Hi all! My name is Christine and I am not a bird owner (yet?). I would really love to have an African Grey but I want to make sure it will be a good match for my family, not just get one because they are cute or because they talk. So I'm here gathering information. I've read a lot of articles online so far, but I don't think anything compares to talking with the actual bird owners. A little about me - I have been married almost 15 years, have 2 kids (10 & 8), 17 nieces and nephews, whom I adore... I LOVE kids! My full time job is raising and homeschooling my kids and I am also a doula. We are an animal-loving family - currently we have a boxer, a bearded dragon, and a snake. My husband is probably getting a tarantula soon :ohmy: and my daughter (who is the owner of the snake) is lobbying for another snake! We also love to camp and we spend several weekends a year camping. During these times, we have a house-sitter who takes care of all the animals for us. So anyway, I look forward to talking with all of you in hopes that you can help me make my decision and also learn all the stuff I need to know if and before I bring the baby home. Thanks!
