HappyBailey

Hello Jayd, thank you for your opinion. We can take Bailey with much more confidence now. The staff there are extremely knowledgeable and often take their own bird there for the day but I still had slight doubts about him going there. I also agree that Bailey won't be too worried about other birds in close proximity as long as he knows they are safe. My dad said he was flying around the pet shop like a goodun interacting with the other animals. We are also in contact with the staff so we can keep tabs to make sure everything is going well. I have a few more videos I tried to post earlier but I got an error message, I'll try to re-post them

I'm not in a situation where I can keep Bailey all day. If it was up to me I'd do as you say and wait but it's out of hands as my dads keeping him. There were quite a few parrots paired up with each other grooming at Lincolnshire wildlife park, Caroline said that they pair up a lot. I thought this would be better for some parrots than forming that same bond with a human.

Okay, Bailey lives in Manchester with my dad. My dad wants to give him to a good home/place for free rather than selling him to someone who may not have the best intentons for Bailey. Caroline who works at Lincolnshire wildlife park and is a parrot owner herself said they are planning to move the African Greys to another enclosure currently occupied by the macaws.

Hello everyone, my dad who is an absolute plonker has decided he can no longer look after Bailey (African grey) as he wants to come out of retirement and look for work again. After going down to have a look he has decided that Lincolnshire wildlife park is the best place for Bailey. I know every parrot is different so I will tell you a bit about Bailey; he is 11 years old and spent his whole life with an elderly couple before my dad bought him from a pet shop 3 years ago. He is okay with strangers but will back away if they get too near, when up 8 family members have visited he has been fine and even tries to get in on the chatter. He flew onto my nephews shoulder for a minute or 2 the first time they'd met. It did take him 6 months for him to step up but he would normally accept treats. He is going to Lincolnshire Wildlife park on Thursday. Do you guys have any advice for transporting him etc? I've posted some photos and videos of him. One is of Lincolnshire wildlife park just over a month ago. 20180405_173344.mp4 LWP.mp4 Use1.mp4
