Talon

WOW! I would love to ave one for my birds. IS there a way David would explain what it is made out of....:huh:

Welcome to our family. The forum can be a bit intimidating at first, but after a while, it will seem easy to you. Please feel free to ask if you need any help finding your way around. I look forward to hearing more from you and am anxious to see and hear about your flock at home! B)

Pearl, that is a great bed. Did you make it? Talon would love it!! She has a hut right now, but she' too big for it so she sleeps on the top of it...:blink:

We have a "How much does your grey weigh" thread in the Grey Lounge. Amazons can be so much bigger, I would like to know how much Your Amazon Weighs. Nilah at 8 months weighed 390 grams

Nilah was able to talk when I got her at 6 months old. they are soooo smart!! As for the duet......be careful what you wish for....:laugh:

I err on the side of caution, and am very vigilant about NOT letting my birds have the seeds. It is a personal choice. B)

I LOVE this thread!!! Nilah just turned 9 months yesterday, and she says many things, but my most favorite is, "Want a cup of coffee?" in a Brooklyn, New York accent. I am from New England, not New York, but I taught it to her in a NY accent as I have a dear friend from there and he loves coffee. :laugh:

WOW! How beautiful....

2 of my 3 birds can fly, but they do loves to walk around on the floor and explore as well. B)

How exciting!! Can't wait for pictures!! :woohoo:

Nilah being 9 months old is still young, but she loves to sing thew scales in La la la la la la laaaaaaaaa. WHe I pretend (yes, it's pretty bad) to sing an opera scale, she LOVES it and copies me. :laugh:

I put the tv on....Nick Jr. But twice a week, I put the Bird Sitter dvd in for them. I like them to learn the other bird sounds. B)

Although we all know how dangerous and deadly this could be, not to mention how lethal a cats saliva is to a bird. I thought this was cute and wanted to share it. http://video.yahoo.com/watch/5737286?fr=yvmtf

Owen is adorable! Thank you for sharing his story with us.

Uh oh...I dropped it! I LOVE it!!:woohoo:

Cooper is so cute!! That's an adorable video. Thank you for sharing....

WOW! 28 species.....I am amazed at this breed of parrots. Thank you everyone for sharing all this information. B)

I couldn't agree more with everything you all said!

Beautiful photo's Dave!!! If you haven't figured it out by now... I love Amazon's!! :woohoo: :woohoo: But my vote is that each bird is unique in it's own personality. You really can't predict who will get along with who....alot depends on the owner and how they handle the birds.

WOW! I too, love the plexi-glass idea for the top of the cage. I took my tray out because it was dark. What a great idea!!

She's famous!!! How exciting!!!!! Congratulations!!!

Morning update! Just got Rilli up for breakfast. She ate some oatmeal, a little peanut butter toast. She prefers to just stay on my shoulder and preen. She is somewhat quieter than usual. Just wants her mommy... I haven't put anything on her foot, I can't see anywhere that it might hurt her, and I know she would just lick off whatever I put on it. It seems to be the bottom since she holds it up sometimes. Also what ever I put on it would come off as soon as she perches somewhere...:huh:

Greys can cost anywhere from $600-$1600. You will find a variety of prices depending on what part of the US you are in. I had my bird shipped from FL to MA. There are many possibilities. More important than price, is where the bird comes from. Is the breeder a reputable one, etc. Many things to think about when you get a grey. Is it a rescue and if so, are you prepared to handle it's needs if it has any, do you want a baby? You have lots of time, read thru the many topics here, research and know what you can handle. Best of luck to you. We will help you anyway we can. Just ask away!! Welcome to our family!

I personally would wait if I were you. You will have to prove that your bird is not wild caught and it will have to have a health certificat from your vet. You will have to put your bird in a US quarantine for 3 months. That means for 3 months, your bird will not be living with you. After only having it for a short time before going thru all this, I think it would cause a lot of stress and confusion for your bird. Others will have more advice. This is my opinion, too wait and aquire a bird in the US. One final note, you will pay for the quarantine and I don't think its cheap.
