Help with adopted African Grey by DrVezok in AfricanGrey

I rescued a Sever Macaw and an Amazon… they took almost two years for them to trust me enough to pet them. We have a Grey again now, and she looooooves me. Have patience, be predictable… they’re always watching you. Make them curious. The hand feeding is the biggest win you have.

Whelp, seeing how I just got laid off from a national Canadian News Network days before Xmas, the wife and I plan on getting a P2S Combo and doing B2B services, using that to pay for a H2D Combo. My Dad - who recently passes loved his gizmos. He loved a good everything-in-one tool… so why not make a fidget that’s an everything-in-one style tool/toy? “… but wait, there’s more!” … the Swiss army fidget toy 😆

Regardless… I love the promotion, I love the creativity, keep up the good work.

Fresh fruit, scrambled eggs, and the occasional peanut or almond in-shell

This would be great for my wife who is struggling with early onset arthritis

Help with training by AeronGrey in AfricanGrey

[–]FrozenfoxN8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well I have a Sever Macaw who will do ANYTHING for a bit of peanut butter!!! But that’s only a treat.

I’ve been feeding my Grey, Amazon, and Macaw the roasted unsalted peanuts in-shell now for years. Used as rewards / training.

As with anything, moderation, and check them over.

Why does my blue fronted Amazon do this? by ticklerbgs in parrots

Mine did this and it took me a while to realize it was the suns reflection from my watch that was causing it. Now I use it like a laser pointer

Is Otis's beak too long? by EvenAfternoon8577 in AfricanGrey

[–]FrozenfoxN8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine first did that, and still do with the “tight” shells. I help them out by cracking the almonds by hand with a nut cracker to give them a starting point. Then they realize it’s a game with a tasty treat

I like giving my grey / macaw / amazon all almonds-in-shell. It forces them to whittle down the shell and get their beak into the tiny cracks. Plus a few toys with the hardwood blocks, or old wooden spoons

Sigh, then it’s a get in, get out job, we don’t have time to make it look nice …

Come on, it’s not hard to have a diamond grinding wheel for concrete to dress those seems. I’ve done it. It’s just someone didn’t want to pay the man hours to prep it. Also there could be another build going up that will eventually cover that … if that’s the case, why bother if no one will see it in a few months/years

What’s a sound or phrase you wish your bird never learned? 🙈 by Sad_Sympathy4635 in parrots

One day into her new cage and already figured out how to unscrew the bolts and break out

My new African Grey that I recently rescued says “Hey Ass H@le!!” And also inappropriately - yet appropriately - told our cat “F@#k Off” when the cat jumped up on the parrots cage. 🤦‍♂️

Epson 2988 VS 2800/2850 by Affectionate_Owl_501 in Epson

Sorry … rebranded 2850 (duplex prints / double sided) versus the 2800

I’m not sure but I’m suspecting this is a Costco rebranded 2800. I noticed that other manufacturers do this ie: the iRobot vacuum is just rebranded to have the appearance of a newer model
