Hi went to see Maya today and she is going on 12 weeks and doesn’t want to ween. I want to bring her home she knows me and just stares at me while I’m holding her. Any advise would be appreciated. I thanks

I wouldn't worry, it is a gradual process. Some Greys take longer than 12 weeks. You could try offering her some chopped mixed veg by hand to see if she will take it from you.

Hi Jane, yes I gave her mixed vegetable and she loved them she hate quite a bit of them she also eats pellets on her own not a lot at once but she does. I’m new to the African grey world she is so sweet, does it mean anything when your holding them and they just stare at you for long periods of time and sometimes she tweets like a tweety bird when she sees me and I’m holding her.
When I talked her she just stares as if she understands what I’m saying.

I think she is doing well. She is bonding with you and communicating with you. Keep talking to her, they do understand.

I can’t wait to get her home I just wasn’t comfortable handfeeding her for fear that I was doing something wrong.

I visited my first grey at the breeder every week from 4 weeks old until he was ready to come home at 14 weeks. It is a good bonding time but it is so hard to wait when you want to have the bird with you all the time.
Hang in there. It won't be long now.

Thank you guys for the advise makes me feel better to just sit here and wait. I go weekly to see her since she was about five to six weeks old. We are getting there I hope.

My baby gets up in the morning tweeting and making cute noises as if she’s saying goodmorning. She sounds as if she wants to say something 😍
