YIPPY FABULOUS! I just knew she would find her way home! Cannot wait to hear!

I didn't think that the noise was bad and if you think that is bad don't ever get a conure parrot. My grey is now imatating the Nanday conure scream and if you have heard it, it is about awful. I also have noticed that if I make a big deal out the the noises I don't like the more my grey does it. My grey also imatates my 4 year old screaming too. Many will make those noises because they like the noise and it is entertaining to them. Just a suggestion turn off that fan, my grey screams when the fan is on she doesn't like it at all. I am new to having a grey but these pro's on here have been dead on, on everything they have told me. Take their advice greys are not quiet and depending on the greys mood can be quite loud. Good luck.

Greymom, Wanted to tell you that there was a post the other day about a B & G Macaw that got away and they were offering a reward on Kijiji.com. Today there is a post that he was found and back in his families hands. There is hope!

I live in Indiana also and I can say that I have seen allot of listing over the months but they go fast. Allot seem to be located near Chicago. I recently took a 15 year old and rehomed her. Keep looking and if I find any I will let you know.

Ow I like Zuri but you should decide after spending some time with your new baby. You might decide that the ones you pick don't fit. They have so much personality. Good luck I am excited for your!

I posted last week that I really thought my new rehomed bird hated me.I wanted to report some improvement. I have sat in the room every evening with her and just talked to her. I am also the only one that feeds her. Last night I got her to eat from my hand, I handled her, and she gave me kisses all without being bitten. I am so excited and there is hope! I think we will be great friends. Thanks for all the encouragement and idea you all gave me!:woohoo: Wen

Ow I am so so sorry. Here is some good news, I lived in Oceanside CA not far from you and had my conure get out and she came back. One early morning I heard her yelling and you cannot confuse that with another bird.I got up and there she was, so keep looking. Put her cage on the porch and keep looking!

My Greys name is Kiwi (rehomed didn't want to change it) and I have Sally my conure (also rehomed) and since they both knew their name we left it as is. If I had a baby to name I would call it Niki or Lily for a girl or Wrangler for a boy. Good luck on picking your name!

We have only had her one week and I do know that it takes time and 1 week isn't enough. I guess I just worry that if I continue to try she will become stressed out and I want to avoid that. She also didn't have much physical attention at least in the last couple of years and she is older. Do you think maybe time is just needed. Even if I cannot interact with her I will still love her from a distance.

I am new here and wanted to just ask a few questions to all the pro's. My husband and I were asked to take a CAG because the family could no longer take care of her. Long story short she hates me. I have had several parrots but never a CAG, going into this knowing though that they are a little tempermental. She is about 8 yrs old I believe and we are her 3rd home sadly. She loves my husband and cuddles with him, loves him, and talks to him all right away. But I am another story and cannot get near her without getting bit or yelled at. My question really is there any hope for me or should I stop trying. I don't want to stress her out and hope that we will be her last home and she will live happily. Please lend some advice, I am more concerned about her then me!<br><br>Post edited by: KiwiandSally, at: 2009/07/17 19:03
