big chewers

[willowbirdy218]

Is your grey a big chewer? Willow can rip apart blocks of wood in just minutes and destroy wooden toys very quickly. He probably doesn't destroy wood like a cockatoo or macaw, but it's a big step up from my lovebird who plays nicely with his toys and only broke one toy (and that wasnt only because the string broke....so i could have fixed it). I don't mind though because i know he has fun with them and has something to keep him occupied. I just didn't think he could destroy wood as fast as he does...do your greys enjoy chewing up wood too?

Caroline never had the opportunity before to do that much. Her beak was incredibly long...so at 30+ yrs. when I got her...she chews, but not a huge chewer. At least her beak looks better proportioned now... :icon_smil

Both of my girls have days when they do a lot of wood chewing. However, its not constant. They will go weeks and avoid the wooden toys completely. I think they chew whatever they need to when they feel the need to manicure their beaks or make a nest.

Nope, as of yet, Grace isn't a big chewer of wood yet at all except small pieces. She's chows down on other things though like lemon grass sticks. She doesn't really pay much attention to her wooden toys. She's more in favor of her rubber toys, raffia or corded toys. She's only 5 mo.s though. I guess it may change as she gets older.
