Thank you Tracy, and a BIG thank you Dan, for the key, wow I have the key, I can't believe it, lucky me. I was just joshing you but since you gave me the key, maybe I will do it more often, you reckon!!!!! Penny is, what can I say but the best friend one could have, is smart, compassionate and a very caring person.

Thanks for getting back with us on this subject, I wondered about this but glad that all is well.

I don't see why not, if thats what you want to do. You would be making a fresh start with a new name, but it might take a while for it to respond to it. I would assume just calling it by the new name would eventually get it to associate that name with itself, repeating it over each time you talk to it, use it in your conversations with it.

I guess I got skipped, oh well, who cares. Dan is quickly becoming the smartest man on this forum, he knows so much it is simply amazing.

Thanks, Tracy, you are a good woman.

Tracy is a lovely woman, knows a lot about greys since she has 3 of them and she is becoming a very good friend to me.

You are a very generous man, Joe, and you will have many offers for that cookbook, including me. What time is dinner served Sunday? I'll be right over.

I give Josey that red palm oil every day and her feathers look very nice, now I know why. We do have a good bunch of knowledgeable people here on this forum, and Dan especially is becoming the "go to" man for his wealth of information.

She should be the best grey owner on the planet, she asked enough questions to fill a 6 inch binder.:laugh: Other prospective grey owners should do at least some of the research she had done before they purchase, and she will be prepared for that day when she finally becomes a grey owner.

I am having deer burger fixed in sloppy joes tonight, my son is coming in for a visit. But count me in for the filet mignon, it is my favorite cut of beef. No sauce on mine, I like just a little salt. Yummy, my mouth waters at the thought.

You got that right, Joe, it is the insurance companies calling the shots. What happened to good old fashioned personal care, its money, money, money. Glad she is doing ok and glad she is finally home, and I know you are going to take excellent care of her. Treat her like a little princess, and I would do the same. Oh boy, that sounds like a fine meal on Sunday, can I come over for some?

You are so right, Dan, kids tend to be running, jumping, and generally doing quick movements that greys don't like and that is why he got bit, he was just trying to hold on. Maybe its time grandpa gave the younguns an education in handling their birds.

I second your comment, Tracy, maybe they will see this and start doing it, right, and I have some swamp land in Florida I will sell to you too.:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

You have a TAG don't you, I can tell by the tail feathers. The picture is a little out of focus, if you could post another one that is clearer we would have a better idea of what you are talking about. Thanks.

Don't get a kink in your shorts, Dan, I was just trying to get you riled up and I succeeded, score one for me. Josey is a size 8 shoe womens, FYI. You have put a smile and a laugh on my face and I thank you for that. :laugh:

Lets ask Nevjoe about this bottlebrush wood playgyms, he would know about them. I haven't heard of it either before Kitty put this up on site.

Thanks, Tracy, for your answer, Dan just ignored my question but I will get him for that. I just wanted to know what size boxes to look for.

Then it looks like to me you are going to have to wait until you are married or out of the house to get that grey. It is your parent's home so they make the rules. Loviechick gave you some excellent advice, and I cannot add much but you are the one with the decision and I know you will make the best one and if that means you have to wait, then you wait. It is like having children, it is a lifelong committment and is not to be taken lightly, just like marriage. We will stand by you whatever decision you make and I won't ask you to give us any more questions, you have asked more than any one person I know. Not complaining, so don't get your feathers ruffled, just stating a fact. I know you want a grey real bad but it might not be the best time to get one, so think this over long and hard before you do anything else.

We all learn a lot from Dan, and I am going to learn more for I am going to pick his brain very soon, I need his help with something. He probably could have been a vet, he has an analytical mind and is a good problem solver.

OMG, but I think it is a minor setback though, nothing to worry about I hope. Glad she is otherwise doing ok, and thanks for keeping us informed. If things change please let us know, this girl of yours is becoming very dear to us.

Yum, yum, sounds and looks like some good eating. But I had a real steak last night, not the kind made from hamburger, not that yours isn't good too, but mine was better. We southern people know how to cook and eat, that is for sure. But you are from a different part of the south, Texas isn't it, I am from Virginia which is rebel country. We love our fried chicken, country ham, brown beans, cornbread, grits, gravies and an assortment of cakes and pies. I gotta stop, I am making myself hungry. I guess every region has their own specialities, but it all sounds good to me.

Shame on you Dan, for bashing the United States Postal Service, but hey the truth hurts, it is true that the higher stamps go, the worse the service, and thats a shame. How big a boxes are you all talking about, what would be the approximate dimensions of some you offer for them to tear up?

I knew our resident advisor would clarify this subject for us and in record time, thanks Dan, I knew we could count on you for excellent advice.

You can be the one who gives her the treats, that would help, but there is not much you can do about who she chooses to like better. You may just have to accept that she will prefer your gf over you, so don't take it personally. Keep talking to her and don't push for more than she is willing to give, or you could lose what affection she gives to you now. Thanks for updating this for us, we care about you and Meeka, she sounds like a very sweet grey.

I don't provide one for Josey, but not sure about it, I know you do provide one for some of the smaller birds, like keets and finches. Maybe some of the other members has more information they will share with us, Toni.
