I Have An African Grey And A Triton Cockatoo.
I hand fed both and have had the Grey since 1985 and the Cockatoo since 1987.

Hi Mitch and Catherine,
Thanks again for an informative ‘Sunday Birdie Brunch’!
I would appreciate some guidance…
Due to my carelessness and haste a month ago, I scooped Hannah up as she was running down the hallway and dropped her by accident.

Can My Daughter And I Co-Bond With An African Grey?
We don’t generally interact with mainstream bird rescue organizations.
The last bird club/rescue meeting I spoke at began with a police presence called by the current president trying to forcibly remove the former president, who wouldn’t leave.

Which is why we mainly work with private rescues and bird rescue initiatives.

Can I Give Raw Almonds to My African Grey Parrot? Is It Safe, or a Risk to His Health?
Firstly I need to address the “peanuts are bad for parrots” urban legend.
If you leave a pizza on the kitchen counter for two days it will get fungus.
Cheese in the best of circumstances will grow fungus in the refrigerator after about a week.
