Hi guys,
We have a beautiful 6 year old Congo African Grey name Vinnie who we’ve had since he was 12 weeks old.
We’ve just moved house and it’s been the first big change for Vinnie that he’s ever really had other than staying with family while we’ve gone on holiday (which he’s always been completely fine about!). Since moving in Vinnie has been excessively begging, wings low and flapping, squeaking etc whenever we leave him alone in the room, even just to go to the kitchen where he can see and hear us still. He’s completely fine when one of us is sat in the room with him but gets himself really worked up when we leave him even for a few seconds.
The problem is that his wings are scraping on his perches and it’s making the edges of his wings start to look really tattered and sore. I’m really worried he’ll end up with open sores on him from the excessive begging. I’ve ordered some smooth perches (he currently has a variety and it’s the rougher perches he’s messing his wings up on) to swap them out with until he’s settled but wondered if anyone has experienced anything like this before and how to best manage it?
Thanks in advance from a worried little grey owner!
