I have never had an African Grey before, just cockatiels, parakeets, etc. Someone I knew bought a baby before it was weaned and didn't realize the work that needs to be put into it so she gave it to me. I feed him three times a day (a formula for baby birds). I hope that is alright. I was also wondering if it is normal for babies to scream loudly. Even after I feed him and his crop is completely full he still cries for more food. Can they over eat? or should I just keep feeding him till he stops crying?
I read the other thread about how someone took their bird to the vet for a vaccine and it died that night. Should I not take my baby ag to the vet? He has a spot on his skin near his neck that is yellowish/whitish. I don't know what it is, or if I should have a vet look at it, unless it will just go away on its own. The ag is about 7-8 weeks old.
One more question. I read that it is good to take ag in the shower with you atleast once a week. I do that with my cockatiel, but can I take the baby ag in the shower with me as long as I dry him afterwards? Thanks for any advice you can give me.
