Thanks again katana600, your advice, comments are very much appreciated. The idea of putting together some information is a very good one and I am sure that will help alot.

Thank katana600 for your reply. Yes I will have to be completely sure about his new home before letting him go. It's good to know that people have had great success with rehoming Greys - makes me feel better about this whole thing !

Thanks Vstar Mama for your quick response. I am sure I will miss him more than he will miss me, I just want to make sure he will move on and get close to another human thats all. Thanks again for your reply

Thank you danmcq for your quick reply. I actually live in England. I have a good friend that could look after him but it won't be a permanent home and so he will have to move again - i'd rather not do that to him. I think I will put a notice in my local vets and see if any genuine person will have him for me

I have an African Grey called Charlie who is about 17 years old now. I have had him since he was about 18 months old. My personal situation is about to change - I am renting my home and becoming a full time pet sitter. I will be staying in people's homes to look after their pets while they go on holiday. It's not suitable for me to take Charlie with me on these pets sits. I am thinking of giving him to someone who will look after him for me but I am worried that he will pine for me or not bond with this other person. He has only ever bonded with me and will bite anyone else who goes near him. I am just wondering whether he will learn to forget me I look forward to your views
