Re: Anyone with an African Grey Parrots

I have a 5 year old grey called Fred.
He is a darling.
We can teach him something new and it will take him 3 days to learn it.
His latest is 'help sharks' lol

There's a number of foods that you should avoid giving your African grey, I wrote a blog post about this the other day called 10 toxic foods for parrots which discusses what the foods are and what they are likely to do to your parrot should they eat them.

Re: Anyone with an African Grey Parrots

I'm not a severe asthma sufferer by any means but particularly in the summer months when the pollen count is high I do suffer more for sure, my mother in law has chronic lung disease and has a grey in the house 'Eddie' she copes but then I'm convinced half the reason she suffers is because of the grey, some tips to help people with breathing problems are to not position your grey where you sit or spend the most time stationary and get some dust extraction equipment, it's pretty cheap these days, I think we got ours from ebay, we don't run it all the time just in the summer months or when we have loads of babies in the house.

Its funny you say that as my grey was always next to me...we have a kinda small living room...i was always cleaning him out sometimes 3 times a day spraying him aswell to keep the dust down.. was ok but...dont work ..i was rushed into hozzy with bad asthma attack.. and they did tests and it was my grey...

But i seem to be ok with small birds...

Re: Anyone with an African Grey Parrots

Greys do give off a lot off dust.
There are some birds such as sun conures who would be better for asthmatics as they do not create so much dust.
