Hi again all! I had a quick question about my recently acquired, re-homed grey (can see details here africangreyparrot.info/thread/8141/new-re-homed-grey ). We got her about a week ago, and she's taken to her new home very well. Had some early on concerns about her eating, but she's started doing that more as well. One thing she has been doing since the third day or so is a lot of looking around in her cage, as if searching for a way out - and tentatively moving her wings as if about to take flight.
I've been told this can be because she feels stressed, so I tried removing all the toys in her cage and adding them back one at a time to be sure it's none of them, as well as making sure she has a place to hide in the cage. It didn't help, but the thing is she is still crazy talkative when she's doing this, and I Was told by her previous owner that she doesn't talk nearly as much when she's stressed or scared. And she still lets me scratch her neck and hold her when she's like this (and in fact gets better when I do).
Both her previous owner's and my theory is that she wants attention and to be out of the cage for a bit, but I figured I'd get some second opinions before I just assume she's okay.
