Hello again First the BIGGEST news, last Wednesday I had the first medical control after cancer treatment and EVERYTHING is okay...what a relief:woohoo: Second, everything with Mr. Muru is okay:kiss: I just feel that I have been whole of my life with bird. My dogs (bordercollie) have taken Muru very good. Little more about Muru...He have been living with one family almost whole his life. He was one year old when he moved in this family where he is now. His owner never wanted him to be domesticated bird, so you can't touch him or he will use beak on you. In Muru's early years he have been sitting in hand and so on but nowadays you just use stick to move him place to place. But now in three weeks I have practising touching him with little stick (not yet with hand)in his legs and beak and little in head and I'm so suprised that he haven't been afraid of that..he even gives his neck for me to scratch a little bit:kiss: Muru don't fly at all, he have injured his one wing and pinions don't crow anymore (that what the owner told me). I'm little sad about that and I have thinking that if you cut the other healthy side same like that injured side so maybe those wings will crow back...or maybe this is only my imagination:blush: Why I have thinking this, is because Muru try to fly sometimes and when he do that he fall down in floor almost imidiatly and every time he come down in that injured wing, so it hurt again and again and wings don't have any chance to crow back. His balance is not good with two different kind of wings:( Here is again one photo of Muru, he have just come out of shower (like it a lot):kiss:

I just look the dictionary and meaning of Muru are crumb,granule, sweetie, darling or dear Very good finnish name for so lovely bird.

Hello everybody! Greetings from Finland again;) I haven't been here because my life go upside down on February in this year. I have been in big surgery on March, because I had cancer.

I have to answer him that I can't now because the situation in my life. Again he ask me about month ago the same question and quess what I answered him.....YES ofcourse:laugh: So now I have spend over one week with gray timneh Muru (is his name) and I just LOVE it:kiss: Muru is DNA tested male and he is about 21-years old and very lovely bird. Future will show if Muru move here with me for good;) I try to put picture here also if I can:blush:

Hello! If I haven't join the Facebook society and get this link there, I had never ever found this wonderful and awesome site and forums.:kiss: I'm middle age woman from Scandinavia, Finland:blink: I don't have bird yet, because my studies about birds, especially Grays, are incomplete:) I feel that I'm not ready yet to take a bird. I hope that I can be memeber of this forum, even I don't have bird yet :blush: :kiss: Nina:kiss:

Thank's for answers to everybody. Gray it's not mine, my friend who owns it. Now she has taken bird in to the avian vet and everything is allright. Avian vet said that maybe bird have made some noise on his throat and that sounds like heart beat:) :laugh: Or maybe my friend have too good hearing :laugh:

Hello! This maybe silly question but my friend is little worried about hers gray.:blush: Is it normal that you can hear your grays heartbeat if you go about 20 centimeters near your bird??? Can anyone answer this, please:)
