Well this morning was fun :blink: Was ready & waiting to come out this morning after taking cover off cage, was very chirpy and muttering to himself, then he decided that no way on earth was he going to let me weigh him hehe. Now I did try to just place on the scales and he was having none of it. I had though about a small pet carry but didnt want to 'upset' him by having to put him in every day... Then he thought he would take his first flight and promptly had a nice soft landing in mums bowl of pot pourri (gladly not scented). So...any ideas/tips on best way to weigh him each morning? So any ideas

Both beautiful birds.

Welcome , new here myself too

Nice pics mareee..and yes also an avid p'shopper..use it most days

Thanks Connie, some great ideas there

Cant say any more than the above posters. Wonderful

Thanks for all your posts. And certainly didn't need to worry about upsetting him etc..he settled down so well anyone would think he been here for years. Such a character already, sure he going to be a barrel of fun Will keep you updated as to his progress.

Thanks Poppy...a week can be a long time sometimes

Here's the little fella...not brilliant but didn't want to unduly upset him & Luvparrots..thanks for that...but 'What is a sig?' IS my sig lol <br><br>Post edited by: Maviarab, at: 2008/11/12 19:36

Well just brought him/her home (really must decide on one till sexed). Transition seems to have gone quite well so far. So 13 weeks old and tucked into grub soon as he was in cage Will get a pic up later once he settled in a bit more.

heh yeah...I am in the UK and get on well with neighbour so he does not mind me 'taking' the odd branch here and there. As its overgrown at the moment anyway and he is ill he is happy for me to cut it back and take/keep what I like so was great timing in a way. And Carolyn, yeah have been perusing the forum, spent all day yesterday sorting branches/perches out and will be going shopping for him (fruit/veg etc) on Monday so keeping busy making sure everything is in order for when Ash gets here.

Very much so Lyric yeah, but my Siamese has been more amusement than I could hope for lol. She really does not play with a full deck. Hoping that she will be a great pal for the Grey, but as things never work out as you would like will have to see on that one. Casper, had not noticed that section of the forum yet, so will be sure to post in there once Ash home and settled. Thanks again for all the warm welcomes.

No idea whether male or female (with any luck might get to find out from the test but not holding breath) but will probably have sexed in the next few months anyway, not that it matters to me but its nice to know eh? And yes found the information thanks, quite handy too, have a perfect tree in the back garden and a different one also suitable in next doors garden heh, so will be out later with my cutting gear Thanks for the welcomes.

Hi all, Found this place while researching suitable real branches as had forgot what could be used and what could not. Well, little history, used to sell Greys for a large chain here in the UK before I left the company, hand trained a wild Grey I rescued around 6 or 7 years ago which I had to re home when me and the then wife divorced and I moved back into parents. Anyway, after much deliberation (also have cats) have purchased a 12 week Grey (Congo) today but can't get him/her till next week as waiting for the pbfd blood test to come back before I can collect. Spent 3 damn hours tonight building cage, phew now was that a job and a half heh. So, happy again I will be around a marvellous and intelligent creature once more. Will let you know and upload a pic once Ash is home Marius
