Thanks, i appreciate it. I'm going to follow up on a few more leads around here, and i may take you up on that

I've been looking around online this morning for a breeder local to me so that i can start making arrangements for a Grey in the next 6 months or so. Out of the listings I found, almost all have been scammers from Cameroon! I want to pull my hair out.

Thanks for the input Dave. I don't actually have a bird yet I'm still reading Let me amend my request then- what books would you suggest for someone starting out?

I'm a reader and a researcher. I've found several books on Grey behavior and training, but the opinions seem to be all over the place. I'm looking for something that will go over both the basics of care and training, AND the more in depth training issues. I have a bajillion questions from how do you train them to a playtop to how do I get my bird to tolerate everyone in the house. So they're pretty varied What book(s) would you suggest for starting out?

I can imagine that future-Grey and Aleisteir (aforementioned disabled crow) may be an interesting combination. I can see that the Grey will learn crow noises. That'll be ... loud. lol.

It'll be *my* first parrot, but my hubby comes from a parrot-y family They've had Amazons and cockatiels. Yes, we have a farm full, but they're all pretty low maintenance.. I don't spend more than an hour a day getting everyone fed and watered and whatnot. Thanks for the welcomes.

Hallo. I'm not a Grey owner yet, but hope to be when I'm ready. I'm still reading everything I can get my hands on in preparation, but I know already that a Grey is in my future. I'm the current food-lady to about 30 chickens, 4 goats, 6 geese, 13 ducks, 3 cats, a dog, a disabled crow, a tarantula, and a goldfish named Bob. Oh, and a very understanding husband. And 2 kids. And a roommate. We have a very busy house So, hi. I'll be lurking about and asking silly questions.
