First of all welcome to the forum :) In most cases it’s more about bonding with a specific person, not a hard rule about only liking men or women. African Greys are very social and tend to choose “their person” based on time, trust, and interaction. A bird that currently prefers males or...

Thinking about getting an African Grey but stuck on the big question: male or female? You’re not alone. This is one of the most common questions new parrot owners ask — and the answer might surprise you. The truth is, when it comes to African Grey parrots, personality matters much more than...

Hey, you’re doing great already just by being patient with him. What you’re describing is totally normal, especially in the first few weeks. African Greys are super intelligent but also very sensitive, so the “hot and cold” behavior is pretty common while they’re still figuring you out. You...

Totally normal 😊 It’s usually just their alert/curious mode kicking in. They’re super intelligent and tend to pause and “analyze” their surroundings like tiny feathered CCTV cameras :D As long as he’s acting normal before and after (eating well, active, vocal, playful), it’s nothing to worry...

Totally normal with African Greys, so don’t worry too much. They’re very loyal birds and tend to “pick” a favorite person. What helped with my Grey was letting other family members handle feeding, treats, and playtime so he started associating everyone with positive experiences. I also tried not...

It actually sounds like you’re doing a great job already. A balanced mix of quality pellets as the base and fresh fruits/veggies like you’re giving is usually ideal. Most people aim for pellets to be the main part of the diet, with fresh foods added daily. Raw veggies are generally great, but...

That’s such a relatable post 😂 African Greys are experts at ignoring expensive toys and loving “trash” instead! Most Greys genuinely prefer shredding toys over fancy ones – cardboard, paper cups, palm leaves, untreated wood blocks, and paper-filled rolls are huge hits. DIY toys are totally...

Again, welcome to the forum! It sounds like you’re already doing an amazing job, your routine is honestly spot on for a new grey owner. Rotating toys every 1–2 weeks really helps keep African grey mentally stimulated, and even short daily training/bonding sessions make a big difference. I...

First of all, welcome to the forum! We’re really happy to have you here. Your Grey “arguing” with the TV made me laugh, that sounds exactly like typical Grey behavior! hahah You’re definitely in the right place to learn about care, diet, and keeping their brilliant little minds busy. Feel...

Great, thread, bravo 👏👏👏

Hello everyone, hope you're all doing well! I wanted to start a thoughtful and educational thread about one of the most famous parrots in the world — Alex the African Grey — and the story behind his emotional “last words.” Many new parrot owners hear bits and pieces of his story, so let’s put...

Hey there, welcome to the forum! :) It’s completely understandable to feel worried when a Grey suddenly becomes quiet, these birds have such strong personalities that even small changes can feel huge. From what you’ve described, it could be something mild like a mood shift, boredom, or a...
