Hi guys! So far so good- Spanky is settling in at my house very well. He is such a laid back bird. He started whistling and talking within 5 minutes of his arrival. I left the room for a while and got this cute video of him saying some fun stuff! He steps up but I can tell he's not interested in being held or cuddled. My bf was able to get him to step up as well, and give him kisses. So it's great that they get along. I'll just keep my fingers crossed that he's not allergic!

Hi all! I'm new here! I am going to be fostering an African Grey with the hope of adopting him once we find out if my boyfriend is allergic to him or not (he was allergic to my foster cockatiels). I volunteer for a bird shelter where this grey was dropped together with another bird. I know he is 14 years old and likes women, but that's all. He had been at the shelter for 2 days when I came to see him, and had not stepped up or spoken or anything yet. I got him to play toss/pick up with me, and he stepped up for me, and also gave my nose and my finger kisses by extending his beak. I'm in love :kiss: :blush: For the last three years I've wanted a grey but none have communicated this way with me before - this is quite a connection from the first meeting. I'm excited to see where this goes and if I do end up keeping him! :woohoo:
