the Featherlust Bird shop. Her university contract was cut short and she will be unemployed as of this September. Any donations (even small ones) to www.alexfoundation.org would be very much appreciated. Dr. Pepperberg's research has opened many people's eyes to the intelligence of parrots, and it would be a shame to see her work end prematurely.

She has all her down but not proper feathers and is very very scared. I have named her 'Polly' and put her into one of the smaller large cages as she is prone to panicing and falling and she might hurt herself in the large cage with 'Cuppy' and 'Piper'. Had her for a week and there is some improvement already. She makes contact whi

re:Miracles In category The GREY Lounge Written by Tsunami Tonight on Rona Downey's show on PAX called "Miracles" was a story about an African Grey named "Rupert". The lady who owned "him" and Rupert were very close and Rupert was a great friend to her.

My poor plucking parrot update In category The GREY Lounge Written by Suck it bitch It's been a couple of weeks since we moved Sydney back into her little cage. It's too soon I supose to tell what benefits the move has had. I will say she has lots of feathers coming in, the question is will she pluck or let these stay. So far, so good.

My wife's Grey loves to ride on her shoulder when she vacuums the house. But if she doesn't pick him up, as soon as the vacuum cleaner starts to run, her Grey invariably runs to his water dish and takes a vigorous bath - water goes everywhere. A friend of my wife's also reported this unusual behavior with her bird.

Unusual Droppings In category The GREY Lounge Written by v-koko Over the past year, my Congo African Grey has been drinking exessive amounts of water, and in result, he does not leave solid droppings, but a clear, liquid kind.

My question is how can I limit his water supply
