I am happy.

OK Forum here it is, I have never been more excited and nervous at the same time. This will be my last visit before Ruby comes home. She weighs 412g and is nothing more than a joy. She's the sweetest bird I've ever been around. She recognizes me every week (sometimes I go twice) as yell her name when I walk into the room. I've been putting her on the dogs at the breeders. She flies to me and steps up on command. She's very cognitive and fully aware that she's mine. I work every time with her playing wing inspect, lie on your back, proper behavior modification and vet visit ready. I am making her accustomed to what ever I want her to do, constantly building trust in any situation. This will be my first bird that I've ever had a cage for. I've been reading constantly out here and speaking with other bird owners/lovers. Picking through their experiences using what I believe to be scientific and common sense. The same with this forum and I thank all members for your info, experience and thoughts. I wouldn't be half as confident if it weren't for this forum's plethora of information. Nor would I be as confident with out knowing that if a problem arises I have GREY FORUM to go to. Just a big thanks to all the members out here. Luckily, a world renowned Avian Vet is 10 miles away and he's waiting on Ruby and I. I would love to hear some last minute advice if there is any. The one thing you would of changed if you could do it over again. The thing you wished you would've done. Anything is welcome. Thanks you so much GREY FORUM!

Great days should be had by all.

Drinking coffee and getting ready to go see Ruby (weaning CAG).

I AM SO GLAD TO HEAR THESE POSTS, thanks forum and OP.

My best thoughts are with you. So sorry bro, I wish I could help.

Do you all have separate cages for bedtime? No way it's quiet in my house till about midnight. I plan on having her main cage in the living room. Should I let her sleep there or use a spare bedroom with a smaller cage?

Great post Dave, I was wondering if Grey's had to have such a routine. My other birds certainally didn't have any type of routine. I like the night light idea as well. I'm reading like a mad man out here as my bird day is really close.

Welcome Bill.

Thanks KimKim.

Any more suggestions Forum. I am getting close to bird day and want to buy what I need for the kitchen. Is an iron skillet in the oven OK? I also have a glass top range are there any specific suggestions for it?

A champion to birds, well done.

Call the authorities on the sitter for child abandonment. Find a new sitter that night. Someone breaks into your house while your there, what do you do?

Nicely done cake and another great pic. Happy Birthday to Sydney Peaches!

See ya in the game room Ray.
