Heather83 Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Hi there, I'm new to the forum here and new to posting in forums as well On Saturday I pick up my baby Grey and I am very excited! I've been doing tons of research and have gotten as prepared for his arrival as I can. I currently have a 2yr old male cockatiel named Frankie who is an absolute joy and I have 6 dogs (4 of which are foster dogs and waiting to get adopted to furrever homes) My pups do pretty well with Frankie- especially considering that 4 of them come from various backgrounds which are mostly unknown. The breeder I am getting my Grey from is a fantastic couple - very informative and is going to sit down with me on Saturday morning and go over things with me before I take my baby home. I've done lots of reading, research and I think I have reached the end of the internet and back again. I'm hoping his transition into my home is a smooth one. Any suggestions are more than welcome! Lovely to meet you all, I look forward to continuing being on this forum Heather Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heather83 Posted May 14, 2010 Author Share Posted May 14, 2010 Thank you! Yes, it's very exciting - I've been wanting one for so long! I have been having a hard time picking out a name but narrowed it down to 2: Phoenix (after the mythological bird, not the city) or Marley (after Bob not the dog LOL) and when I got into my vehicle today to go grab some lunch the first song I heard was a Bob Marley song on the radio! So Marley it is! But who knows, after getting to know him better he may 'fit' another name better... I named my cockatiel Frankie Tweets Gangster Bird b/c he was sneaky and likes steal things from me. He is quite the character! I will post pics as soon as I get them - which won't take long b/c I am a picture taking junkie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

judygram Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Hello Heather and welcome to our family, its great to hear you are about to be a grey owner for the first time I presume and if you have done your research then you should do fine but we are all here for you if you need any help or advice. You are doing exactly what we like to see new owners do and that is to learn all you can before you bring your baby home so there are no surprises but there will more than likely be a few questions you may have so feel free to ask away and one of us or many of us will chime in with our advice or opinion. We love pictures here so if you have some of your baby or if not then as soon as possible please share some with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
