Hi Saskia and welcome to the grey forum.
I also saw the documentary Parrot confidential a number of times and it is heartbreaking.
It`s good to see someone take the time to try and understand the parrots point of view. You are the kind of person that would make a good companion for a grey.
When you take on a grey you become their flock and you can have some very strong bonds.
Parrots do have a mating season just like dogs and cats and each parrot acts in there own way, but in the end it`s you they want to be with.
My Congo grey Corky is very well socialized and will and will interact with most people.
People she don`t like are the same people I don't like
A well socialized and bonded parrot is a happy parrot and a joy to be around.
Corky has also traveled all over the U.S. with us and enjoys going places with us
If you love them forever, they will love you forever.
My grey Corky is a great traveler and has been all over the U.S. with us, 25 states to be exact.
In one trip we were gone for a month in our motor home and covered over 6000 miles.
We never leave her, when we go she goes.
She loves it and has over 40,000 miles under belt
Weather its our car, puck up, SUV or motor home, when her travel cage comes out, she is ready.
Welcome to the grey forum.
As you have read you can see that greys are a very important part of our lives and their well being is No. 1 in our lives.
Read all you can and make sure that there is a lot of room in your lives for a grey to fit into.
I took your survey and would like to add that Greys are a very complicated being, just like child.
A grey in the wild and a grey in your home live in two different worlds yet they share the same needs.
They need food, water, shelter, a need to protect them self and socialize with other to live.
Hi slave4pets, and welcome to you, Zeus and Loki to the grey forum and Crickets Amazon room.
I just read your post about Zeus and Loki and I want to thank you for taking in these two needy Zons into your home.
There are a number of good sticky post for you to read to help you get started.
I have been away from the forum for a couple of days, but I will get back to you.
Until than approach them in a nonthreatening manor, speak softly, observe and enjoy them for who they are.
We have a friend who Is a heavy smoker and has the cough to go with it.
Corky has the cough down pat and at the end of the cough she clears her throat like a sailor to clear the phlegm.
When she dose that she turns a lot of heads.
