This is heartbreaking news. I pray with all my heart that Emma is found safely quickly and returned to her loving home.

Game on everyone!!!!!

Great idea birdhouse!!!! Let us know how it goes!!!!

Very handsome lad you have there Steve!!!!! Thanks for sharing him with us!!

Hi Paul 78, welcome to the Grey family! So glad you decided to join us. I would love to see some pictures of your grey, what is his name?? I have a male ekkie who is pretty laid back guy. Unfortunately my grey is very jealous of him and is always trying to steal his food or bounce on his head. Lucky for my ekkie, I am retired and have a lot of time to referee. I hope you find the right combination for you.

You're a great parront to bring Murphy's cage out to join in the fun BBQ!!!! Great looking backyard by the way!!!

How about getemmahome@ (whatever your server is) That should be simple enough for a human to figure out!!!! Great idea!!!!

Great pictures and everything looks great! So glad Murphy and everyone got home safely before the big break!!!!!

Oh video please!!!!! I want to see Chocko and Becki playing their own version of tongue twister!!!!!

Thank you for your concern dw31. I believe leather also shrinks up if wet and then dries so I know to be extra careful at all times. I never leave the anklet on Ana Grey when she is inside and I always check it very carefully before I put it on her. I only put the anklet on just before we go outside and continually watch at all times when she is outside that she does not bite or mess with the anklet in anyway. There is a jesse that is used with the anklet and falconers have used this same type of equipment for many years for much stronger birds than my tame Ana Grey. I appreciate your concern and believe me, the second I feel that Ana Grey is uncomfortable or that the anklet is "stretching" she will no longer be using it.

Glad all is well!!! And you're a great parront Brittany, better safe than sorry!!!! Great job!!!!

Great pictures of your little family!!!! Congratulations on your new baby, Martini!!!

In my house it is my grey that harasses my male eclectus, who is a big sweetie. I have to watch Ana Grey all the time as she is constantly going into Sully's cage for his treats and goodies. Ana Grey can fly, Sully can't yet. Sully is a laid back big ekkie with a large beak. Ana Grey is a 292 gram TAG so I have to make sure Sully doesn't nail Ana Grey even though it is Ana Grey who goes into the attack on Sully head!!! If I hear Sully shriek I go running because Ana Grey is up to no good again!!!!! It is a challenge if you want your fids flighted and free and most of all safe!!!

It is gorgeous and will certainly be hard to part with!!!

What a great find for Milo!!!!! You have a great shopper's eye Steve!!!! Well done!!!

I hope the owner is found Judy, it certainly is a pretty cockatiel!!!

Oh I'm going to watch these games although i'm not a big fan of soccer. But I do love to see Americans beat the British!!!! Go team!!!!

First let me preface this by saying, I DO NOT recommend this for other people's greys. This works for me and my grey. She has been with me since she was 4 months old and came from a very loving and caring breeder who socialized her magnificently. Ana Grey is very trusting. In my home I am the flock leader and Ana Grey knows and respects that. The anklet was made especially for her 292 gram weight. Note the size, Ana Grey is a small Timneh and she is much smaller than your 400 to over 500 gram Congos. The anklet is not the same as the ones that falcons wear as Ana Grey is much smaller and her talons and legs are not like those of a falcon. The anklet is made of kangaroo hide, leather and is removable. The leash is also not a regular falcon leash; it is not leather as Ana Grey would never be strong enough to carry a regular falcon leash or the swivel attached. I would NEVER leave Ana Grey outside alone with this anklet on as I am sure she would try to bite through it with her strong beak and would succeed. The anklet is the only thing holding Ana Grey to her leash which has a special handmade lightweight clip make for this particular leash. Mike is a great guy and he has made similar gear for a pair of bicycle riders in California who take their macaws out with them and their macaws fly along side. That all being said, here are some other pictures. I have two anklets, although I only use one at a time. I hope this lets you see how they look and basically work.

Hi Christopher, how totally wonderful of you and your family to re-home such needing parrots. I can hear the love and patience you and your wife have to help these sweet fids. I look forward to hearing more about Zoe and Casper. Welcome to the Grey family!!!!

Too cute Jill!!!! Now how about a video please!!!!!!

Ana Grey and I have had a running battle for about a year and a half over her wearing a harness. She squawks like I am trying to kill her and it's never a pleasant time. Well now I have a solution that works for both of us!!!!!! Hooray! For the last 6 months I have been looking into falconry equipment for Ana Grey and now I have a set of anklets, jesses and a leash made especially for my 292 grams grey!!!! Mike, a falconry equipment guy in Oregon was kind enough to do this for me. I have always been able to touch Ana Grey's legs and flip her over and do just about anything with her, well except the harnessing. So putting the anklet on her is a piece of cake. The anklet is leather, well kangaroo hide, and removable so I don't have to leave it on permanently. I have taken Ana Grey outside a couple of times and once she realized that she was tethered to me she stopped trying to fly away. I live where there are lots of hawks so I won't be letting her fly any distance, but if I am ever where the ground is flat and it is tree less I know I can give her a long lead and let her fly free, for a little ways anyway.

Only you Jill would do something so foolish and then post about it!!!!! What a sight!!!!! Thanks for making my day Jill!!!!

I have an older rehomed male Eclectus and he is the sweetest bird in the world. My Ana Grey always dive bombs him if I am working with Sully as she is very jealous. My eclectus does like to be with me in the same room and he can shriek very loudly but he is very low maintenance. Eclectus can be pluckers however and I am still working with Sully in this regard. I can't wait for all his flight feathers to return and hopefully his muscles will grow strong enough for him to fly again. He was clipped for at least 7 years before I rehomed him.

My Ana Grey is chipped and I feel so much more relieved that I have one more way to identify her as my grey. Ana Grey never missed a beat and has never shown any signs of even noticing that she is chipped. I requested that she not be anesthesiased. If she is lost I can contact HomeAgain and they will immediately contact all vets, shelters and PetRescuers in my area. They have 24/7 lost pet specialists available.They also provide a place where I can immediately create a Lost Pet Poster and can provide travel assistance within a 500 mile radius if necessary for my grey's return home.

Hi Chrissgee, have you introduced yourself in the Welcome Room so everyone can say Hey and get to know you???? Sounds like Dolly is just finding out that she has a say in what she has to do. I personally would just open the door and let her come out when she wants. Their cages are they domain and like all of us some times we just need some space. I find that if I just leave my 2 year old Ana Grey alone she comes to me on her own and we are both are so much happier for being able to make choices.
