Hello everyone! Thanks so much for welcoming me...I have never been a part of a forum before, but I like it so far. I actually checked with my Avian Vet and decided against the CAG that I was thinking about, I'm a praying woman and I heard a whisper that it just wouldn't be a good match for either of us. I am now the proud owner of a yet to be named Timneh Grey! He/she was hatched on 5/26/08 and is fully weaned and now quarantined in my family room. Vet check tomorrow and results back early Wednesday. I have found so much incredible information from everyone here, actually that is a big part of my decision change...so many expreienced voices! thanks again, stacey

Hi. My name is stacey and I am going to add a CAG to my flock tomorrow(I currently have a Hahn's Macaw, Indian Ringneck, and a cockatiel) His name is Frank and was hatched on 4/8/08! I just left him after spending lots of time just watching him and holding him. A few things I noticed and wanted input on: 1. He is very, and I mean very, clumsy...I have heard both that greys are clumsy and also that this is a myth. Is the clumsiness due to his young age? Do they outgrow it? 2. Is a little nippiness normal for young CAG's? I'm not sure if it isn't more like "mouthing". Right now he is at the pet shop and has been there for a month, the girls say that he has really come a long ways in terms of getting over his shyness and loves to be held and cuddled (which he does) and that he is beginning to mumble and make noises. Please let me know what you have to say about baby CAG's! thanks
