judygram Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Hello Lisa and welcome to our family, we are so glad you could join us and we look forward to hearing more about you, Rocky and Mango. Bless you for taking in Mango, she is a plucker but maybe with some time and the attention she needs she will stop doing that. It probably is because her former owner went back to work but she probably should be seen by an avian vet to rule out anything physical as the cause. Having the second grey will at least provide some company for Mango for when you are not at home, even being in separate cages they can chat back and forth with each other. Please read thru the many threads for lots of useful information and do ask questions you may have and we will help you in any way we can. We do love pictures here so if you have some of Rocky and Mango you would share with us we would appreciate it greatly. I see in the Live Chat window that you are having problems with uploading pics, I have provided a link that may help you with that. http://www.greyforums.net/forums/welcome-&-introduction-room/54297-how-to-post-pictures.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

judygram Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Jill is right, there is always someone on this site at all times, day or night so if you need anything all you have to do is ask but we never take the place of your avian vet who you would consult if you have a real problem. It looks like those two Mango and Rocky are getting along pretty well together, thanks for sharing the pictures with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danmcq Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Welcome!! What a pair Mango and Rocky make. It's always good to see a loving person taking in a Grey in need of rescue. Under your care I'm certain they will both grow to be all they were meant to be and get rid of any bad habits like the plucking. Thanks for sharing the photos. Looking forward to hearing more and seeing more from you. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
