welcome Sheldon, enjoyed reading all about 'congo' sounds like things are going very well, I feel the same as you about this site its been a real big help to me over the last year, look forward to hearing more about congo.

oh boy just read about Roger, the things some people can do!! its made me go cold, thankfully you were there for him and clearly he is very much loved

I have CAG called Alfie he knows his name when he wants to, says my name and his own.

welcome, sadly I can offer no advice but there will be some more experienced guys along soon and I look forward to hearing your progress I'm new to the world of CAGs and learning every day.

well was hoping to hear it was a mistake you had all made at some point...............clearly one I wont be making again lol

lovely pics, keep us updated

wishing you both well in this trying time

Hi and welcome, 3 months old arrrrrh so sweet I take it you have just got your baby home, we love to see pictures

Look if your going to go to work and leave me with half a pomegranate hanging in my cage to keep me busy while your doing this 'work' thing which you seem to think your life depends on then you must expect to arrive back to 'my' corner of 'my' house looking like a blood bath in need of re decorating! whats your problem did know one on here tell you the mess they make. No Alfie sadly know one told me, but I have cleaned 'your corner' and from now on pomegranate's will not be left hanging in your cage.......did you actually eat any? No I just loved watching them splat up the walls, on the carpet, up the curtains even up the radiator, it was fun but took me seconds How Long Were You Gone!!!

Glad to hear this is normal did think it was another one of Alfies he he he got her again, silly woman falls for it every time!

welcome everyone is very helpful on here, Alfies not loud he talks a lot in fact his always chatting but not loud, don't know if I'm right but I think it depends on house hold, such as if there are children or loud music being played ect then they need to be loud to be heard

Great Pic's his such a sweetie

Great, loved it and soooo true

lol, 5 is a lot of key boards, have already learnt when Alfie's out I cant go near a pc.

Alfie is calmer at night and can do more in the way of close contact I'v always put it down to the fact his tired ?

Great idear look forward to seeing pictures when its all up and running

Great Pictures, and welcome

Great news Earthchild look forward to a very hearing progress, one thing I'm starting to understand is its not all about the bird learning a lot is about us changing our way of thinking, its a whole new world

Thanks for sharing this, a real eye opener to us less experienced owners, hope she is going on well and feeling much better

Hi please don't take any of what these guys ask or say the wrong way, they really do love their birds and have years of experience between them, I have been helped many many times, and there have been times I'v read a reply to my problem and felt a bit put out, but they have and still do support me 100% and there advice works, I'm new to Greys my Alfie is still young but I can honestly say its been harder than I throught and I'v got along way to go, if I didn't know better there have been times I would say Alfie had been wild caught, I would love to hear how things go for you and Irwin.

as hard as it is think you have made right choice, My CAG is 14 months old came home at 10 weeks as a lovely cuddle muffin, but now he is independent and head strong, I have know young children but don't think I would of been able to have worked as hard as I am with Alfie if I'd got a young family, this does not mean all CAG's are the same I can only speak from my experience, what ever you go for hope we get some updates and pictures.

lovely pictures just too cute

Welcome, you will find everyone here very supportive and helpful with loads of good advice that you don't find in the books, some of the guys here have years of experience, over the last year they have been my life line, cant wait to see some pic's

Thanks for comment made me feel real good as had lots of problems with Alfie but very slowly we are getting to a better understanding........ or should I say I'm learning! 6-8 months lovely baby, 8-12 months learnt how to bite me!! 12-14 months I'm starting to work it out.........

The cage in the back ground is not is main cage if any one is wondering its his travel cage, and used to play on in the hope he will one day go into it with out a battle lol
