Thank you very much guys. I will try that. And I'm sorry figured I'd post under my 1st post. I'll roam around a bit and try and learn more about forums. Thanks again

Hi guys quick question. In the middle of the night last night all was quiet and then a loud thump from inside my Greys cage. I believe she fell off her perch while sleeping. . Has this happened to anyone else? I checked on her and she was climbing back up and fine. But I've never had that happen before. She is great today playing inside and outside of her cage

Thank you so very much

Thank you so very much.

Hopefully I added the pics

The previous owner called her or him .. Pierre... but they said he or she didn't respond to it. My 9 year old and I haven't figured out a name yet but are thinking about... Bella, Baby, my 9 year old likes puffy .. But haven't decided yet. I can upload a picture will do that shortly

Hi everyone. I just rescued a beautiful 15 year old Congo Grey yesterday. I fostered a friend of mine's Grey and Amazon for a few years about 10 years ago. When she moved out of state with her boyfriend but due to their relationship ending she moved home and wanted her parrots back. While I was fostering her parrots me and her Grey became very good friends. Everywhere I went he went with me. I was devastated when she wanted them back. But gave them back because I have a good heart and it was the right thing to do. I finally found a Grey and was able to adopt it yesterday after looking for almost a year. I remember a lot of the care and foods that are good and bad for Greys. But I'm sure their are things that I have forgotten over the years. I found your forum just now and decided to join. Due to my Grey going from home to home I know nothing about his or her background and unfortunately the lady had no paperwork for him or her. It was left in its cage all the time with just 1 toy. That's a sad and boring life I brought him or her home last night and left her in the cage . I was told she is a girl. But I put her in the living room where she can see and hear everyone. Fore she is a part of our family now and is finally in her forever home. I spoke to her yesterday and was very shocked when she laughed at me and whispered something that I could not understand . I was told she makes no sounds or talks. I did not adopt her for their speaking ability. I asked the lady how long she had her for and she said 3 months. She said she was told her previous owner is a male and he died and the Grey dislikes men. I'm a little confused about that.. but no big deal for she is my bird and I am a female. She couldn't tell me why she is getting rid of her and quickly changed the subject. She looks to be in good health . Her feathers are not plucked for the most part even though I did see 1 small area under her 1 wing that is bald. The reason why I am posting this is if anyone could give me any advise I will take any and all I can get.. I am giving her space but after having her for 24 hours I opened the door and she came out and is now on top of her cage playing with a few toys and I was able to feed her a hard boiled egg and a few grapes. She is eating and drinking. I asked the lady what she fed her and she said just pellets. No table food besides pasta every now and then . If I am correct which I did go on the Internet and look. Parrots should be fed ... fruits .. vegetables. .. pellets.. etc.. I hope the Internet is correct. But like I said any advice on foods etc.. will be greatly appreciated. I know I probably should of gave her another day in her cage but I felt so bad with her always in it. So I opened it when she was talking . Whistling and interacting with me and my 9 year old. She has not came down off her cage top so she does look happy.. sorry this is so long. Thanks in advance. I called my vet and made a wellness appt just to make sure she is in good health and may do a dna test. Unfortunately she has no band on her leg
