Sadly my father just passed away so I now have his beloved grey named Mullet. I have two Macaws and a yellow nape Amazon so I have bird experience. I have been researching any special care/diet requirements Grey's may need.
I've had Mullet for 4 days now and he seems happy. I can't remember how long my father had him, it's been at least 8 years and possibly much longer. When he first got Mullet, he started to pluck. If I remember correctly, he took him to the vet but Mullet stopped plucking and looks beautiful.
The last few years my father wasn't doing well and I don't think Mullet got much attention or interaction. We have an active home and he is getting more attention and interaction than he's probably ever had.
He makes all kinds of sounds and imitates lots of sounds but only says 'hello' in my dad's voice. Since being here a few days, he's picked up new sounds from our home and he just said 'oh no' which I think he picked up from our home.
He is eating and drinking fine, he loves his head scratches, he's very vocal, and seems happy.
What behavioral signs should I look for if he's having separation anxiety? Would he show signs by now? I think he remembers me so I am hoping that will help as well as all the interaction and attention he's getting.
Thank you in advance,
Tracy
