The question is do you look back when he makes the noise and if you do he has your number. I know it`s hard to walk away when your busy and trying to get things done but at some point you need to walk away when he makes a fus and come back when he`s quiet and I know that takes a lot of time. Unwanted nois you leave and when he calms down you come back and tell him how good he is and give him a treat some loven or whet ever spec. thing you have with him. It does take time but hang in there in the end it`s worth it.

We did not have a choise our baby grey picked us and she made her clame. I would never say one is better than the other (boy or girl)because I would be wrong. We looked for a year for a african grey befor Corky picked us and we never looked back.

In the past week there were four post on this forum that make us think about our life with our fids and how it could end in a heart beat and leave us at a loss. The first post started with joy with the celabration of Barbara 2`s Neo`s first hatch day only to turn to loss a few days later with his passing. And that there is Chezron`s Quaker Jimpster that was lost after he flew out the door of there home and the joy when a good person found him and made sure he got back to his home all safe. After I read these post I just wanted to give all my birds a big hug and just love them up because you just don`t know what the next day will bring. My heart goes out to barbara 2 for her loss and I know she will always have his memory. And my joy to chezron for Jimpster`s home comming. I know the members of this forum will always feel the loss and share the joy of each member and I beleve that is a comfort to each of us.

You diden`t think she would say yes did you.

Welcome to the forum and Rose looks great.

Welcome Zen and Zens mom. Life begins when the grey enters the house. Zen is gooood looking

Hi Joe and welcome to the forum. Read all you can because this is a life changing comitment. We are here to help so ask all the questions you want.

Taking them around the house is to see it is gret but let him/her settle in first and that they will step up so you can take them around.

My girls love them to and we also put ice cubs in the water dish and they play with ice cubs. It`s fun to watch them try to take them ouy of their dish.

I would like to start out with a welcome to the forum. Take the time and let your new grey settle in after all this is just as new to him/her as it is to you. You will get all the help you need from the members on this forum to make your new adventure a happy and sucsesfull one. Your life just changed.

Loved the slide show. Your fids look great.

Haaaaaay Pancho welcome to the zon room or if you want the green room.(And Pancho will blossom)

I will also post here. Happy days for you, your family and jimpster

Naturally IMO is the best way to dry. The hair dryer will dry out their skin. Mine love to sit there and preen and fluff up untill dry. They also seam to relaxe and look around and enjoy the view

We are all happy for you and Jimpster. We all love happy endings.

You have my heartfelt sympathey for your loss. Every one on this forum feels your pain.

Health and safty go hand and hand, And what ever we can do to make it safe for our birds is a health issue. If your birds like to perch on top of doors than that is a great idea. If we only had a way to protect the outside doors so they could not get out.

Hi and welcome to the forum. We love pictures.

Echo looks great

Never give up, keep looking and I hope Jimpster is home and safe in no time. Hang posters, check shelters, Vets, Rescue, adds.

We have a hand reared congo grey that we brought home at 14 weeks and she does not bite, but she will let you know when she has had enought. She does not brake the skin or draw blood, but she does get your attention. Oh she has been with us for 10 1/2 yesrs. Some times when we play hard she can clamp down, But it`s only rought play and it`s not intentional.

A big high to you and Daisy and welcome to the forum. And yes pictures please

Hi Rick and Sunny and welcome to the forum and we do love pictures.
