Here are some pics of Mr.Greyson. One pic is him still in his little "crib"at 5 wks the other is Greyson taking his much loved bath. he is 4mos old . Im still having trouble getting photos on here from photobucket. I get errors everytime saying incorrect file or something- will try to work on it later but for now I hope this works-

Morana...PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE...NO OFFENSE WAS TAKEN IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM ... There is absolutely no appology needed.... I didn't feel in any way that pity nor sympathy was given just merely letting you know a little bout me and how I came to be here on this forum.. I look forward to getting to know you *************One other thing to remember 'bout me is that I love to laugh and cut up and I try not to let "LIFE" get me down,it's no fun being so serious about everything all the time ********** I truly appreciate your admiration--- THANK YOU ALL FOR ALL THE WARM WELCOMES-- I do have a photobucket account-- I will have to play around on the forum to see if I can get some pics on here-- any help or suggestions would greatly be honored!! :-)

Thank you for the warm welcome morana and Judygram...I wish I had known of this forum when I had lost Robyn. It was one of the most devastating times to go through alone. My hubby is of great support and he loves animals but he doesn't quite understand the undying love and admiration I have for them. It is as if they are my children which really they are cause they depend on my for everything and they are truly self-sacrificing creatures when it comes to us silly humans. we humans can learn alot from the animals.... I tried to download pics of Greyson when I registered but I kept getting error msgs and it was really late...or early...depends how ya look at it ...So I will try again later today and see if I can get some up! Please do not have pity or sympathy for my Journey in life..Like you Morana. I am just totally GREATFUL to be alive and if I have to indur some pain while here, well that's ok too.. I know Im here for a reason..just havent figured that part out yet...:-) I am sure that there are far more ppl that are in worst shape than I so I really just try to live day by day and not sweat the small stuff ya know... one thing about me is that I DO try to find at least one good thing in everything that is bad... Yes I lost my "best buddy" in Robyn but I had 10 glorious years with him and from his loss I gained Mr. Greyson.. so see?????? He was truly a character and always knew when to make me laugh-- Greyson is now learning what he has limits now and he's not liking them very much so I honestly feel like I have my 2 yr old grandaughter here all the time!!! :-) He said his 1st word at 9 1/2 wks old which was "hello" I actually have it on tape (cause I knew no one would believe me ..lol) **** He can say .......you know when they do something bad and you say what sounds like ?? not sure how to spell it but I think something like this "aht" "aht" "aht"... He can do 2 types of whistle (one for calling the dogs and the other one is the "pretty" whistle and at Christmas I would whistle "Jingle Bells" he hasn't gotten that quiet down but he tries oh so very hard-and just this week he learned how to give "Razzberries" and at the appropriate time He is a determined little devil is what he is...and he blows kisses!!!! -- Well got to get ready to go to the doc's when I get back I will try to get some pics poste== again thank you for the very kind welcome--

Hi everyone. I am really just looking for a site that I can feel welcomed and talk about what I thoroughly love and that's my CAG (and other babies,too) --whew..got that out the way-- a little 'bout me I am currently disabled. I am owned by Greyson. my 4 mos old male (DNA'd) CAG- he is pretty special- he was "born" on 9/11/10 He is my very 1st African Grey however I am not "new" to the bird world. 2 mos before I got Greyson, I had a 28 yr.old miligold macaw named robyn-he was prone to siezures badly but I rescued him, changed his diet and was able to enjoy 10 yrs with the most fab friend in the world. I was so devastated by his passing that my sweet hubby couldn't bear my sadness any longer and he found Greyson, he was 3 wks old when hubby purchased him for my b'day - He was being hand fed by the breeder, I lived 35 miles one way to the breeder so I was only able to get to see him once a week due to a long history of back surgeries and a horrific car accident that took place 2yrs ago this coming spring- long story short. broke 11 ribs, shattered an ankle,ruptured a lung and heart stopped twice.) this happened 7 days after my 6th back surgery (I was on my way for my post op appt)I beat the odds from what the doc's sd after many surgeries and tons of PT I am walking -yea me!!-- I just had my 7th back surgery for doc's to implant a new nerve stimulator in my spine----anywho, it was getting really tough for me to get to the breeders and I REALLY wanted to bond with Greyson with the hand feeding and the breeder felt confident in my abilities to raise this little guy so she allowed me to bring him home when he was only 6 wks old and the rest of the story is a learning experience that I have enjoyed to the fullest. He has brought so much joy to my heart and has taken away alot of pain and sadness from missing Robyn.. I did all kinds of research on African Greys b4 I brought Greyson home and to my hysterical amazement- HE is opposite of everything I have learned! so that's my story and I'm stickin to it! ;)
