Hi Fran.. So can you tell me where you have been hearing all these good things about us? :) Welcome Fran.. We have a thread we would love to have you post in.. It's called Grey Owner, What do you look like and is found in the main African Grey Room.. Check it out..

Harrison's is regarded as among the best pellets you can feed a Grey. I have had Ceasar on the High Potency Fine formula since we got him home.. By no means it is the only healthy food you can feed your Grey.. There are MANY different pellets that are also very good... Talon and I were talking about this some time ago. You see, given a big enough variety of foods an African Grey will eat what it's body needs in terms of vitamins and minerals.. The problem comes from us not being able to supply ALL the different foods that would make up all the necessary elements for a Grey.. This is where Pellets come in.. Balanced for the Grey, pellets make feeding Greys or any other bird for that matter, easier then otherwise possible. But as far as a certain brand of pellet.. It matters less. It's more important to get your Grey OFF OF a seed based diet as soon as possible. This much most vets will agree on.

Hi everyone.. So much has happened around here since the last State Of The Forum Address that I see a need to do an update for you.. So some time this weekend Im gonna do another address outlining the changes that have happened. Stay tuned right here..

I love the Balsa wood toy idea.. I'm gonna get me some for Ceasar..

You paid by credit card correct? It's easy to fix this. Call your credit card company and deny the charges. Take pictures and send them to your credit card company for your dispute file.. This works, believe me..

Kristin.. The limit is 100 meg

Kristin. It's not gonna be fixed.. Sorry to tell you and the others here that news.. The only way we can have videos is through me posting them for our members.. So, you know the routine.. Email me them

Hi Everyone. CD here posting a new video from Makena. Enjoy.. It's really cute. http://www.greyforums.net/videos/MVI_3127.mov

Vista should work.. I tested these links and it works for me... Not sure what's happening.. but I do need to know.. If you are having a problem I bet others will too..

You got some issues with you machine there girl.. What version Media Player are you using? What operating system?

What happens? Are you clicking save to disk?

Updated Link. http://www.greyforums.net/videos/thankyou.wmv This is a much higher resolution version with no sync problems. For those of you that want to save this video to your hard drive right click it and choose "save as" choose a place on your hard drive and it's yours.. :P

UPDATED: We finally have the ability to host our own Videos. If you have videos you want posted email them to me at venuto@earthlink.net After weeks of working on this.. Here is the State Of The Forum Address the way it's intended to be viewed. No Voice sync problems and complete. http://www.greyforums.net/videos/state1.wmv url

Dan I think it's grainy because the Auto ISO feature you must have is turned ON.. either that or you have it set high for some reason.. It should be set at 200 or less.. What you have here looks to me like it might be 800 or higher.. The higher the ISO the more sensitive to light BUT more grain is the result.. Take a look and tell me what that setting is..

Sherri. It's been 2 days since we heard from you.. What's happening? Silence is not a good thing here..

Hi Dan.. First off I think I know how happy you and Kim are. You finally got your Grey(s) :) Can you imagine that you have over 700 posts and you didn't have a Grey yet.. I can't imagine how many posts you will have this time next year.. :P I love the photo of the two Greys Kissing.. Very nice...

Sara, I'm happy your breeder is making sure that the bird is ready to come home and NOT pushing him out too quickly.. I have seen some horror stories of birds being shipped home way too soon.. It doesn't look like this is the case for you.. and this is a good thing..

Hi Kitty, Welcome to the forum.. I am happy that you come here to "research". Certainly this is the best approach anyone could use. I wish more folks would adopt your approach of reading everything BEFORE actually going out and buying one of these awesome creatures.. You know the opposite is usually to case.. Someone goes out and on a whim purchases a parrot... THEN decides to read about it.. THEN realizes it's not for them and BAM the bird needs to be rescued. So sad. Anyway, we will always be here for people like you Kitty. Don't you worry about that.. When the time comes and you actually buy an African Grey.. You can reward us by posting tons and tons of photos.. Agreed?? :P

Judy, I love the "Karma prize idea". I think the next photo contest we put together will have a 25 karma first prize.. How does that sound?

Judy, OMG.. thank you so very much for some of the kindest words ever spoken about me by anyone here in this forum.. We will have the get together.. I am gonna announce a date soon so everyone can make a plan... We will have to get together every year.. I think it's important for us as a family to do this.. I certainly look forward to seeing as many of my extended family as I can... :P Thanks again Judy...

Born and raised in Brooklyn New York so I guess that qualifies me as a "city boy" Had a really tough time growing up. Been in multiple street gangs.. Been in many "gang fights". I was surprised I made it out in one piece and without being arrested. I played in a rock band and can remember how exciting that was. I was the bass guitarist.. I should have stayed with it. I was sitting in a college economics class one day when I realized I wasn't cut out for any of that.. So looking in the parking lot of the school. Seeing just how many cars there were, I decided to learn how to fix them.. I have always been a car lover.. So this was an easy transition. I enrolled in a automotive school. My first job was at a Chevy Dealership. Then I want on to work for companies like VW, Porsche, Audi, Nissan and Honda at the dealer ship level and just about every other car in my side business. I build a Baja Bug. Race engine, roll cage, modified everything. Loved that car. 28 years later I'm still in the car business but as a Diagnostics Sales Developer for a team of 40 Snap on tool franchisees . I am responsible for the New York Automotive Market. There was a time a few years after I became an auto mechanic that I was at a crossroad between Cars and Photography/Video.. I always had the passion for Photography and Video production. I actually worked on many local TV commercials, rock concerts, Special Olympics and other "events" I chose the auto business because that's what was putting food on the table at the time but I always retained my contacts in the TV/Video business. Still to this day I work projects in both Video and Photography. Mostly corporate stuff these days.. Always a gadget guy my first computer was a Commordore 64.. I've had every computer since that time.. Usually buying a new one every 2 years. Married at 20 years old to my grammar school sweetheart Anna. Yy oldest son Frank IV is 26. Nicholas my next oldest is 19 and I have twin daughters at 15 years old. Had lots of pets. Lots of "fast" cars. Once had a Porsche 911 turbo.. It was the fastest car I ever had.. Easily over 150mph on the highway.. Ask me how I know that.. Got into motorcycles.. Got out alive... Almost went over a cliff when I hit a pile of sand on a windy mountain road on year.. Low sided.. Bike slid OFF the mountain.. I stop just short.. I quess god had other ideas for me.. I love that bike.. It was a BMW K1200RS VERY fast.. Faster then my Porsche... Ask me how I know that.. Anyway.. As you can see I am sort of long winded so I'll pass off to another of our family members now.. Thanks<br><br>Post edited by: CeasarsDad, at: 2007/08/04 15:00
