Hello! Does anyone have information on a 1/2 TAG, 1/2 CAG parrot? I have a source that has both a TAG and CAG that breed accidentally and now have eggs. Would there be anything to watch out for if purchasing one of these birds, i.e. - health concerns? TIA

Thanks for the reply! I'm in Calgary, Alberta

Hello!! I'm brand new to this forum and I have several questions to ask. I'm hoping to learn as much as I can from this group! A quick bio on me - I'm a stay at home mother of 3 children, ages 7, 5 and 2. My previous bird experience is limited to owning a cockatiel (Nikki) for 20 years, I loved that bird dearly. Sadly, Nikki passed away when I was pregnant with my first child. Birds have always been a passion of mine and a CAG was always my "dream" bird. Fast forward 7 years and I'm now in a great position to purchase and own a CAG. My husband is on board but wants me to put in as much research as possible. He's a dog guy and has 0 knowledge of owning a bird. His major concern, as is mine, is how our new feathered family member will react to our children. Sorry for the long winded post but I would appreciate any feedback possible. Okay...here it goes....my list of questions. 1) Looking for advice on CAGs with children? We have a spacious house, so the cage will be in a low traffic zone. My plan was to also purchase several stands/playgyms and place them around our house (kitchen, family room, gym....etc) 2) Any members from Canada? I'm hoping to get some recommendations on Aviaries that breed CAG. Would flying my new CAG to our location be very stressful on the bird? I unfortunately haven't had much luck in finding any local breeders and my preference is no pet stores. 3) Do you travel with your Grey? We usually visit a lake (about a 6hr drive) every summer and would obviously want our Grey to join us. What method do you use to transport your Grey in a vehicle? Also, our new Grey would not spend much time in his cage. That being said, would a smaller "travel" cage be alright to house him/her in while on holidays at the lake? We would also bring stands/play gyms with us...... 4) We also take an annual winter beach holiday, which our Grey couldn't come on. Any advise on "bird sitters" - again, if you're Canadian.....I would love to hear from you. 5) Our house has an extensive amount of windows (floor to ceiling) I read that placing the cage in front of a window isn't ideal. Is this true? Thanks in advance!!
