Hi guys new to the forum, we got our new African grey day before yesterday she's amazing!
We have one cage in the top floor of our house and a large play perch in the lounge where we all spend most of the time. With four kids in the house she's always kept entertained. We have only been putting her in the cage at night or when we go out.
Other than that she's been sitting on her play perch.
I have some questions hopefully you can answer. Her feeding bowls have holders which are high in the cage she's climbing but slowly. So we have been putting them at the bottom for now. When should we start putting them higher?
Also should we get a humidifier and a air purifiers? I was thinking to have one of each in the room where the cage is and one of each in the lounge where she will spend her day.
In regards to flying, she's flapping her wings about. Not flying yet. Should we have her wings clipped now or after she learns to fly? Only problem is I don't want the kids to leave the doors or windows open as she might fly away. Will she still be able to fly if we Clip them? An how high how far etc?
The main concern is social interaction etc. The kids love playing with her and talking to her and she is loving the interataction etc she's not showed any signs of agreation or fright etc.
Any comments or suggestions welcome.
