Thanks, he's a beauty!!!!

My biggest fear is my sweet Ana Grey flying out the door and getting lost. She and I are very close, she comes to me when I call her and she loves to be in the same room as me. She and I are companions. But not for one second do I believe that she would not fly out the door on the first chance she got. How do I know this because I see her always watching the door when I or anyone else goes in and out. She is always waiting for that one opportunity and I know in my heart of hearts that she would be out the door in a flash. And I accept this. She wants to be free to fly as she is meant to fly. But I also know that once she stopped flying and got hungry she would wonder where I was and why I didn't come get her and feed her. Frankly I don't care if she flies 100 feet or two miles as her parront I will try to find her. The microchipping is just one more chance I have to get her back and I will do anything to get her back. It doesn't matter if I have her in a harness or with her anklet and jesse, she always tries to fly off until she knows she cannot. She is an animal just like us and we too love our freedom!!! I can look in the newspaper right now or on the internet and see ads from people desperate to find the birds, some cockatiels some conures, some greys, some macaws. They all try to fly as far away as they can without thought about tomorrow and where their next meal will come from. The Lucky ones get found and returned. I can only hope that good and loving animal lovers will find my Ana Grey if she is lost and try to find me. Vet offices, animal control, rescues will check an animal to see if it has a chip. It is free to have them checked. So choose the parrot species you love if you are inclined to became a parront.

When you hear Charlie's calls, I would walk toward them and call back. If your husband is Charlie's favorite then he should walk toward Charlie's callls and answer him back. Take Charlie's favorite food with you. Ana Grey always comes to me as soon as she smells food. Blaming anyone doesn't help now, getting Charlie home is something you both need to work on together. Praying that Charlie is home safely very soon!!!

Thank you for the update!!!!! We have all been concerned about Aoodi!!!!! Happy, happy, happy that all is going well and that Aoodi will be home soon right as rain!!!! I hope all went well with your studies!!!!

You are a great guy Jay. Group hug please!!!!!

I love Hugs!!!!!!

Wow where did that come from Jay, this is a whole new day and we are just having fun here!!!!

Congratulations Malikah!!!! Oh I would love to see pictures of this baby horse!!!

Very handsome Charlie!!! You certainly are a cutie!!

Play nice now boys or I'll have to put you both in a corner. On second thought, perhaps a spanking will make do!!!!

Very nice photos of the Tucumán Amazon. Once again you have outdone yourself Jay. Thank you!!!

Ooops!!!! Senior moment I'm afraid. Welcome to you C.J. and to little Hayley!!!!

Great story Susan. Sounds like Chloe was well satisfied with herself!!!! My Ana Grey also likes to come in and steal my food all the time. I guess she believes she and I are a flock and if I eat so should she!!!! If I want some peace during my meal I have to put her in her cage or give her, her own plate!!!!!!

I flip my Ana Grey over all the time and for the first few seconds she too will lie with her feet in the air and her head very still as if she were dead. Then she uses her wings to flip herself over and life goes on as if nothing has happened. On another note, in your avatar what is that you are holding???? Did you win the Lottery or something!!!! Just being nosey!!!

i guess drew means, that we tied in the score????? Right O!!!!! (how's that)

Hi Mark, great intro by the way. What a wonderful thing you have done to take S in and give him a new forever home. I'm wondering if his missing toes are due to a possible catching them in a closing door as our greys do love to sit on door tops if given the chance. I of course am just guessing. Whatever happened S is certainly lucky to have found you and your family. I would suggest that you post some of your questions in the Health Room. Dave007, the moderator there, is a truly remarkable man who has oodles of great information about our greys. Please do post some pictures of S as I am a lover of Timnehs. My Ana Grey is the love of my life!!! Welcome to the Grey family!!

Oh there you go throwing those "English" words at US again!!!!

Hey Cathy, from your avatar, what a pretty little lady Hannah is. So glad you decided to join the Grey family. Can't wait to hear more about Hannah and get to know you both!!

The sky is now turning reddish pink and I must take my last alcohol drink or Monday morning I'll be hanging over the toilet sink whewwww!!!! New word: dare

Thank you for sharing this with us Adina. Because of Emma's flight I have doubled my precautions. I have now put up the bead screens I have had for about 2 years on my front and back door. My house looks like a tropical bar in the old Bogart movies with the beaded screens (all I need are the flystrips) front of my house looks like a hoochie coochie bar because I also have a red door. I don't care. I know how much Emma loves you as it is so clear in all the marvelous videos you so generously share with us. Ana Grey is the same way, I know she loves me to pieces but like well human beings or any living thing. We all want to be free and given the opportunity I know that Ana Grey would take flight in an instance. You got your baby home, I pray she has fulfilled her wanderlust.

Oh Julie don't kick yourself in the head (wirh a footyball) for the mistakes of your footy men!!!

So nice to meet you Hayley. Congratulations on your new baby grey. Do you have any names in mind???? I can relate to your hanging around before finally getting your baby. I too had to wait before my Ana Grey was able to come home and I spent oodles of time right here absorbing so much useful information and advice and making some good friends as well. So enjoy and welcome to the Grey family!!!!

Hey, hey Happy Birthday to you Judy!!!!!! What only 60, why you're still a spring chicken!!!!!! What a grand lady you are!!!!! Have a most wonderful day!!!

So sorry for your brother's loss of Hans! It's always sad when anyone's friend is gone.

Ana Grey always comes to me for "scratches' and I just give them a gentle massage. I don't try to really mess with the little coverings because then Ana Grey will nip at me. Just a little massage is all she wants to help ease the itch. Spraying her with Aloe Vera juice also helps her.
