TIMS

Yes Dave. I guess you missed my last post.

I know.... I was virtually in tears myself when I went to pick him up. He spent 25 years in this cage. Never ever came out. Sad that people get a pet without any knowledge and then give them a horrible life. Infact I was close to buying a baby Grey but the moment I heard about him, I dropped all plans of buying and adopted him instead. Currently I have a kind of a balcony (6' x 4' and 9' in height) in my apartment which I'm converting into a 'Kikki' habitat. The work will start soon. Have already picked up a lot of branches of different shapes and sizes from a fallen tree. They will become perches. Now just waiting for the workers to install the steel mesh on the window grill. Once that is done, Kikki will be saying 'Bye Bye' to his cage ........ FOREVER Will keep posting pictures to let you all know how its coming along. BTW, this is my first time ever with an African Grey. So guys pleeaaasseee, bring it on with all kinds of tips and advice.

Hi folks, Here are some pictures of Kikki.

Hi. I have just adopted a 30 year old African Grey male from an old couple who had him for 25 years and could no longer look after him. His name is Kikki. Sadly, he has spent 25 years of his life in a cage. Never had any human contact. Has never felt human touch. I've had him for 2 weeks now and slowly slowly he has started coming to me for a head scratch. First thing I did; I got a nice thick branch of a tree and fixed it to the top of his cage. He loved it and has now started coming out of his cage to perch on top of it. Will need a lot of help from all of you out here to train him. Any kind of inputs are welcome. Thank you !!
