CritterCrazy

Kenzi could certainly use a sock buddy. We tried with a lightweight material that's used for limbs before they put on the casting and it drove her NUTS! ALL she did was pull on it. We took it off because we felt it was making her MORE stressed. Her WHOLE front is nothing but down feathers and she's been plucking her back and areas on her wings. She's already been to the vet & tested - nothing abnormal, this is all behavoral!

After the fire we had that took my Carlos (1st CAG), I'm still a wee worried and panic if/when I see smoke coming from the direction of our house. It's usually someone burning leaves or whatever but it still weighs on my heart. Thing is, we were home when the house fire happened. We ran out with our kids in hand but by the time we went to go back in to get Carlos and my MIL's dog, well it was too late. That was 14 yrs ago and I still get teary-eyed thinking of her! I'll get to posting some photos soon! Thanks for the warm welcomes!

I thought it was a rule that you had to have more than one bird!

Hi - new to the forum but not new to Greys. Chose the name CritterCrazy because, well, we have a lot of critters living with us. Some say we have a Zoo but I don't think it's quite that bad! (Dog, 5 cats, Bearded Dragon, 5 Sugar Gliders and Kenzi - CAG and soon Oscar the U2). Had a Grey before (actually had several parrots) but Carlos was my all time love. I was told Carlos was a boy when I got him. Nine years later we found out he wasn't a he when HE laid an egg on hubbie's lap! Unfortunately we lost Carlos (she was around 14 yrs old) to a house fire. So we have Kenzi and adore her. She's approx. 5 1/2 months old and is the star of the house! Oh, married with 2 kids (well one just left the nest for college - she's got a Alexandrine with her as a companion); retired Navy but still work Full Time (can't afford not to).
