jeanna Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Hi, my name is Jeanna and the feathered love of my life came home on March 20. I've had him almost a month now and can't seem to find the right name for him because none of them seem to fit quite right. He is the happiest bird I've ever met though! I've had birds for most of my 22 years of life: three cockatiels and a cherry head conure, as well as finches and doves and chicks and ducklings. Now I have a bird who will hopefully stay with me for the rest of my life! I'm so happy to have found this online community, I'm sure it will be extremely helpful for me as a new grey owner. I'll post some pictures and stories of my bird in the nursery next, maybe you guys can help me name him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JillyBeanz Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Hi Jeanna and welcome to our family! Get that bird a name!! Your grey will learn his name very quickly and will answer when you call him!! I hope you'll enjoy it here - there are so many knowledgeable people who can help you out. I too had a cockatiel - and sharp found out the contrast between my cockatiel and my grey - the differences are HUGE! Harvey (my grey) is far more entertaining, but equally far more frustrating in some of the things he does, but a grey will be a grey! Any questions you have - go ahead and ask them - nothing is deemed stupid. Please read through the posts of the veggies and fruits that are toxic, some things that you would never dream of. Can't wait to see some photos either! Hope you enjoy it here, and welcome again x PS. If I had another grey I would call him "Archie" ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvparrots Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Hi Jeanna. You didn't say if your grey a baby or older. Perhaps once we learn more about your grey maybe we can help with the naming. I didn't find a name for my grey until I had a chance to get to know her and then her name just popped into my head. Ana Grey is my little sweetheart. Jeanna, I'm looking forward to hearing more about your grey and seeing some pictures. Welcome to the Grey family! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xtreme575 Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Hi Jeanna and your yet to be named baby Grey from a little north of you. I'm in Vancouver, so it's nice to know that I have someone online that understands my rain complaints. Our friends from the sunny UK just don't understand... Sigh! In all seriousness, welcome, now name your baby! If I hand't found Paco to be so funny that he makes me crack right up and laugh out loud, his name would have been Cooper.

Our friends from the sunny UK just don't understand... Sigh! Ha Ha Ha! Oh yes, tropical it is here!! I just don't know how those floods happen! Anyway - doesn't it only snow in Vancouver - it's only famous for the WINTER Olympics!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeanna Posted April 20, 2010 Author Share Posted April 20, 2010 Ha Ha Ha! Oh yes, tropical it is here!! I just don't know how those floods happen! Anyway - doesn't it only snow in Vancouver - it's only famous for the WINTER Olympics!!! Haha, I always heard that the UK was just as miserable and rainy as it is here! I don't know about Vancouver, but we have the best summers in Seattle. It gets really warm and sunny without any of the unbearable heat or humidity, plus a nice gentle breeze to keep things cool. Except when we have a heat wave for weeks like last summer and all the AC and fans are sold out everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtreme575 Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Ha ha Jill! I was waiting for you to bust me! Actually, we don't even really get that much snow, and when it does, we all go into a panic and stay home. We had to have the snow brought in from the interior by dump-truck and helicopter at astronomical costs. Jeanna, your weather is our weather, that's how close we are.
