It have been a little over 8 year since I join and disappear from this group. I joined this group right after I got my baby grey. Today, he is full grown with a little attitude but over all still a good bird. I see him as my child

As everyone knows i brought an african grey which was only 4 weeks olds. I brought it because it was cheap and compulse for only $500 It was too good of a deal to pass. We had no experience or any sort but was we quickly learn how to be on top of things.We feed him out of a cup instead of a suring As of today, he is full grown and is doing great. We notice as he was growing up, it always purr like a cat or growe as a dog. We never heard a sweeking sound only when he was at 4 week. We are planning to get a electrus or a cockatoo around 7-8 week later on. To my opinion, the young parrot handraise by it owner tend to be more friendlier "My own experience verse my friends" Here is all the pic from the 1st day we got him til today. We are not planning to take anymore since all the feathers are grown out and nothing else noticeable can be seen.

anyone brought any and actually try it?

I saw some ad online selling parrot eggs. Do people really sell eggs?

July 15 2007,Sunday 8-9 weeks. Brought his new cage on sat. from a bird show. Here is some updated pic with his/her new cage. http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb51/Ma12cus504/3-1.jpg http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb51/Ma12cus504/2-2.jpg http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb51/Ma12cus504/1-2.jpg

How come i dont see anyone else doing a weekly update like me Seem like i am the only one doing it

I notice that the response always tend to lend toward the side of whatever forum i am in. I posted the same question on the snake forum, everyone on there went crazy. Alot of them dont know anything about parrot and try to say the typical myth about them. But so far, they are much more hostile then this forum

Base on what i got from everyone both from the snake forum and this forum. I came to relize that snake and parrot are two different things. Snakes are more like a display....as same to aquarium to Parrot as more to a companionship thanx for everyone help

Anyone here have myspace ? I want to add some buddy on myspace my user name is Ma12cus504@yahoo.com

They say snake are alot smarter then an african grey, since they can determine who the owner is and can are more affection then CAG

every since i start taking weekly pic, I look forward every sunday to really compare. I cant really tell the different without the pic since i see him everyday

I once kept 13 snake, but until 2 month ago I sold them all to buy my 1st African grey. I was wondering if i made the right choice. Base on my analysis, I think the african grey would make a better companion and cost wise. Base on 1 Snake vs 1 parrot: snake = $5 weekly feeding plus special lighting = $25 monthly CAG = $25 feeds for 3 month = $8 monthly Snake law is getting tougher versus bird little or no law. It not base all on money wise, but i really think CAG really communicate and response to us better. On the snake forum, those people think otherwise. They all say i was stupid and shouldnt waste my time with birds. I know each forum will defend their creature I am open minded to all response Thank you

My CAG right now is about 7-8weeks, i am looking to find the best place to buy pellet for him/her. I heard harrison pellet is the best, but i wondering if anyone know where to get some at best price. Where do everyone get their pellet from in the USA? And what do you feed your CAG? Any help will be greatly appricated

The local newspaper is always a good start. That is where i find mine. I check the paper every week until it shows Patient is the key
