Thats a great one! I am sure marie and George will love it:)

Wow Dave, you are gonna be busy today!

Our Sheila will love this Dave! Like Judy I cant wait to read some more:)

Another good one Dave, keep them coming:)

Well, I opened my curtains in the family/bird room this morning and they are BACK! All over the window sill which is near Jaspers cage, I was horrified!:ohmy: I have watched to see where they are coming from and there is a gap inbetween the window frame and sill which I am gonna see if my husband Dave can maybe silicone when he gets home. I have got rid of them all and put talc down the gap for now but it makes you feel so awful having them in the house:( All our gardens are infested with them in the street where I live and they seem to be getting in where they can, any small hole it seems. Is this what they do? Ive never had them before. I thought I had solved the problem last time but the sneaky buggers have found another way in!

Dave, you will be charging us soon lol:) Looking forward to seeing some more Dave they are great:)

Hiya ladyluck. I have 3 greys which have been introduced at different times. The eldest is 2 the middle one is 16 months and the baby has just turned a year old. Having more than one grey has its good points as well as the negatives. There is no guarantee that the greys will get on together. I have two greys who are very bonded and inseperable but the middle grey took an instant dislike to the baby when he arrived so until you actually put the two together there is no way of knowing. I can have all three out together but they must be supervised at all time and they are learning to respect each others space. I have seperate stands and they all have seperate cages, that is the way I will keep it as it works for me and the birds I have no plans of housing them together. On the issue of bonding, I have had no problems at all! I have a close bond with all three and spend quality one on one time with each one on a daily basis, so I really wouldnt worry about the bonding at all just divide your attention equally between the two. One thing you would have to closely monitor though is the baby being with an older grey. When you add a grey I have found them to do an awful lot of beaking to start off with this can look quite scary, I spoke to Dave007 about this after adding my second grey and found it was to determine the alpha bird. The boss of my three believe it or not is the middle grey! I always do everything in order for the birds feeding etc from the eldest down to the youngest. Charlie my eldest is always treated as number 1 bird. All three talk as well which is another question I get asked quite often with having more than one grey so it dosent affect their talking ability. Do you know a lot about the new grey you are considering? Anything about his past? Has he been in contact with other birds at all? How did he react with them? Please keep us posted on your decision wont you? If you get two there are lots of people here who will give great advice along the way and offer support. Good luck:)

How do you do it Dave? I love it! My days are certainly full of joys of laughter with my three:laugh: Thanks Dave you are such a kind person, Im so glad you joined us here. Love to baby Alfie:kiss:

Yes please Dave,my greys names are Charlie,Keeko and Jasper. Cant wait:)

Hawkheads are one of my favourites as well, thanks for sharing those beautiful pictures:)

It sounds fantastic Judy! The photos are excellent I am so pleased you were able to take these for us its great we could share your experience. It sounds like you had a wonderful day there, did you have far to travel? Its a shame we all dont live nearer and could organise a trip together, that would be great. Karma coming your way:)

Teenage girls!:evil: Sore subject in my house at the moment, I suppose I would clean up after the birds any day:laugh:

Your new baby is so beautiful:kiss:

Aww Dave you big softie! What a lovely poem, you love your Alfie so much its so nice to put feelings in to words. A lovely tribute to him and shows how much you care:)

I agree! It could have been really dangerous, Im so glad your baby is okay.

I am so glad you are enjoying your new job, and really pleased that ZZero has adapted well. Keep in touch when you can wont you?

Lol, that sounds just like me dhorje. You certainly cant be house proud if you want to own larger birds! Send potential owners round to my house before they buy:laugh: Great reminder Dave.

Here are a few:) All three babies. Me and Keeko. Charlie and Keeko. Come on Janet your turn now:P

Here are a few out my little collection:) They look like a mirror image lol.

That is so funny Caitlin, all the money we spend on toys and swings and he chose the fruit basket:laugh: I love all the photos of Ecko, it would be great to make a calendar that is a good idea:)

Hi, and welcome to the forum. I hope it wont be long until you find your dream grey! Good luck and keep us posted:)

Congratulations Janet! We couldnt have got a better person for the job! Lets all get posting and get some of this lovely Karma from Janet, time for the camera to come out of hiding:laugh:

My three are terrible and love to destroy things! I think the most expensive must be the laptop and a close second will be the mobile phones! They are so quick and you only have to turn your back for a minute! I am just in the process of decorating as well as they all had a chew of the wallpaper and door casings:evil:

Great photos! My middle grey loves to eat with us as well in the evening, its so nice to share this time with them dont you think? His table manners are not that good though:laugh:

He is very beautiful:kiss:
