Well right now I feel pretty low, I was weighed Monday and I have gained a pound, I have been so ashamed that it took a few days to absorb it all before I could admit it to my friends here. I guess I have been eating more than I should and I have slipped some on the exercise, I need to shake it up a bit. Right now I also have a cold and sore throat so am not feeling very well but when this is over I am going to refocus on my goal and come up with something to make it happen for me. Maybe I just need a good swift kick in the rear, any takers:S

I do that Sandra but I think I need a major overhaul on mine, it is so slow these days and I am not the computer whiz that some here are.B)

Thanks Sandra for the wonderful ideas and suggestions and it sounds like you and Merlin have quality time together making these toys, that is so precious. Would you consider sharing a couple of pictures of some of your creations with us to give some others an idea of how they could do the same thing with so little?

Thats wonderful news Hannah, you have a regular little acrobat there in Juji, enjoy her and be proud of yourself.

Dollar store buys are great finds too as is the baby departments in stores, some great toys there for greys. Thanks Brittany for the suggestion, karma for you:)

Gosh its only been a day and I miss her so much, and she did just get a new one just recently, must have been a lemon or a dud, hurry Tracy and get back on. I'm so lonely I could cry{Feel-bad-0002006A}

I figured that was what Kim kept on you, isn't that what men say women are, their ball and chain!!!:laugh: You are lucky that I even feel like joking today, I am at home today with a cold and sore throat, feeling a little under the weather.

Thanks for pointing that out Dan, admin can move it later, but I have heard this one before and maybe here but who cares, its so funny it bears repeating:laugh:

A ten-pound ball and chain works for you Dan, I doubt it will for a grey:pinch: ROTFLMAO :laugh: I couldn't resist that one Dan:P

Hello Knight05 and welcome to the family, so glad you joined us and we look forward to hearing more about you and this so far nameless grey. I like those two names you picked out, would be very suitable for greys but I guess you don't have a preference for one sex over the other just want to know what it is for naming purposes. Take a little time and read thru the many threads for lots of useful information and do not hesitate to ask lots of 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 your grey you would like to share with us we would love to see them.

I second Dan's suggestion, this is not normal for a grey and a vet check is a must, being a female and 3 years old she could be eggbound, not likely but in any case she needs medical attention. When this is resolved why don't you introduce yourself in the welcome room and tell us a little more about you and this Tag you have.

Thanks Soibhan for the link and thanks to you Dan for the suggestions for things greys can shred that don't cost money. Another suggestion is bore a hole thru an entire old phone book and hang it in their cage with a chain thru it, will provide hours of shredding entertainment.

Oh I am so excited for you, this is always a special time in going to pick out the one for you and I look forward to seeing some pics of the new baby, we just love to look at them as they are so adorable:)

Dan is right, we do love to see our greys wag their tail for it means they are relaxed and content. Why don't you introduce yourself in the welcome room and tell us a little more about you and your grey.

Hey, Berna was the one to bring that up but I assume she meant if one of her birds got a booboo she could put aloe straight from the plant on it for it is safe, but glad you liked the phrase, does sound better than the old door knob story!!:laugh: I know that once they dry off after being sprayed they are softer and smell good, you know not that "dirty bird" smell:P

Yes you do Claire for it is possible that one of your birds could possibly be harbouring some kind of disease or an infection of some sort that just hasn't become apparent yet, just to be on the safe side. Good luck in meeting the babies, it could be that one of them will pick you and I can imagine your excitement, I would be too, let us know how it goes.

Glad to have you back Muse and so happy that you passed and hopefully with flying colors so to speak. I hear ya and understand that obligations have to be met but you are back now and ready for action.

Thanks Laurie for the glowing endorsement of Stephen King's latest books, I am a fan of his also and have read most of his works but not these two, I will get my hands on them and give them a good read soon.

I just love that grey animation you have there in your post Amy, its so cute:P

Hello Lace and welcome to the family, so glad you could join us and we look forward to helping you get that bird you want and if it can be a grey then we are tickled pink. Most bird people would say to not get a grey if you have never had birds before but since your fiance has bird experience then that makes a difference. If you are willing to put forth the effort to give one what it needs and wants then you have come a long way towards that goal. If you haven't already take some time and read thru the many threads for lots of useful information and ask questions if you have any. We will do our best to get you some answers and help you in any way we can. BTW, that is an unusual name for a man, I would like to hear the story of how you came to be named that if you would like to share that with us sometime.

Dang it, I can't handle this, Tracy, you are one of my best friends, please get back on ASAP for I will miss you dearly:( {Feel-bad-0002006A}

Oh, do you have birdy booboos Berna, is this on the bird or on you?:laugh:

Marlene use it straight from the bottle, not watered down at all, it is perfectly safe.

I wonder how long it will take Dayo to forget that sound, probably not as soon as Dan would like I'm sure.:laugh:

Yep they are, glad mine is a girl too:kiss:
