Enjoying your videos! Learning things even with my 35 years owning goffins. Wish you would cover preparing a small amount of info for when your demise happens. We have a 35 years old very healthy male Goffin, a 25 year old Grey, they are great buds. Grey is male. Then a female 25 year old female goffin (laid an egg). Goffins do not get along at all. They fight. If something would happen to us someone might assume the goffins cage together. (All birds second hand) we received an urgent call from a friend. His friend an 60 year old woman who died after 3 weeks on life support. Two of her birds died and 3 were left. Her son showed up from time to time and fed them. One African grey, lilac Amazon and one Jen day were left. Took them in without knowing what stress they had been under. Wish I had info about likes and habits about any of them. The male grey was stressed out and spends his time in our bathroom behind the toilet. In 1 and 1/2 years he has laid 15 eggs. Had to change his name. Talks very well. She forgets to eat and shakes most of the time. I used my almond butter mixed with olive oil and powdered olive leaf that I give my birds and seems to be getting her excited about eating. My point is every time we go out of town for the day we leave extra seed in case of an emergency. And please leave notes about your birds habits. You have videos! I love my cuddle and energetic goffins. Never really understood greys. Will keep watching for more education.
So glad you're enjoying the videos, and thanks for the great suggestion! I’ll definitely cover preparing for our birds’ future in an upcoming video. I keep a notebook for each of my parrots with their routines, likes, and habits-super helpful for emergencies! Sounds like you’ve done an amazing job caring for your birds.Thanks for sharing your story!
i like your videos bro keep it up i have 2 conures a sun and a green cheek but im am looking into getting african grey or a macaw into my family hopefully soon
The amount of woodworking and knot tying techniques I've learned for making bird toys is kind of alarming. I could be a carpenter AND a rock climber, and possibly a sailor.
@@Grynn96 That's a really good question. Going on vacation and leaving your grey with a boarder or family member doesn't mean your grey will absolutely pluck. I find that this happens with birds that have been trained to be overly dependent on their owners. This is a direct result of spoiling your bird and treating them like a child instead of the "wild" animals they are. I believe the best way to prevent this is to provide plenty of enrichment to ensure that your bird has the ability to keep themselves busy without you needing to be there. You can also give your bird opportunities to forage for food instead of having food readily available in a bowl. In short, your birds life should not revolve around one person.
@@Africangreyjournal true can try to place around but if she moves could poop anywhere. 😂 I clean her cage and change water every night and find the occasional poop in bowls. Always wonder bc she’s supposed to smart. Haha.
My bird loves leather. She’s a green cheek and I tie pieces to her cage and she goes to town on it. Cage has all kinds of toys, wood and she’s really only interested in veggie tanned leather.
I make and reuse from old toys all the time. Thanks for the links to some new items I’ve never seen before ♥️

I got a question. How do you go on vacation if you have an African grey and not have it pluck? Love your videos ❤@@Africangreyjournal

@@Africangreyjournal okay thanks alot im thinking of getting an african grey and just wanted to make sure :)
Problem with stuff on bottom is poop hits bottom too. So may end up pooping in food and water. Keep food and water mid cage.
Agreed! It all depends on perch placement though.

Ah, that's awesome. Such a great idea! I'm going to tie a piece to the cage today.
Thank you!
Are circle cages ok for 1 African grey?
That design isn't the best for Parrots. Feel free to send me a photo theafricangreyjournal@gmail.com
@@Africangreyjournal just sent an email 🙂
