Thank you so much for your comment. I wholeheartedly agree! They definitely aren't for everyone.

Thank you so much!! You made some fantastic points! Parrot keeping is not easy by any means. I absolutely agree. My next project is to buy a stainless steel flight cage. I want a cage that is ALOT wider than the one I have now.

I am replying to this comment specifically because I also have a male Eclectus (Ecko - almost two years old). NOT BORING as many have labeled these AMAZING birds. He is very curious, and full of personality and a crack up to be around. Like your bird, Ecko eats better than anyone I know. Fresh fruits, vegetables, limited nuts and pellets. My best to you and Aristotle

Thank you so much! These birds teach me something new everyday!

Can I tel you the story's of all my birds? It's been quite a journey for all of my birds😁

@@Firefox14958I’d love to hear!

​@@Africangreyjournal ok so, let's begin with my budgie, Crypto, he is 2 and a half now, when i got my budgie Crypto, we already had Cosmo my red throated conure. Cosmo and Crypto were the bestes of friends. Cosmo was VERY loud. One day i accidentally left the window open, and Crypto flew out!!!!!! But because Cosmo and Crypto were such good friends, Crypto already knows Cosmo's loud voice, i cryed for 2 hours, we put'ed Cosmo in his carrier cage and took him outside so that Crypto hears his loud voice, so Crypto stayed near the house, and it was night time, i thought my Crypto was long gone by nou, but the next morning at 5 am we heard a budgie sound, i jumped up, put Cosmo in his carrier cage and took him outside, and there was Crypto, he landed on Cosmo's carrier cage, Crypto looked awful, he hadn't eaten, drinking, and all of the other birds chased him away, so he was a bit hurt, but he was ok, we brought him back in to the house, and right now he is sitting next to me while I'm telling his story, I've got more stories, i have 8 birds 😂

I just put up a whole comment on my other bird but YYYYYYTTTTTT won't allow the comment, where can i share my bird storys to you? ❤

And oh boy, it was a loooonnngg comment 😁

Thank you so much. That really means a lot to me. I'll be sure to keep the videos coming!

Thank you so much! These birds teach me something new each day! I appreciate your support 🦜

You’re very welcome! Im glad you enjoyed the video. Yes, my next video will cover the initial costs of owning an African Grey and the monthly reoccurring expenses. I will be as transparent as possible. I’ll be sure to reveal their names in that video!! I appreciate your support 🙌

@@Africangreyjournal Can't wait for the next video!! 👍

Thank you for sharing! I am so glad that Cosmo is now doing well. I cant believe he was fed cheese! Thank you so much for your support!

My conure craves cheese more than anything. But only gets a little nibble now and then. Also it loves to be 30. Who cares if it eats a little cheese

@@rickybobby76 The fat and lactose can be difficult for parrots to digest but its your call. Everyone has a different approach .

Yes indeed!!

Thank you for the suggestions!! I really appreciate it.

Thank you so much. Im glad you enjoyed the video!

Im so glad you enjoyed the video! You should start working with your grey as soon as possible. Once you have given your bird time to adjust to its new surroundings, you should get right to it. Early exposure is very important for Greys because they are prone to developing phobias.

You are so right about AGs getting phobias. My bird was 18 mo when I got him. He had been in at least 4 different homes. He is afraid of being moved so doesn't like being handled. As far as bites go, it's going to happen but pulling away worse thing you can do, I push back gently and he releases.

It certainly does! I'll be sure to make a video on this topic. Thank you for the suggestion.

Hi! Thank you so much!! Most nonstick pans contain Teflon, which releases an odorless chemical when heated to 400° that can/will kill all birds within the home. Bird safe pans that can be used are stainless steel, ceramic, and cast-iron.

They do! I’ll be revealing their names in my next video titled “The Cost of Owning an African Grey Parrot”. Thank you for your support!!

Thank you!!

That's a great suggestion! I would assume they'd eventually grow accustomed to whatever color I paint the walls though. I try to rotate the toys every two weeks to switch things up. I also play music!

🤣🤣🤣

Hahaha they are usually out of the cage but I cant keep an eye on them while recording. He wanted out for sure 🤣🤣🤣

Thank you so much! I definitely agree, it will take some time for you to build trust with her. How old is she and how long have you had her?

@@Africangreyjournal she is 3 yrs old. I had her only 2 months.

@@mayratorres7733 just be very careful never to yell at your baby because once the trust is broken it’s pretty much over. They all bite. There’s no such thing as a parrot that doesn’t bite. They are sweet and loving, but remember you’re living in their world, so don’t expect them to live in your world with your rules.

@@thirstonhowellthebird yes I’m starting to see that. Doing more and more research.

You just have to be patient and not push - parrots take a long time to build trust.

Agreed they can definitely hold other food items/toys. I guess it comes down to preference for the bird keeper. Hahaha, I love Caiques. They are a ball of pure energy. Im really enjoying the videos on your channel.

@Africangreyjournal zorro perfers chop. He would just eat bell peppers n peas if I didn't make it into chop. He gets to help. He will steal bell peppers n squash. But he wouldn't eat greens n beans he's a snob. He mostly gets chop but I do make him 2 kinds chop. For dinner he just gets one in the food processor. For breakfast I take that. Add peas bird st bistro krinkle carrots n bell peppers chunks. So it has stuff he can hold and bird st bistro has 7 diff flavor so it's not all the same boring meal. Plus fruit in morning. Sometimes sprouts . Thnx 4 watching my videos. I adore zorro.
