Yes, my face is ok. A little swollen between the beak marks and painful to touch, my ear doesn't hurt. Last night my bf put her in the cage in the living room because that is where this all took place. We just left her in there dying the night. You could hear her moving all about the cage. I felt sorry for her because she is used to sleeping in the room with me. My bf asked me if I would still be feeling sorry for her if she would have gotten my eye. I told him probably not because I would still be at the hospital!! I told him I could just get an eye patch and pretend to be a pirate. (-;

Thanks!! Jesse is all entered! So fingers crossed we get randomly selected!! (-; they have some pretty neat stuff so even if she doesn't win we might still go shopping!

I've had several bites from Jesse. I have learned to take the pain and get over it. Last night took the cake. )-; we got Jesse last November. She was approximately 9 years old. I've learned some of the things that cause her to bite and I stay away from them. She has two cages, one to sleep in the bedroom and one in the living room. We have a morning ritual. I will walk by her two or three times talking to her before I attempt to pick her up, otherwise she bites. My bf drives semi so he is only home a few days a week. She has gotten to where she will bite me, even after our ritual if he is in the room. So I just leave her in there until he gets up and gets her. Last night he came home. She was on my shoulder for a while and when I backed up to her cage to let her back on, she totally attacked my face. She grabbed the side of my face and tried to play tug of war with it. Then she let go and grabbed my ear several times jerking it. I ended up having to lean over real quick to throw her off balance and she flew onto couch where I left her. I cried for I don't know how long. Although there was blood everywhere, it hurt my feelings more than anything!! He picked her up after a few minutes and locked her in her cage. Usually if she doesn't want to go back to her cage, she will just scoot higher up my arm or go to my other shoulder. Not sure what brought on the attack. I don't want to not have anything to do with her when he is home, but I tired of getting bitten when he is here!! He doesn't think she likes him because when she first met everyone she would bite. After she decides you are ok she ceases to bite unless she has a "reason". I know one thing.. No more shoulder rides!!

Hi all!! Thanks for the warm welcome!!! I tried to type a message a few minutes ago and add file but it wouldn't let me. )-; I am using my phone, so that might be why!! Can anyone tell me how to upload a profile pic!? I do have a few pics in albums but not sure how to do it!!

Hi, all!! Let us introduce ourselves and tell our story! I am Bambi (mommy) I have wanted an african grey ever since i first seen one back in 1995. A few weeks ago I finally got one. i call her Jesse. She is a CAG From what I understand of her story, she was named Smokey and is approx 9 years old. I was told that her mommy got sick and had to go to the hospital so she gave her to a nice lady so she would have a good home. I had placed an add online looking for an AG. This ladys brother seen the ad and emailed me! I went and got her that night! We have had her for about a month. She has bonded with me, and tolerates others when she wants to! She talks alot, so far she has not come out with any bad words.. I am hoping she doesnt!! We signed up so we can cruise around the site and connect with others while learning about ourselves!! Well she is yelling for me now! Have a great day!
