Hi Dan! I'm actually a 911 dispatcher. I answer 911 calls and dispatch police, fire and ems...not all at the same time :-)

Hello from Wisconsin. My name is Eileen. My partner, Diane, and I just got an African Grey...Timneh. Her name is Lucy and she's 7. She belonged to my brother and his wife and the apparently wanted to give her up. I'm really glad I was their first choice. We've had her for about 2 weeks now and I have to say I feel she's adjusting pretty well. I'm not sure how much time she actually got out of her cage, but we give our birds alot of time out of their cages. She is really a sweet girl. She's getting more and more comfortable stepping up onto my hand. Her bark is much worse than her bite. When she does bite it usually starts with a push of the beak (you know, the "leave me alone" push) and then progresses to a bite which is not really that hard. I'm hoping she'll have many happy years here with us. She's not on a pelleted diet so we're working on that...not a whole lot of success there but I know it takes time. We also have a Umbrella Cockatoo, a Senegal, a Quaker, a Cockatiel, 2 Love Birds and several keets. We were breeding keets for fun (small aviary) and are now in the process of selling all but a few pet keets. Glad to have found you all! I've attached a pic of Lucy.
