Oh, Sydney is a very fine looking grey. His cage set up is looking good and having his boing by his door is a smart idea. You are a great companion for this magnificent grey.

Hurray, Murphy will be home with his family on Thursday. Don't forget the homecoming pictures!!!!

Congratulations on your mom's new baby girl. Mango is sure cute with all her new feathers!!

Congratulations on the great progress you and Sydney are making. Sounds like he is getting comfortable in his new home and with his new companion. Can't wait to hear more about your and Sydney's journey!

Cute story about Spock and his purple towel and cuddle pal. Greys are certainly fun to watch, they always amaze us!!!

Great pictures Catlin, I love to watch birds fly. I love the one that you like best. Thanks for sharing Ecko's flight with us!!!

Popeye will love all those toys, great looking cage set up!!!

Thanks everyone!!!!

Great pictures Caroline of you hubby and son with the cockatoo and macaw. Love the way your son is holding the macaw and the cockatoo looks like he is peeking over his shoulder, very cute!!!!

Today is May 4, and it is: International Firefighters Day Rhode Island Independence Day National Weather Observer's Day and it is the birthday of: 1959 - Randy Travis 1956 - Pia Zadora 1929 - Audrey Hepburn

I am delighted that you have decided not to clip Coco's wing, she will be so much happier and confident.

In the wild they have nanny birds so I don't see why Tyco couldn't be Adaya's nanny bird in your home. You are so lucky, I would love to see Tyco and Adaya interacting together!<br><br>Post edited by: luvparrots, at: 2009/05/04 07:14

My post was a little late, I see!!!! Congratulations on Sydney coming out of his cage. Can't wait to hear more about how things go!!!

Much to my dismiss, my Ana Grey's breeder clipped her wings before I purchased her. Ana Grey is great about climbing all over the inside and outside of her cage, she even hangs upside down inside her cage. She climbs out the door and goes to the top of her cage and crosses over on her rope bridge to her cargo net without any problems. Sydney does climb around in his cage I assume so he should be able to go all around his cage inside and out if he wants to. Does Sydney have a favorite treat? Ana Grey loves pecans and peanuts, if I want her out I just ask her if she wants one and out she comes. If I have her in the living room and she wants to go to her cage, which is in my office, she just glides down to the floor and walks back to her cage and climbs up the furniture to get back in. I have a seed guard around the cage and she manages to get up that too. They are very intelligent and it is amazing to watch her figure out how to get where she wants to go. I can't wait until she can fly so I can quit worrying about her. If I were in your situation, I would put some of Sydney's favorite treats outside his cage, not far away, where he can see them. Tell him they are for him and see if he will try to get them on his own. Just make sure there is an easy route he can take to get there. It might take awhile for him to come out but I can't believe he wouldn't if he feels safe and comfortable. Of course this venture is supervised by you so he doesn't come out and get in trouble. Good luck, in the end, Sydney's companionship will be so worth the effort.

Judy, hopefully 5 will be enough for my kids too. I have three children. Youngest has the two daughters 18& 13; oldest daughter has one son, 8; and my son & daugher-in-law are expecting their 1st son. My 20 year-old grandson is inherited from my late husband's daughter, I raised him for her so he is like my own. My girls are done but my son got married in August and this is his first, and his wife would like a girl also,so we'll see. Thanks everyone for the good wishes!!!

Glad to hear that you are having fun Spock!!! :lol:

It was well worth the wait!!!! Your new baby is sure a cutie!!! Thanks for sharing him with us, Ann Marie!

Hi doubletefarm and congratulations on your new grey, Sydney. So glad you could join us and can't wait to see some pictures of Sydney when you get a chance. Welcome to the family.

Matt, happy to hear that you are almost there on getting your grey!!! Are you looking to get a Congo or a Timneh and will you be rescuing an older grey or looking for a baby?
