Actually, we are out of the military now, but in short, yes. We live right by Quantico! Dumfries actually. Are you in this area?

Thanks to all for the warm welcome. I will post pics as soon as he arrives!

Hello! We have purchased an almost new 40x30 cage off of Craigslist to replace our old cage. Problem is...there is no perch with it that goes all the way across and Buddy is particular and likes to sit right smack in the middle of his perch that goes from side to side. Anyone know where to get a wooden perch that is 40 inches? I have looked on a few sites and all I see are 36 and 43ish. Is there a way to cut the 43 down? Am I just not seeing them somewhere? Please help! Also, Buddy is quite an escape artist and this cage has the standard 'rotate up and pull through' latches. Is it possible to buy the birdproof latches that I can add to the cage? And what brand are good? I would prefer to shop online but can also go to a store. We are in Northern VA. Thanks!

Hello! I just found this site and so glad that I did! I am Stephanie and my husband and I live in Virginia with our two little boys, a Rottweiler, and soon to be, our 15 yo Congo African Grey, Buddy. We actually just moved back home from overseas. My parents have had Buddy in Texas while we were gone for over three years. We hated to leave him but military orders give you no option and we couldnt take him with us. We are finally being reunited with him (well, Buddy is probably a her as we have never tested for sex and everyone says he looks very feminine :0/ ) this Saturday and are hopeful that he will adjust well to living with us again. He has not been a very happy bird in Tx. He started to pluck about a year ago and my parents have been unable to stop it. So, we have a lot of rehab work ahead to get him happy and healthy again. I look forward to meeting some of you and I am sure I will have lots of questions.
