{Feel-bad-0002006A} I don't have any pics of Josey when she was that little.

Hello Chmuhammad and welcome to the family, so glad you decided to join us and we look forward to hearing more about you and your desire to have a grey. Mark, aka dblhelix, has given you some excellent advice to consider before making the plunge into getting two greys. Please think this over carefully before you commit yourself to getting them. Do read thru the many threads for lots of useful and helpful information that will help you in making your decision, but we will help you in any way we can if you do go ahead and get these greys.

See he won't stay mad forever, some just take a little more time to get over a harrowing experience but he will be fine, you just go enjoy yourself.

Hell Tawney and welcome to the family, so glad you could join us and we look forward to hearing more about you and Congo. It was just meant for you to have this grey, he selected you and fortunately for you his present owners recognized the fact that he didn't belong with them but with you. Take a little time and read thru the many threads for lots of useful information and do not hesitate to ask questions you may have, we will do our best to get you some answers and help you in any way we can. If you have any pictures of Congo you would like to share with us we would love to see him. If you need help with the pictures read the FAQ section there is a piece on posting pics on the site.

I think Vaskur will be ok, he probably is in a bad mood at the moment because he saw the same man who did a bad thing to him before but if you give him a little time he will get over it. Don't cancel your plans, you cannot live your life around the moods of your grey, he will be fine while you are gone especially if he is used to your friend who is keeping him while you go on vacation. Go enjoy yourself and see what he is like when you get back, it may surprise you and be more like his old self and happy to see you.

Mark he is probably reacting to the tension and stress in your house right now and that is understandable, everyone is upset and a lot of emotions are going on with the recent event in your family's life. I think in time when you and your family settle down and get back to a more normal routine he will be back to more like himself. I know this is frustrating but give him time just like it will take time for you to heal from your loss. Hang in there Mark.

That is a lovely poem Mark, very sad but if it gives you comfort then I am pleased. I have been thinking of you so much the last few days for I know your heart is breaking but we are here for you if you need us.:kiss:

And that is one thing we can count on with Dave is his great posts, his infinite wisdom and of course his wit and humor, thats why I think so highly of him, of course Dan isn't bad either:whistle:

I can say that my Josey, a DNA'd female is bonded to me and I don't believe that myth either.:whistle:

You will have to supervise the out of cage time with your new grey if you allow the dog in the room at the same time, you can never fully trust a dog not to go after the birds.

Jack is a sweetie all right Tracy and so glad you are enjoying him, he has a new loving home and he is so blessed. Thanks so much for sharing him with us.

Sometimes you do Dan and confuse this simple country girl but don't shoot yourself just yet:laugh:

Dan you articulate very well but sometimes you just have to come out and say exactly what it is you are trying to say and that is them sitting outside in the fresh air even with a breeze blowing is not going to harm them, as well as opening a few windows to freshen the air, thanks for clearing that up for us.:whistle: :laugh: :blink: B)

Yes I remember that Heather and I am so glad to hear they have cleaned up their store and are taking better care of their pets. You certainly did the right thing and so happy that grey got a good home. Thanks for updating us about that Heather, we can make a difference, we just have to speak up about it.

Yes they are and just give them a big pan of water and watch the fun:laugh: :blink: :laugh: thanks so much Heather for sharing them with us, I just love the little baby animals.:kiss:

Maybe she is Caroline and she didn't do too bad a job with it either:laugh: thanks Siobhan for sharing that with us, love those glads.

Already been taken care of Falconeer, Tracy is on top of it but thanks for pointing it out:P

Hello Javier and welcome to the family, so glad you could join us and we look forward to hearing more about you and your new grey to be. You came to the right place if you need answers to questions about the grey and general information as we have many, many threads for you to read thru for lots of useful and helpful information. Post a question and we will do our best to get you an answer as quickly as possible and we will help you in any way we can. Do you have any other birds at the moment? Have you ever had parrots before? Do you own any other pets? I know I am full of questions but it helps to get to know you better to have a little info about you.

Lucky you Tracy, but you will have to take me to see her when I come over so I can visit with all her greys, wow she has a bird room too, what a setup. Thanks Lesley for sharing some pics of some of your greys, they are all gorgeous. :) B)

I guess depending on what material it is made of some will bend pretty easily and some will require a pair of pliers or some other instrument to bend it into shape, I wouldn't want to spend good money on one either.:dry:

Hello Lesley and welcome to the family, so glad you decided to join us and we look forward to hearing more about these ten pet greys. WOW, you have a lot of greys and especially as pets and that doesn't even include your five pair of breeder greys, I must say you love your greys. All these birds and the other animals must keep you very busy but I bet you love every minute of it, I can imagine the mess that 10 greys would make as I only have one and a sun conure. If you think you don't already know everything there is to know about the grey you can read thru the many threads here for lots of useful information. Please feel free to ask any questions if you should have any and we will do our best to get you some answers and help you in any way we can. If you have some pictures of all these greys you would like to share with us we would love to see them. BTW, I wonder who the member is that you already know, it wouldn't be Tracy would it:whistle:

Well you have quite a menagerie of animals there, I think a lot of us have dogs and cats, we do love our pets whatever they are. Yes greys are my favorite too, they certainly are amazing creatures as you well know with one that is 9 years old. They are lucky to have an outside aviary to spend the nice days in safety, wish I had one. You have a nice weekend

Rheashard that makes a lot of sense, but I just figured that because we keep our birds indoors away from any kind of drafts that was the reason drafts were bad for them, they are not used to it like they would be in the wild. They can get away from some wind but not all of it being outside and exposed to the elements. Well lets let Dan ponder this one for a bit and he can give his belly button a rest.:blink: :laugh:

Jennifer this is what most greys do, they pick a favorite person and it is not necessarily the one that feeds and does all the care for them. And she is probably more favorable to men as a man was her caregiver. There is nothing you can do to if she has picked your husband as her favorite but you can still have a relationship with her but in a slightly different way. She will favor him but if you are the one to give her the treats and such she will be more accepting of you. Maybe you can interact with her when he is not in the room for if he is there she will naturally gravitate towards him. If she is your bird and not his then you do all the feeding, cleaning and playing with her that will help make her more accepting of you. Hope this helps and others will chime in with more helpful info for you too.

Hello Jennifer and welcome to the family, so glad you decided to join us and we look forward to hearing more about you and Elmo and Hailey. So now you have two greys, a Tag and a Cag, how old is Elmo and did you get him as a baby too? I assume you have them in separate cages as they may or may not get along with each other. Do you have any other birds or pets? Take a little time and read thru the many threads for lots of useful information and do not hesitate to ask questions you may have, we will do our best to get you some answers and help you in any way we can. If you have some pictures of Elmo and Hailey you would like to share with us we would love to see them.
