Maybe you could try just putting one or two new items at a time to ease her into it. I’m not expert, but from my experience she will probably be able to adapt.

Only one perch spanned the 4foot cage, and not any color in it. We put a couple toys inside and I put a couple of forked branches in it for her, and she freaked, wouldn't even touch them. Maybe it was too mcuh change. Do you think she'll adapt? I know having different sizes perches are good for them. also they normaly like color and gliz..we didn't get extravagant, just a couple of playthings.

He probably just needs a "cuddle bone" which is made for them to file their beaks on, you can get them at Walmart, and they're really cheep. However, greys do need calcium supplements and vit A supplements for good health because their bodies can't absorb enough from their regular food. Hope this helps! -Kay and Paris Tina,

Are you feeling nostalgic? As for parrots, I've never owned one. And the always make me think of Monty Python. Your last 2 posts have noted things about when you were “a lad”.
