Momo the grey

[Joshmackow]

Hey everyone, I just picked up my new male african grey. He is 6 months and absolutely gorgeous

Here he is in the cage with his sister. He is on the left.

And here is a photo of just him

And he is home

He has some terrible habits that the breeder taught him. He likes to fly to heads, shoulders and on top of cages to be on top of everyone. It is slowly getting better.

But he also loves to grab, softly, then doesn't know his own strength. Also getting better.

Does anyone have any advice to help stop him flying when I don't want him to? At the moment I am holding his foot, seems to settle down after that, but still.

He is starting to whistle more and absolutely hates being left in his cage unless it is all dark and sleep time.

welcome home momo hows he settling in ?

So well, he fights to come out of his cage but doesn't get along well with peanut yet. Hopefully they can be friends!

He is eating and starting to get cuddly, so more work and playing needed.

thats good! is he stepping up?
im sure him and peanut will be best friends

so was he more friendly than the girl ?

 

[Joshmackow]

He definitely is stepping up, he is very good at it. Climbs out of the cage before we even try to get him out. Straight onto my arm haha

I hope so. More time together I guess .

He isn't a fan of the shower yet. Need to put him in again but he just flies straight out.

He was just as friendly, just a little bit more nibbly. But he was much bigger and healthier, probably 25% larger for the same age.

naww he likes you already! haha

have you tried misting him?

ahh ok, so you wanted the bigger bird

 

[Joshmackow]

Hehe I hope so!

Haven't misted him yet.

Of course! He looked healthier and prettier. but definitely a bit cheekier as well
