AWE THANKS DAN!:lol: I just love him so much already. I have learned that he most likely cannot go back to the wild and as he is not a protected bird ( Kind of a pest I guess ) they dont do anything for them as far as rehab. I would love to keep him, I have five already whats one more fid going to hurt. I have also joined the Forum " Starling Talk" they have given great advice. This lil guy is the reason for me not showing up on this forum latley. Luckily wild birds feed sun up to sun down so I get some sleep after 9-10pm. Cristen

Aweeee!!! LOOK AT THAT! It's Beautiful and so are all of your fids! Good for you for giving them such a wonderful place to spend some time...... Cristen:P

You are right, Im sure of it!

KARMA TO YOU FOR HAVING A GOOD HEART.

I agree with Dan and Caitlin. Poor bebe. I hope everything works out.

Hi Jasmine! VERY nice pictures of your wonderful little grey... THANKS FOR POSTING Cristen

I LOVE ALL OF YOUR PICTURES! THANKS FOR SHARING THEM WITH US! Beautiful Birdies!!

Oh My Goodness! little Smarty pants! lol Thats GreYt!

Thats awesome!

Wow! Skittles and Starburst what cute names you chose. They are growing into wonderful suns for sure...Keep the pics comin! CONGRATUALTIONS ON YOUR NEW BABIES!

Hmmmm.. thats a LOT of issues you seem to have with your grey... wow. I agree with the mess... Birds in general are kinda messy. But that is something that they do naturally and they don't think the way we do as far as keeping the floor neat. They drop a good percentage of what they are eating. They flap their wings, and food and feathers fly everywhere, they poop when they feel the need, and bite if you dont understand their signs/body language. They talk if and when they wanna talk. They wont be forced to do anything they dont want to do. My Dalia shows clear signs when she is about to poop, She gets down and backs up with a lil bum wiggle. I distract her by talking loudly and then pick her up and take her over the newspaper or to her playstand and then say " ok go poop " and she does. She of course poops a lot when I didnt even notice but Im trying to limit the accidents. You can try taking her to a room where its just you and your grey, and talk to her and let her come to you, if she is biting when you would like her to step up maybe try using a stick, one thats not too wide and not to narrow so that she feels comfortable on it. Gradually make the stick shorter and shorter so she gets gradually closer to you/your hand. The one thing that I think is very important is that your whole family should learn all theyt can about greys so that they understand her/him better. I think that people should change their ways in order to fit into the greys life rather than the grey should change to suit you and your families needs/wants. Good Luck! I hope you can keep your grey and give it a loving, caring and understanding home. Greys do not do well playing musical homes bouncing from one to the other. In fact that is why they bounce around due to the bad habits formed when they are constantly changing owners and have to undergo the stress over and over. The new owners cant deal with them so off to a new home they go! I wish you guys the best...do come back with your updates sooon.... have you pics that we can see? I love pics! Remember: Your grey is a wild creature with wild instincts. Nothing can take that away. Cristen:silly:

Thanks TinyTimneh!I appreciate your comment.

WELCOME....SUCH A BEAUTIFUL GREY!

AWE thanks for sharing! Eckos a real cutey for sure!

HAHAHA TOO FUNNI CAROL! {Feel-good-0002006E}

Also, rather than discovering this later, Be sure that the perches are not positioned over the feed and/or water dishes so the poop doesn't fall in. That kinda birdie soup is pretty yucky! Not to mention bad for your Grey. There will most likely be times when your bird will get some in the dishes but it's a lot less frequent this way.<br><br>Post edited by: myafricanqueen, at: 2009/06/18 22:47

LOOK AT BELLA! That flight suit is cute too! Se is beautiful! Welcome to the forum Rob and Family.

awe! THAT'S GREYT!

Carol, OMG I can imagine what it feels like in your situation, and what it's like down there. How you must worry about friends and family. I couldn't do it!!! I live in Canada, but I still know about the hood/streets. It 's pretty bad there and things don't change because of A LOT OF REASONS. which Im sure you know of. Drugs being the BIG one. Its good that your son is safe. It's hard to live in that kinda place and stay outta trouble. ( More so for the guys ) I didnt read this till today, I feel bad that I couldn't tell you how happy I am for you. You are one of the sweetest ladies on the forum. WELL I THINK YOU ARE, FUNNY BECAUSE I HAVENT EVEN MET YA! Take care of all your babies now that they are there. Cristen<br><br>Post edited by: myafricanqueen, at: 2009/06/15 23:50
