Hi Lori, welcome to the list. You said you will be working on some training until those wings grow in and I wanted to make a suggestion. Flighted birds need...
Thank you for the wonderful advice! I will gladly take any and all words of wisdom as I feel this is a big step for both me and Timmy! I feel that this whole...
... Welcome Lori, This is one of the reasons a partial trim is dangerous. Birds with partially trimmed wings are like airplanes with short wings: they have a...
... Make sure the perching spots are desirable from a bird's perspective (high with a nice view out the window) and he will be less likely to usurp his own ...
... I should have said "window frames".....although my bird is small and doesn't try to chew anything but soft stuff so if your bird might chew window frames ...
When I said partially trimmed I meant that some of his flight feathers were back - just clarifying. I'm hoping that means when his flights return again that he...

Wacko is doing the same thing: Fly-bys attacks. My guess is that the problem is puberty, raging hormones. As far as I know with Greys it goes from 18 months...
I would never allow him to perch on the top of a door. This is just too dangerous. Bart ... Hi Lori, welcome to the list. You said you will be working on...
... I agree. No one can remember -- every time -- to look for 20 years or so. One solution is to put a shelf above the door that will brush them off before the...
As Rex stated, my experience with clipping is very negative. Due to the lack of control Wacko crashed a couple of times on the same wing, loosing a flight...
