If I have a nest for them as well as a plush bird bed…will they mate? I have a male and a female and they look like they could be ready to mate…the female did like this dance (looked like those bird mating dances ive seen on animal planet..lol) and the birds have been very interested in the nest. Are those two things enough or is a bird box a must???
Also, I was told the she should be in her cage most of the day, 20 min. out in the morn, 20 in the afternoon and a 20 min. before bed. Anymore than that will cause her to have cage issues. Do you believe that? She has a pellet mixture (Zieglers & Higgins pellets) for the day, veggie mix for night. What do you think of the diet? I was told I can give her some fresh veggies and a small piece of fruit each day. In the afternoon she can have a piece of spray millet. This is what she’s been eating. She still gets one syringe of baby food at night. I’d like to get her eating an all organic diet as described in Alicia McWatters, “A Guide to a Naturally Healthy Bird: Nutrition, Feeding, and Natural Healing Methods for Parrots.” Heard any good things about her approach? My baby grey has been off antibiotics since Monday. Should she see an avian Vet before bringing her home or should I give her some time to get acclimated to her new home first? I just want to do the best or her. Thanks
