ok thanks..
well first off his name is mango, he is about 5 years old and i will be his 3rd owner. after the loss of my very young love bird, he was given to me from a family member who had 5 greys in an outdoor aviary and wanting to down size, gave me a grey. im not absolutely sure he's a male but the previous owners believe he is. hes seems very mellow and has been eating and accepting food from my hand. he already has some words in his vocabulary and has been talking to me often. i havent attempted to pick him up yet but he does let me rub his back and puts his head down for me to scratch him. he also has been coming out and sitting on top of his cage whenever he gets the chance. ive been making him toys to occupy him because our location is remote and doesnt have any sort of bird store. he is the first grey i have ever had and i havent cared for a parrot since i was very young.... well thanks for any pointers!!
