I am toying with an outdoor aviary attached to the window of the birdroom. I just can't figure out what I want. I would love to see other aviaries others have built.

I'm sorry for your loss Sarah and, of course, you are welcome here on the Forum. The only requirement is the love of greys.

I love this Archimedes little tale! Too cute; great picture!

Hi Sassy are you getting more than one grey????? If your hubby is helping find a cage and think he is coming along nicely with accepting your new companion(s). Can't wait to travel along with you on your grey adventure.

that is the cutest little birdie!!!! Look at that smiling face! Lookiing forward to watching your baby grow with you.

Have you checked with local avian veterinarians or your local pet store? If you have no one to pet sit perhaps they might be able to help you out with pet sitting or know some reliable pet lovers.

Great pictures of Lucky!!!!

I see you have been a member of the Grey Forums for awhile. Glad you decided to post!!!! Your grey will be fine with the move cause you will be going with him and it sounds like you are his main provider. So if you are calm and talk to Bandit about what is going on, I think all will be fine. Just be calm and relaxed and Bandit will most likely catch your vibes and be the same. Kudoes to you for wanting to provide a safer and healthier home for your sweet grey. Looking at your Avatar, Bandit is a very handsome grey. Can;t wait to hear more about him.

Does your grey have time in the sunlight?? I believe sunlight can help with seizure problems. http://www.exoticpetvet.net/avian/seizures.html

Hi Nutmeg, glad you and Lucky have joined the Grey Family! Kudoes to you and your hubby for taking in an older grey!!! Can't wait to hear more and see some pictures of your sweet lady!

For sure Dan. I believe once Dayo learns to mow the lawn..... You're History!!!!! LOL!!!

Zons do have so much more love than say, a grey in their own way. I've spoken about my Louie, oodles, the zon that I can't touch without a bite but the zon who listens and does what I ask without a touch. I can get him in his cage and travel cage and out of his cage when I want. He will go from room to room after me. He listens intently and does what I ask as long as I do not touch him he is happy. Now Louie can touch me, all he wants; he loves to preen my hair and put his foot on my arm but if I ask him to "step up" he flies off. The strange thing is that Louie, the untouchable, is the favorite parrot to all my children and the neighborhood. It has to be his personality and his joy in life because no one can touch him. My kids say, "no more parrots, Mom!" I say, I don't need anymore, I have a zon and two greys, who could ask for more. I have all the personalities wrapped in my comical zon and my so different TAG and CAG.

LOL! Thanks for the shot of mini-Dan this morning Dan!!!! Dayo is a sweetheart and very talkative!!!!

Excellent pictures of DJ! Just gorgeous!!

My TAG remained at the breeders until she was 4 months old. Her breeder kept her for a full week after she no longer wanted any formula to make sure she would not revert. My CAG was 5 months old when I brought him home and he was still having 1 evening feeding although he was eating "real" food too. He ate his evening formula for less than the week, I think he just enjoyed being handfed. To me it is a great/loving breeder who abundance feeds their babies until they no longer want to have any formula. There is no required timetable.

Luv those baby eyes!!!! Great pictures; beautiful grey!!!!

Absolutely smashing pictures!!!!! Gorgeous Ellie and great pictures!!!!

Salsa is beautiful Jayd!!!!! I snuck a peek at your other videos too!!!!! Oooops!!!!!

Hi Laura, I got my grey, Ana Grey, before my grandson arrived. The first time I babysit I was worried about Ana Grey's reaction, she was 2 years old at the time and very bonded to me as I live alone. I talked to Ana Grey about my Dino coming to visit and that she needed to be nice to him. When Dino arrived all bundled up and warm I introduced them watching Ana Grey closely all the time. No interaction between grey and baby, of course. I told Ana Grey what I was doing and she flew from room to room and watched closely. As it was my worries were unnecessary because Ana Grey just watched closely as I feed, changed and rocked little Dino and put him to bed. She then got lots of cuddles and scratches all her own. After that Ana Grey got so she would sit on the back of my rocking chair as I feed and rocked my grandson. She has never tried to beak or even touch my grandson who is now 2 1/2 years old. So as long as you keep your grey informed about what is going on and give him a chance to adapt to the new baby, I think all will be fine. Just watch your grey closely because you are the only one who really knows your grey's personality and reactions to change and new environments. Congrats on your new arrival and I can't wait to see some pictures and hear more about Mico!

Congrats on Marco's homecoming!!!! Can't wait to see some welcome home pictures!!!

I luv to hear about Dayo, Dan. You don't post about this smart and entertaining bad boy near enough!!!

Yes, she is trying to talk! I don't understand her though, sorry!

Oh I love this post! Ozzy is a very smart and watchful grey. I know you will be sharing all kinds of great stories with us!!! Way to go Ozzy!!!

Greys pick who they want to like/bond with. There is nothing you can really do about it. My children do not like my parrots but my fids have choose certain kids they like best (all my kids are over 40) and they fly to that person and sit on their shoulder and steal their food. Perhaps that's why my fids pester the kids, they like their food!!!! LOL!

Go visit this grey and see if the two of you like each other. Talk to the owner and learn all you can about this grey. You'll know after your visit whether or not the two of you can be friends. Enjoy and relax. Greys are so worth the time and effort. Welcome to the Grey family!
