So far he is doing amazing. I do not think there is a single thing that has scared him. He lets anyone hold him, we went to my nieces birthday party today and I took him with me, he let every one of the kids hold him, my handicapped sister and even got close to the doggies. I plan to keep the socializing going at the most I can do. I want him to be well rounded and not too phobic. He is an awesome grey so far. I know he is still a baby and things will change soon as he gets older. But I just want to keep the aggressiveness, fearful, stressful behavior to a minimum.

Just joined the forum a few days ago. I have found a lot of helpful info here and I'm kind of addicted to this site lol. I stay up all night on here. Can't wait to read more and more. Bringing home my new CAG next weekend.

Ok thank you so much. I'm bring him home next weekend and I'm so excited. I've had other birds but never a CAG! I'm so excited. After years of research and waiting for the right time, I finally decided to get one! I'm kind of nervous and excited. I have done YEARS of researching and waiting but still don't feel like I have enough info. I have a macaw and green cheek, but CAG are just so much more and different!

What are some good ways to start socializing my new baby I am bringing home?

I have been waiting patiently to bring home my baby. I get him in a week and I can't believe it. I've waited THREE long months for this day. I have done SO much research and I still don't feel prepared. I have had other birds, but this is my first CAG. I just need tips on what to do when I first bring him in my home. He will be 15 weeks when I bring him home, he will have an hour and a half long car ride to our home, poor baby will already be freaked out by the time we get home. I can't wait! If he is comfortable with me should I continue to hold him and show him the house? If he isn't should I just put him on/in his cage? I know my to force myself. I'm just anxious and nervous and excited. He will be so much different then my macaw and conures.
