angelMitra

greetings, my name is angel and my companion is a nine month old congo african grey named Mitra. i shared a grey with a partner about 8 years ago, but "Maxi" went with my ex in the divorce. i think i've been waiting for Mitra ever since then. Mitra chose me when i went looking for greys in a very fine shop, Your Basic Bird, that specializes in birds in Berkeley, CA. the owner, Claudia, is an excellent, caring advisor that clearly loves birds. i was very patient and didn't bring him home until her was 5 months old so that he would be fully weaned. he is now a well-adjusted, responsive baby that chortles, calls and whistles a lot and is clearly practicing words under his breath. He imitates phrases with exact replica whistles and everyone is convinced he'll be talking soon, but there's no pressure. ee're both happy to be here on the forum to learn and share with all of you and took a fresh picture today for the occasion. talk to you soon, angel oh, ps..."Mitra" means spiritual friend in the ancient sanskrit language.
