Hello! My name is Dan. I like short walks on the beach because I am lazy and my legs get tired. I am looking for a pretty young grey to call my own.
I do not have a grey yet but I plan on getting one in around a years time. I have been reading the posts and FAQ's and decided to go a head and say hello to everyone and set up an account for questions I have along my process of getting ready for my new bird. I have had some experince with birds before. When I was younger my parents had a Blue and Gold, cockatiel x2, cockatoo, and an amazon. I have been torn as to what kind of bird to get but I have I think decided on an african grey. I was orginaly looking at a blue and gold, then a grey, then a cockatoo, then a grey, then a grey.... then a grey. My parents had a grey before I was born and would tell me funny stories about how the grey would trick my dad, and the dog he didn't like.
I would like to lay out the set up for said grey and get any advice with any potential problems. I am aware that greys tend to pick one person as its mate and will shun or down right attack others. In about a years time I will be in an apartment living with my girl friend and more than likely a small breed dog. I am a little worried about Mr. Grey only letting one of us near it, mainly rejecting me as I am the one who is the bigger bird lover.
Its nice to meet everyone and I love reading the replys on this board!
Thank you for your time and reading my lengthy poorly spelt/worded first post!
