Stephanie, I would just kind of let him keep the routine he is used to for now and gradually change it as time goes by. He has enough to take in right now with his new home and surroundings, you don't want to overwhelm him so soon.

Well so glad to hear that things are going great for you and Gryphon, he is going to settle in nicely with you, thanks for the wonderful update.

Thats bullcrap, some greys do not talk until they are over 1 year of age and that included mine and there are some that might not talk until older. I don't know where you heard that but not an ounce of truth to it.

Hello Betsy and welcome to the family, so glad you could join us and we look forward to hearing more about you and Sparky. Have you had Sparky all of those 5 years or did you just recently get him?

Congrats on the hatching of new babies, your wait for a baby grey is about to come to an end, I know you probably feel like it has taken forever but soon you will have it home with you, keep us updated and be sure to share some pics if you get any.

Have you considered taking Oscar to live with you? If he has picked you as his favorite then maybe your parents would allow you to keep him but that does not solve the other problem. Some greys are more needy than others and suffer from separation anxiety, they do not like to be left alone much. You will have to find some things to occupy his mind and his time to keep him busy enough to now pluck or otherwise damage his feathers. We have some members here who can offer you some excellent advice on this plus we have loads of info in our many threads. Why don't you introduce yourself in the welcome room and tell us a little more about you.

Jim I am so sorry that Rigel had to go thru that this morning but like previously said animals do pick up on stuff like that before we do. I live in VA and even though earthquakes are quite rare they can happen but I have never experienced one and hope I never do. Let us know how soon he calmed down and how he is now.

Hello Jennifer and welcome to the family, so glad you could join us and we look forward to hearing more about you and Cisco.

Hello Mitch and welcome to the family, so glad you could join us and we look forward to hearing more about you and Trigger. That is a wonderful name for a grey, did he come with that name or is it one you gave him after you acquired him? He is a nice looking Tag and quite the character it seems bybeing very fascinated with the tiels long tails, just be sure to supervise any activity beween them.

Thanks for the pictures Berna, the chimp took a shining to you huh:laugh: thats so funny!! Charge that camera so we can see some bird pictures and stay away from the chimp:whistle: :lol:

Yvette, I knew your mom was very sick but this is terrible news about your fiance and I can't imagine what you are going thru. I will keep you, your mom and your fiance in my thoughts and prayers but hang in there Yvette.

Well congrats Penny on yet another accomplishment with Rikki, she is adjusting to her new forever home very nicely I must say. I am proud of her and you for what you have done for Rikki, she is a very lucky Cag.

Bryan, I am so glad to hear you are home, wow it was no fun huh and that is scary to hear you had some complications but you came thru with flying colors. I have no doubt that Loki missed you very much, they do get attached to us very quickly and that makes you feel so good when she is so happy to see you and Kim got a little one on one time with her too. I do believe you have found someone to be a sitter for Loki when you have to go out and leave her, hope Laura feels the same way, but I'm sure she does. So happy you are back with us Bryan:) B)

If that is what the night time temperatures are going to be then she will get used to it, if you are comfortable with it then she will be too.

She may be testing you for the honeymoon is over, she is settling into her new home and she is going to see just what she can get away with. My Josey can be that way sometimes but she always steps up when I ask but sometimes a little reluctantly. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Sure

I can't wait Berna, that sounds like fun, wish we had something like that around here.

Nina, thanks for sharing that story with us, I enjoyed it very much.

Hello Caz and welcome to the family, so glad you have decided to join us and we look forward to hearing more about you and Alfie.

Now thats the picture I want to see, can you get us a picture of Roscoe on the dog's back?

Thats cute and I assume you supervise all the time they are out together but they look like they get along real well, that is funny to see him chasing the dog that way.:laugh: :lol: :laugh:

Thats wonderful Gina, you are a go getter all right, can't wait to see the website. Thats great that you make and give toys to the avian rescue in your area, how generous of you to donate some of the proceeds of the sales also, I hope you get a lot of participation from the members here.
