Thanks folks! That has been my thought as well....but I figured I'd ask anyway. I have taken my class, and now await the phone interview....and then the process should move right along and I will be able to look at birds. Can't wait to get our new Grey into our family! RIDE

So I am in the process of rescuing a parrot from Mickaboo....my wife and I are very excited. We thought that this would be a wonderful way to finally get the parrot we've wanted to for so long, and to help out a great organization as well. My first choice is of course an African Grey....and once I get through the interview process, I will be able to look at birds. From what I hear...there are 3 or 4 Greys to choose from at this moment. I guess my question is, and it may sound weird, but at what age would you consider a bird too old? Considering it's our first parrot...we want a bird that we can work with, grow old with , and have for many, many years to come. We did think about getting one from a breeder...and starting fresh so to speak...but we really want to give Mickaboo a try. Any help and suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. RIDE

Thanks for the warm welcome folks! I am super excited to bring a Grey into our family. I look forward to contributing to this forum as well. RIDE

Love that cage! RIDE

Hey all! Great forum...I've been reading TONS and have got a lot of great tips and advice. I've wanted a Grey for many years, and my wife and I are finally ready to move forward. I am in the process of working with Mickaboo rescue and hope to be able to get our Grey in the next few weeks. We'll see what birds are out there, and which seem to be a good fit for us. I am really excited and looking forward to being a part of this wonderful community! RIDE
