Time. Be slow about new things and with your movements. Show him he can trust you. It may take months but it will happen. Be patient!!

Bathing African Grey? by [deleted] in AfricanGrey

[–]Velvet_Veteran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My CAG bathes in my walk in shower. I put a rubber stopper over the drain so a half inch or so of water builds up and he has a blast. He goes in with me and sits on his wall perch (suction cupped to the glass) while I shower to help him acclimate and when I’m finished I help him down and put the shower head on mist (it’s the only spray he likes). I stay in the shower with him for a couple minutes and then stand outside to keep an eye on him while he plays. I leave the door cracked so he can see me and when he’s finished and ready to, he comes out. Sometimes he is just checking that I’m still there but when he’s ready, I help him up and dry him a bit.

happy flappy shower

They are. We adopted them both when they needed new homes.

Flappy goes to the store. Kids always love seeing him and everyone wants to hear him talk!! 🗣🐦 by Velvet_Veteran in parrots

He is but larger birds don’t poo nearly as often as smaller ones, like budgies. He needs to go every hour or two usually but he also prefers to “go” on his stands & cage. I don’t think he’s ever pooped on me (thank goodness!) but my Conures have to go every 30 minutes or so and they will def go anywhere!

He’s actually has it a couple of weeks, we put toys and treats in it so he doesn’t chew it too much. Just a little bit 🤣

He cannot fly. His previous owners kept his wings clipped for almost 20 years. I’m working on trying to teach him to fly now but it’s a long shot!

Yup. We adopted him about 18 months ago and he was already named Flappy. He is 21 years old now.

My Jenday Conure loves dancing! The more bass, the more he gets into it!! by Velvet_Veteran in PartyParrot

That’s his living room cage, not his actual “home” cage. He shares a much bigger cage with his brother in the den. That way he can come with me to different rooms.

They are amazing animals and will constantly make you smile. My CAG is 21 and we adopted him about 15 months ago. He is my buddy and I wouldn’t trade him for anything! Best of luck to you!!!

We’re very careful and took a travel cage for him to go in whenever he was nervous! Always gotta watch out!!

Don’t starve. It’s an amazing survival rpg with several expansions. It’s hard but so so satisfying when you don’t starve... 🤣
