Hi Paul, so glad you decided to join the Grey Forums before becoming a parront. There is oodles of helpful information here and lots of great people who are are willing to help you. My TAG, Ana Grey, is my first big bird. I spent a couple of months here reading and asking "silly" questions and getting to know everyone. I grow up around animals so I knew they poop wherever they want and get stubborn some times but if you treat them with love and respect they love you back a thousand fold. So read, read, read through the many informative threads here and ask any questions you might have. Can't wait to hear how your search for your grey goes. Welcome to the Grey family!!!!
