hello,
Hope all is well with all you African Grey owners:0)
Maggie, i am the girl who own's AIko and wrote you last about which way I should get his nails done ( you said filed ) and I am looking into it, and I need to get his beak trimmed, but in the mean time, he's been using his cement perch, and he's filed down a good chunk out of it with his beak ( his beak doesn't seem damaged because of it ) but my concern is that while he was filing, I saw cement on his tongue. Me and my mom tried to clean it but he was angry and did not wanna be touched there. He wouldn't eat the cement would he? How does he get rid of it since it's already on his tongue.
However,he seems very healthy and happy.
One more question please:on the one side of his primaires , at the very bottom, they're slicked the opposite way ( it looks like a cow lick ) I have no idea how that happened. Then recently he had it on the other side as well, which he fixed back to normal, but the side it happened first on- still looks like a cow lick. Is that normal? Should I be concerned?
thank you for all your advice.
be well,
ernita
