reggieroo Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 I just wanted to share that with everybody. I've wanted one for 10 years now & I finally have my very own little grey friend. I've had him now for 7 weeks but I still think "WOW I can't believe I have an African grey" I look forward to many years of fun with Murphy.

Luvparrots Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Yes it is exciting!!!! And I totally understand!!! I waited over 30 years for my parrot! My sweet Ana Grey! Enjoy Reggieroo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reggieroo Posted May 1, 2010 Author Share Posted May 1, 2010 He is now 19 weeks old & doesn't say much yet but he is trying, there is a video in the Nursery of Murphy babbling at 13 week old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JillyBeanz Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 19 weeks ago seems such a long time ago with Harvey - and he's only 17 months old! They quickly firmly establish themselves in your lives - and you wonder what you did before you had them! Still, nearly 14 months on, I still rush home and don't detour to the shops or friends like I used to - and we hang about the house a lot more now - the effects these things have on you! I hope you continue enjoying Murphy's company for a very long time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
she Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 I know exactly what you mean. Charlie is such a constant large part of my life. I simply cant remember what life was like before I had this grey bundle of fun and mischief around.I still vividly remember first bringing him into the house almost 7 yeas ago.

pearllyn Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 I really get you - I decided in the early 1990s that I would like a grey - Alfie is now 2 years old and I still get that "WOW" factor! I wish you many many happy years with Murphy. P.s. Janet - 30 years......really? Wow!! I thought I'd waited a long time - you must have the patients of a saint!

Elvenking Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 I have a post I made from a few weeks ago saying the same thing. You look at them sometimes and you just can't believe that you ahve one. Like you, i wanted on all of my life. Either a Cockatoo or A Grey. I picked a Grey because I love how clever and interactive they are. Issac constantly amazes me with both his beauty and smarts. They are majestic little creatures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reggieroo Posted May 3, 2010 Author Share Posted May 3, 2010 I think once you have met one somewhere & spent some time with an African grey they leave a lasting impression that you don't forget. For some people like all of us on here we just had to have our very own grey friend & that's what we did ...................Lucky us!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elvenking Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Yep, prior to getting Issac, I walked into a pet store and there was one sitting on a perch. I walked up and started making sounds, and he was copying me. It was so endearing, I think at that moment my mind started working on how I could finally get one of these babies in my life. By the time I had an appointlment with a breeder after much research...I knew I'd be coming home with a baby soon. I am so happy it is a reality now.

reggieroo Posted May 3, 2010 Author Share Posted May 3, 2010 I used to have some friends who had greys & at one friends house in particular I would spend hours just interacting with her. He would then moan at me next time I seen him that I had taught her stupid stuff......lol. It was after that, that I fell in love with them & knew one day I had to have my own grey.
