Hi Jennifer, welcome to the group! I am a new member also. I am anxiously waiting for my baby grey, it is only about 1 mo. old now & SO sweet! I am hoping to see it again this weekend & get some pic's. I have chosen the name Biscotti, hopefully it will fit it's personality!
I have a similar living situation to you, I live alone & most friends don't get the love of birds thing- oh well, they don't know what they're missing! I plan to take my baby out alot to get it socialized, picked up a nice Cellti birdy backback/carrier.
I currently have a sun conure, who is a total clown, 2 dogs & lots of large animals ( horses & cows ) who don't get to share the house! Looking forward to sharing & hearing how it goes with your baby, ours will be fairly close in age. I know how excited you are!!
