Thanks! The search for the grey continues.

Well...We didn't get Merlin. Additional family got involved, additional family being her daughter, we were working with her son, and decided to take Merlin to a rescue facility instead. We called the rescue to request an interview towards taking Merlin. Apparently the woman at the rescue already had someone in mind and said that the trip from Pittsburgh to Annapolis would be to stressful for Merlin, which I can understand. So...the son bowed out...we lost Merlin. We are very disappointed, but we wish Merlin a long and healthy life, and wonderful new home where ever it is. But we are still very interested... Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Have a nice weekend! r

ok. i will. Thanks so much.

Thanks to all. I really feel we are in good hands. This was a bit of an emergency rescue. The owner passed away and Merlin needed to be adopted within a matter of days it seemed. He is being delivered to our house Friday night in his travel cage. My girl friend Lori is driving to Bethany Beach to pick up his full-size cage on Saturday. So I will get to know Merlin Saturday. I am really looking forward to it. I am hoping he will be ok in his travel cage till Lori returns. Should I encourage him to perch outside the travel cage, Saturday? Again, Many Thanks! Rick

Hi! My name is Rick. My Girlfriend and I are taking a 5 yr old African Grey as a rescue. We have a large 9 yr old dog, Liz and a 13 yr old cat, Baxter. We have a relatively large house with lots of light. ummm....What can we do to make the transition as peaceful for the Gray as possible? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!!! His name is Merlin.
