Is it ok to pair brown head parrots if they’re a year apart??
@Africangreyjournal
@Africangreyjournal 4 күн бұрын
I personally haven't bred Brown heads but when working with other Poicephalus, I always proceed with caution. I would establish a neutral cage to introduce both of them to instead of placing one bird in the others cage. Many place birds side by side for days-weeks but I haven't found that this increases the likelyhood that the birds will get along, it just delays the inevitable.

Glad for any tips. In many years I also found out exercise is very important to their physical and mental health. Use a pool noodle (yes the color of it matters green) and chase some around the house (one is scared of it) we both get our exercise. My old grey loves ice cubes to chew on, will do anything for one. Saw a video of a flock of greys chewing ice on a pond on a KZbin video.

Certainly! That's such a great point. I plan to double the size of their enclosure by year end to encourage flight. Unfortunately, they were clipped before I got them. They can still fly short distances though.

Congrats! First I'd want to feed exactly what the breeder weaned him/her on over the next 2-3 weeks. Going to a new home can be a bit stressful so you want to keep the food familiar. After that I'd start to make some changes, if needed. I personally like to feed a base of pellets 50-70 percent and add fruits veggies, sprouted seed, and nuts for added diversity.

Seeing all the birds was like heaven for me, and the large selection of toys too. 4:27 I can’t believe there was a moon cheek, I’ve only seen them irl once (at a parrot expo) and I actually thought they were a myth for a while. Green cheek conures are my favorite and moon cheek is probably my dream bird

Enjoying your videos! Learning things even with my 35 years owning goffins. Wish you would cover preparing a small amount of info for when your demise happens. We have a 35 years old very healthy male Goffin, a 25 year old Grey, they are great buds. Grey is male. Then a female 25 year old female goffin (laid an egg). Goffins do not get along at all. They fight. If something would happen to us someone might assume the goffins cage together. (All birds second hand) we received an urgent call from a friend. His friend an 60 year old woman who died after 3 weeks on life support. Two of her birds died and 3 were left. Her son showed up from time to time and fed them. One African grey, lilac Amazon and one Jen day were left. Took them in without knowing what stress they had been under. Wish I had info about likes and habits about any of them. The male grey was stressed out and spends his time in our bathroom behind the toilet. In 1 and 1/2 years he has laid 15 eggs. Had to change his name. Talks very well. She forgets to eat and shakes most of the time. I used my almond butter mixed with olive oil and powdered olive leaf that I give my birds and seems to be getting her excited about eating. My point is every time we go out of town for the day we leave extra seed in case of an emergency. And please leave notes about your birds habits. You have videos! I love my cuddle and energetic goffins. Never really understood greys. Will keep watching for more education.

How would you go on vacation without having your bird pluck
@Africangreyjournal
@Africangreyjournal 19 күн бұрын
That's a really good question. Going on vacation and leaving your grey with a boarder or family member doesn't mean your grey will absolutely pluck. I find that this happens with birds that have been trained to be overly dependent on their owners. This is a direct result of spoiling your bird and treating them like a child instead of the "wild" animals they are. I believe the best way to prevent this is to provide plenty of enrichment to ensure that your bird has the ability to keep themselves busy without you needing to be there. You can also give your bird opportunities to forage for food instead of having food readily available in a bowl. In short, your birds life should not revolve around one person.
