rawleyd Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Hi! Rawley here.. 3 days away from going to pick up my CAG Sylvia. I haven't met her yet, as she is over 450 miles away in Ohio (I live in Virginia, USA) so I am super excited and also very nervous. :rolleyes: In my avatar is one picture of her, I believe she is the one facing us with the tag on her left foot. I'm getting her from this nice Bird Store that took me months to decide on. Here's a link to their website, it's really great and has lots of videos of different birds and their shop. I suggest browsing around because the store looks like an incredible place, I can't wait to visit. I wish I had somewhere like this around where I live... http://parrotville.com/BirdsAvailableVideosPage/BirdsAvailableVideosPage4.htm the first two videos on this page are Sylvia and her sister Rosebud during their daily playtime. enjoy! Thank you so much for this forum... what a great place for information, it's been a huge help to me over the past few months. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joolesgreyuk Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Welcome Rawleyd, most members here get their greys direct from the breeders but my Beau was also bought from a reputable store - they aren't all rogues though I know many are. You are in for very exciting times with a new grey, they certainly bring lots of joy with them but they are also quite needy, t looks like having been a long time visitor to the forum so have done your homework and are well aware of this though. Should you need any help or advice though we have many knowledgeable members here who can advise you, just ask away. We look forward to reading about Sylvia's homecoming and the months and years that follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rawleyd Posted June 8, 2010 Author Share Posted June 8, 2010 Thank you for the welcome Joolesgreyuk. AFAIK, this store breeds and raises all sorts of different parrots. They have their own nursery and have been doing it for over 20 years (husband and wife). It took me what seems like FOREVER to find a place that I was comfortable with their methods, lol. I can't wait to bring her home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rawleyd Posted June 8, 2010 Author Share Posted June 8, 2010 jilly and jacarual, thanks for the welcome! I have finally taken the "leap" as you call it after years of wanting to be the owner of a Grey. I almost can't believe it's really happening. I am so excited and nervous that it's almost making me sick to think about it LOL.... I can't wait. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danmcq Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Welcome Rawley and Congratulations on getting your beautiful CAG soon!!! It's GreYt having here and thanks for posting the link to the store. I did enjoy viewing their videos, nursery abd photos. They are a far cry from most pet stores. Really there are not many comparable, but they do exist and I believe set the standard other stores should follow. Looking forward to hearing updates and seeing photos, videos etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
