Thanks for all the support everyone! I'm a bit nervous!!! I have a 3 year old Hahns macaw, a 16 year old rescued Red Belly Parrot, 3 Linnies, 3 rescued cockatiels. We're also about to welcome home a baby Cape parrot in a few weeks! I'm going to start looking around for a cage about 32-36 inches... I'm hoping to find one on CL!! We'll see how that works!

I joined this forum a while ago to get information however I haven't been active as I don't really have a Grey! Well- that's about to change. I have agreed to adopt a TAG!!! He's about 2 years old and has lived in one home until now. He'll be coming in a few weeks. The previous owner has said that he's a bit shy around new people. He hates certain shades of green, and that he prefers to meet his toys outside the cage for the first time before they are put in his cage. His diet is good and he's been very happy in his current home. His owner tells me that his cage isn't in the best shape and is a bit on the small side. I'm having him come with his current cage but would like to find him something in better shape. I need cage suggestions!! Do I stay with something close to what size he has now? Or do I go bigger? I know usually bigger is better but I'm worried about doing too many changes at once. I'm going to try to keep it the same color. How to I help with the transition? What can I do to create the least amount of stress? I know Greys are more sensitive to changes.. what can I do to minimize the distress?!

Thank you for the welcome I can't wait to learn more about them. They are definitely one of the most interesting birds out there! Hopefully this last year of college will FLY by!!!

Hello!! I have decided that I will be bringing home a baby Grey... -in a year- It's a while... but it gives me a lot of time to research, read about everyone else's birds, find a breeder, and graduate nursing school! I've been waiting for the perfect time to get my Grey and I think that after I graduate would be perfect. I'm finishing up my Junior year of college now. I'm 22 and have a little green female parrotlet named Millie that came to me as a rehome. And a Hahn's macaw named Mia.. who's about 4 months old right now. She's my baby girl. I love her dearly. My first birdie love was a Grey and I've been waiting for years till I could get one! I've decided on a Timneh Grey because I like their smaller size and the darker colors. I've read that they can be more outgoing and more at ease around strangers. Besides birds, I have two dogs (a Boston Terrier and a Bichon mix), 3 turtles, 2 bettas, and a salt water tank. I love animals Anyway- I can't wait to get to know everyone and their birds!!!
