How do I post pictures that I have on my hard drive on my computer to this forum

The cage had to tip side ways to fit into the cab of the truck - I think we will eventually get her a bigger cage, put do not want to make any changes for a while. Today she said her name twice, a couple of chatters/whistles & said water when I put in her water dish ------ taking in slow : )

We got Coco yesterday afternoon. We brought her home in her cage, it did fit inside my truck, she stayed on the perch & proceeded to eat some of the pellet/seeds/nuts that fell out of her cups & seemed fine. She seems to be adjusting okay - is eating & drinking. Not nervous ( I don't think) I am a new parrot owner & from reading books & from links on this forum his gestures, etc seem good. I am taking it slow - and it seems to be working. She has make a little bit of noise -- a couple of whistles and chatter this morning, she seems to be just taking everything in around her. I think this forum is great.... I intend to go hear to search out some FAQ if needed and also if I have specific questions for our new African Grey-Coco

My friend gave me a small animal/pet cage she has transported her parrots in when she brings them to the vet. Even though I am getting her & her cage, I should put her in smaller cage to travel in ?

I am going Monday afternoon to pick up Coco... I am also buying her cage and she has food & other supplies too that go along with her. What is the best way to transport her to my house ? They live 20 minutes away.

I know we can't wait, need to make sure this weekend I have everything I need here at my house. It is great that the family is living only 20 minutes away so I can continue to ask questions. I also have a good friend that has an African Grey who can also help me & this Forum I am sure will come in handy too

I did go and meet Coco today and we are going to take her home next Monday. I did spend about 1 hour there with the owner & her daughter, she was a bit talkative when I was there, not too shy. She made a bit more noise/conversation when we went into the kitchen but could still hear us. I have asked the Mom to write down routine, favorite foods etc. The live only 20 minutes from me and said even once I take her home that I can call her if I have any more questions. I probably will use this forum too to help me with her life with us. Thanks for the input so far

Thank you for the quick reply. I have adopted 2 dogs and have horses too and know that having these pets are a lifetime commitment. I will do some more research and have written questions ready when I speak with the person tomorrow about "Coco"

I have been looking at the possibility of getting a 2 year old African Grey. The person selling the bird is moving and cannot take the bird with them. The owner is getting back in touch with me tomorrow. What kind of questions should I ask the owner. I am new to Parrot ownership, so not sure what I could/should ask her about. I heard that they bond better when bought when younger. We do have someone home all the time at our house, my husband & I are retired, but we don't go too many places. Thank you in advance for any help !
