Harley, I am so very sorry for this devastating news. You are doing all you can right now, Just love him and we here, will all pray for him. Please keep us posted. We care about all our family member birds here.

I have a TAG.

That's a cute story. He sounds like one very smart bird!

Hi Kerosene and Welcome to our family. You'll love it here. I look forward to seeing pictures and hearing more!

Hello and Welcome to our Family! I look forward to hearing more from you!

Hi Lusya and Welcome! I look forward to hearing more!

Hi Caryl, and Welcome to our family. I look forward to hearing more from you.

Judy, one of my best friends in my life. Congratulations on reaching 5000 posts! That is an amazing accomplishment for only being a member here since May of this year. Being a bookeeper among other things, I did the math, and that equals out to an average of 33 posts per day! Your posts are always so thoughtful, caring, helpful, informative and full of wit and fun. There is never a dull moment around here, even when the regulars aren’t here. You always manage to spark some fun every time. You are a wonderful asset to this forum, and I know we all feel very lucky to have you here as the contributing member that you are, and the wonderful person and friend that you have been to every member here. I know I feel very blessed and honored to call you my “best friend”. CONGRATULATIONS GIRL FRIEND! YOU GO GIRL!! Lots of Love, Penny

Judy, I did lose 15 pounds since I started running and cutting out all the junk food I was eating. Now it's just maintaining the weight I am now. That means I step on the scale every day, which determines what I get to eat for the day.

Yes, the others give good advice. He is quite young, scared, and needs reassurance. Please give him lots of time to adjust to his new world that he yet knows anything about. He is scared, and needs plenty of love and patience. Our grey was 8 1/2 weeks when we got her, so I know what you are going through. He will come around a little at a time as he feels comfortable. Don't push yourself on him, as he will learn to fear you. He will be fearful at this early stage.

Yes, I would love to know................... Don't make me come down there and find them myself{Characters-0002005F}!!

GOOD GIRL Judy !! I had a candy bar and one Reeses peanut butter cup! B)

Well due to the cold weather..... I bought a treadmill. I will still run outside as much as possible, but I HATE the cold, so on those days, I will run on the treadmill inside, with the window open and a fan blowing so I don't get too hot. :laugh: I have maintained the same weight for most of the summer and fall, but that is fine with me. I'm not looking to lose weight. Sounds like you are doing great Judy! You really sound motivated! Everyone else, I love that you keep up on the weekly check in's, we all need to know that we are not in this alone! Keep up all the hard work! You will start to feel so much better with each passing day.

JUDY! Where did all the handsome men go? Are they out trick or treating? Or do you have them all hidden away in some secret room somewhere.............. if you do, let them out to play! :woohoo:

Here is the link to a thread that refers to books on Greys, Also,look in the Training Room for more info. http://www.greyforums.net/forums/training/21728-favorite-grey-books.html#21728

How old is she? She obviously loves him very much!

I know a lot of people buy birds without a guarantee of any kind. Some do. I had one shipped from Florida to Massachusetts with no guarantee whatsoever.B)

Hi Angie and welcome! I look forward to hearing more from you.

Hi & Welcome to our family. I look forward to hearing more from you.

Mandi, I'm sorry to see you go. I hope it's not forever. Please do pop in and touch base with us every now and again. We would enjoy hearing from you. Best of Luck to you, we'll miss you!

NO, not unless you have done your research first!

Ronda, OMG! What a horror story!! You poor thing. But I'm glad all worked out well. Seems Heart is no worse for the wear. I had Talon shipped to me from Florida, so I know the apprehension you had, and can't imagine all you went through. I am so happy for you. I can't wait for pictures!! :woohoo:

OMG! What a horrible set of expectations you have! If you had done your homework, and researched Greys, you would know that most don’t like to be touched. Also, you would know that as they mature and get older, their likes and dislikes will change. When any responsible person purchases or adopts a pet, you do so with UNCONDITIONAL love. To just dispose of a pet and disrupt it’s life because it doesn’t behave the way you want it to, is immature and selfish. My heart breaks for this bird that you own, as he did nothing wrong to deserve being given away. But I do believe it is in his best interest to find a home and a person that will love and care for him unconditonally. He deserves that at the very least. I hope you give him away to a loving home, as he obviously doesn’t have one now. I’m not trying to put you down here, you obviously don’t really understand a Greys personality, but you need to grow up, do your research, BEFORE you get another bird, and learn from this mistake you obviously made.

Ronda, OMG! What a horror story!! You poor thing. But I'm glad all worked out well. Seems Heart is no worse for the wear. I had Talon shipped to me from Florida, so I know the apprehension you had, and can't imagine all you went through. I am so happy for you. I can't wait for pictures!! :woohoo:
