Hello from Alaska! Owner of two Greys

[Saoirse3]

 

Hello from Soldotna, Alaska!

 

We are the owners of one CAG, one TAG, a Meyers and a Yellowside Green Cheek. Our Greys are Mojo and Layla, and we have had them for 5 years (Mojo) and 4 years for Layla. We love them dearly, although each bird has a DEFINITE preference for one or the other of us. Mojo is "Daddy's Boy" and Layla is definitely "Mommy's Girl".

 

We live on the Kenai Peninsula, and if I had a wish it would be to form a club with other bird owners here. There is a club in Anchorage, but it's 3 hours away and meets on Tuesdays - a little difficult to do, since it's a 3 hour drive each way!

 

The local pet shop here drives me NUTZ! "Oh, seed diets are just FINE for Greys, we have ONE brand of food, nothing breed specific!" They feed ALL the birds the SAME diet and their birds look miserable. There are no "animal cops" or SPCA. Birds aren't even considered as having any value at all! Mushing or hunting DOGS. They're "useful". But now I found all of you and I am SO happy!

Hello! It's great to meet you! (I was born in Alaska but we moved when I was still an infant so I didn't live there long.) Kudos to you for knowing more about your birds than the pet store. Thank goodness for the network and online ordering.

Welcome. I'm new here as well. Oddly enough I have a friend who just returned from working in Soldotna for 3 years. Well she was a recruiter for ACC so she worked all over AK, but was based in Soldotna.

Welcome to the forum. It's GreYt having you here and thanks for the introduction of you and your flock.

 

There is a ton of information here in our different rooms that you may find interesting and helpful. Since you are limited to food selection locally for your Flock, I can only assume you purchase many items from the internet and do a lot of grocery shopping to make good foods for them.

 

I look forward to hearing more ans seeing photos of your flock when you get a chance. WE love hearing stories of other greys and their mixed flocks.
