Morana Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 (edited) Hi Steve and welcome! :-) Very great of you for wanting to adopt and older Grey in need and giving her a forever home:-) You'll do good if you go through threads that are already here and we'll try to fill in if you have any more questions. You already know that patience is crucial and if this Grey has serious issues it will take time. The pertinent thing for Jess is to find her a nice big cage, avian vet that you trust, lot of different kinds of toys...and soon we'll be talking about the rest;-) You should get her checked out by an avian vet when you get her home, or even ON the way home. Maybe it would be good idea to do schedule the check up so that you get everything done in one day (if you can) to avoid extra stress for we don't know how will she react to driving, carrier,... Afterwards, just nice and easy.. Let her come out of her cage on her on pace, offer treats, talk to her a lot... Don't push anything and you'll do great:-) Love to hear more about you and your new member of your family and we would love some pictures:-) Edited August 9, 2011 by Morana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie Posted August 9, 2011 Author Share Posted August 9, 2011 Thank you for the kind welcome,and words of advice.Jess is having a new cage delivered on wednesday,much larger than the wee thing she is in at the moment,we took jasper our amazon to see her on sunday,didnt bat an eye,jasper is bomb proof,lol,we had jasp from 10 weeks old,you would think we had her for years,very useful with me at home all day everyday,jess will get all the attention she needs. Many thanks again ,this is a great family to be a member of.wonderful to be among lovers of our feathered friends. steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

judygram Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Many kudos for adopting this older grey Jess and giving her a new forever home where she will get the love and attention she so deserves. Just give her time to settle into her new home and allow her time to unpack her baggage so her true personality will shine thru. Some pictures would be very welcome.
