Hello everyone, I just though id introduce myself quick. This is my first bird, she (the breeder believes its a female but not sexed) is a 5 month old congo african grey. I brought her home yesterday and we have been getting along very well she is already very friendly and her and my dog (long haired chihuahua) have been getting along well, at least they dont seem to mind eachother at all. Im In Menominee, MI which is in the u.p of MI but right on the border of WI. Im like a hour north of green bay, wi. Ill look forward to spending some time on here with my fellow grey owners! - Joey

Thanks everyone, the breeder had her named pickle and im thinking of changing it but havent thought of anything yet, is there a list of girl parrot names on here or anything?

Thanks everyone, she has been really quite friendly so far. A little shy at times still but shes doing very well. Thanks for the couple name suggestions I kinda like sylvia but im just not sure, I might keep it pickle, if you have any other suggestions let me know.

 

Also what are some websites that have the best prices for cages online?<br><br>Post edited by: holmes14, at: 2010/02/26 23:19

Well i decided to name her Pebbles! She has been alot of fun, we have been getting along great. I ordered a new cage for her today, its a prevue playtop bird cage and the dimensions are 36x24x66 which I think should be a good size for her. Heres a link to what it looks like, although this isnt where I ordered it from. I bought it from a local store and got a really good deal on it brand new. let me know how you like it. http://www.windycityparrot.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=19301101084&Category_Code=Prevue&Product_Count=11

Thanks everyone, ill get some new pics of her once i get the cage up and everything. I was wondering where is a good place to order some toys/perches/swing for her? Is there a popular site that is good on prices? I also want to get a perch that can go in the shower.

Nice cage, and again, Pebbles is a great looking bird, and I like the name too.

 

There was a posting I saw yesterday that someone had put links on for toys, and they were amazing. Search around in the Grey Lounge, I wish I had bookmarked the site now, but I like searching around in here so much that I didn't think I'd need it quite so soon...

Thanks, I actually ended up making my own shower perch using someones directions in the toy making forum. (I made mine a little different but its basically the same design, it works great!) I also went on dr. foster and smith and ordered a flight suit w/ leash and a nice big triangle swing along with other toys and what not. Ill get some pics once i get everything set up, the new cage will be here mon. I cant wait!

Very good! Your lucky if your handy... I can't even make a "Build-A-Box" :blush: The link that Judy sent is my favourite that I have ever seen, and I am def going to use it, they are all exactly what my Grey loves to play with!

 

Remember, lots of wood, we could all probably start toothpick businesses with how much they enjoy shredding wood!
