Well that was what I thought. Everytime I was near she would follow me to the nearest spot on the cage and start the scratching and doing a little baby cry. She is hard to resist. But I had stuff I had to get done and dont want to train her to think that any time she does this I will come running... though I really wanted to Thanks so much for the quick feed back. I got my new computer tonight. So I will get it set up tomorrow and get some photos of her. Again thanks for the help.

OK, I tried the search function but did not find anything. I apologize if this has been written about. I did look under the body language post as well. When I am working where Twila can see me she will put donw her hand and paw her foot back and forth. Like a bull getting ready to charge. What the heck does this mean?

Rats! I just clicked the link and it doesnt show the video any more. I never thougth to save it... duh. I will have to borrow someones video camera. Thanks for all the welcomes and congrats.

Well today was the day. I picked up my little girl about an hour from home. I had a name in mind, but when I met her it didnt seem to fit. As I was driving home the name Twila popped in my head and seemed perfect! How is it possible to be totally smitten in just a few hours? She is so outgoing. I put her in her cage and she promplty went about playing with all her toys. She is wonderful! Her breeder did a great job with socializing her. This a link that the breeder sent me when I was trying to decide between the girl or boy. She is the one that does the head stand.. and she has already done it for me http://s241.photobucket.com/albums/ff73/coldcreekaviary/?action=view&current=2008_1121Image0002.flv

Thanks for the welcomes. Yep, it is a flock! It takes me about an hour and a half every day to clean cages and feed everyone. May sound strange, but it helps me relax after work I have never owned a grey. But have been around many big birds including greys. I have done some research, but decided the best place to find was a forum. I belong to one for my dogs and have found it the first place I look for info. I am sure this will be much the same. Once I get my regular computer back I will post some photos I have from the breeder. The software on this one wont let me change the size of the photos:angry:

Hello, My name is Erin and I have no idea what my new Timneh baby will be named . I do know that it is a hen and I will get to bring her home on Dec 13th when her breeder will be coming to my state for a show. I currently am owned by a talkative quaker named Yoshi, and lovebird named Squeak (that I think said Yoshi tonight!) and a bunch of lady gouldian finches... and that is just the birds. There are dogs and cats here to. Yep, I am crazy for critters. I am sure I will learn tons from this group and will start reading some of the back posts asap. Thanks for making a spot for me!
