Hey guys! I found this place in the midst of my CAG research and everyone here seems so nice and well-informed that I knew I had to join asap! I've been seriously considering getting a CAG for a number of years now. I owned a number of parakeets and cockatiels (as well as a wide variety of other animals) throughout my childhood, but I always knew that I wanted a larger parrot when I got older. I've always been fascinated by animals of high intelligence, so much in fact, that I am pursuing a career as a marine mammal researcher & trainer. Right now I am currently living at home and raising/socializing a guide dog puppy in my spare time, but I plan to be moving into my own place within the next year or so and when I do, I would love nothing more than to make my home complete with the companionship of one of these beautiful birds. I realize it's a while away, but like many things, I like to give myself enough time to do research and build as much knowledge as possible before making such a large commitment. Anyway, I look forward to getting to know you all and learning from your experience as Grey handlers!
