Post: New 8 year old African Grey

Posted by Michell Lathrop on 9/27/10

Hi, I was given an 8 year old African Grey. She lived with
her first home 7 1/2 years and her second home for 6 month.
She is very unhappy. I have had her for 2 days. I know this
is normal for her, what should I do to make her transition
easier? They told me she does not eat any bird food what so
ever just what ever they ate for dinner she at too. Right
now she does not want to be taken out of her cage and she
will bite if you try. If I put a towel over my arm or have
long sleeves on I can get her out with the bite not hurting
too bad. Once she is out she is OK, but very jumpy. Any
advise would be great I want her to be a happy healthy
bird. One other thing I did notice one side of her beak
seems to have a thin over growth what causes that and what
should I do? I was also told that her first home hand fed
her until she was 3 years old. Thank you for any
suggestions, Michell
