@Trahira517 yes, you do. FuzzyButt has his own tv and DVD player and watches a number of Looney Toons as well as his entire collection of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles which are his favorites. These he watches at least 4 times daily. He wakes to symphonic rock music in the morning, particularly David Garret.
@hulitoons Wow, that's crazy. He shares the same favorite cartoons as I do. Is this to help his stay focused on something to stop the picking? I'm just curious. I've recently met my first Grey and I instantly wanted to take it home with me. I've always just loved animals, so needless to say these guys have me totally dumbfounded. I want one, but it will be a good while before I can get one.
@Trahira517 African Grays are comparable to a 3 year old human child which is why they should ONLY be in a cage for very short periods to keep them safe when traveling etc. Many of these birds will die early if they are kept in a cage all the time unless the cage is as big as a bedroom. FuzzyButt needs the same learning stimulations as any growing child or teen. He has improved but Grays are very like nail biters so he needs distractions!
My African Grey started feather chewing a few days ago. He's only 10 months old. So, I've tried adding a lot of shreddable type toys to his cage. It seems to be helping... We'll see.
Do I hear Popeye in the background?
