Post: Destructive Habits

Posted by Pete on 9/15/08

I have a bonded pair of CAGs, the female(Gracie) will be
two years old on 9/19/08 and the male(Luigi) is an older
bird of unknown age. I realize that all Greys love to chew,
but lately when I come into their room in the morning, I
see that one or both have been chewing up the carpet. They
are really chewing down to the backing of the rug and
leaving quite a bit of chewed up pile around. I`m not
worried about the rug, just them. Is this Normal behavior?
Gracie is too young to mate, but could it be hormones?
They sleep in separate cages with the doors open. The
room gets very dark at night so I do not cover them. They
get up with the Sun and have additional Full Spectrum
Lighting from 10:00am until 8:00pm. Should I worry about
the situation? Please Respond THANKS!! Pete
