i had baby brought to me about 4 weeks ago she is now very much my bird, but are greys this quiet lol, ive never met one in my years as quiet as her.

i had a blue crowned conure who never shut up but baby mumbles words and only whistles when whistled to. dont get me wrong a quiet happy bird is good

shes an ex aviary bird who is now letting me cuddle and kiss her with some constant training from me and enjoys coming out of her cage.

the other problem is she cant step up, and prefers the side of her cage rather than a perch, or sitting on my chest rather than my shoulder and is a bit wobbly, does anyone have any tips to help get her more stable on her feet

thank u x

It might be worth having her checked out by an avian vet to see WHY it is that she is wobbly.It may be that she has sustained an injury whilst in the aviary, or have a problem with her bones through a deficiency of calcium or vitamins etc, before you got her.
I find that MOST greys are a lot quieter than other species, in that they dont tend screech the in the same way, or as loudly as conures, cockatoos, macaws.
If it is caused with a problem with her bones, you may be able to adapt her cage with broader perches or shelves instead.
I personally would get her checked over in the first instance to be sure.

thank u ann, after speaking to lorraine last night i looked into how she was kept and basically only ever sat on a food bowl and hang off the cage side, she now has different width perches in all materials but since the post seems to like the rope perch more. i think its a case of not knowing what the different perches are let alone what a human hand is for too

i will be looking up a good avain vet in this area for sure though, she has all her vitamins from a previous home after taken out of the avairy, the last owner didnt notice the wobble as she was never let out.

I'm sure she will do fine now that she is with you . Keep us updated on her progress, its always good to hear how well they come on.

Yay she's stopped wobbling lol. Found a thicker perch which I would've thought to thick but she's loving it. The hand and shoulder is coming slowly but she's not used to being handled really so trust is one of her things apart from the perching issue she's a happy girl with attitude but no aggression ( unless your a cat)
