Stevie Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 (edited) Well fokes,my 10 year old grey landed with us yesterday,what a fabulous bird.jasper my amazon,whoosh,straight over to have a look,jess wasnt to impressed.So far ive managed to have jess sit in my shoulder all afternoon,and taken grapes and other food off me,no lunges yet.My dilemma is,do i keep her in her old cage till she gets used to me,which is probably best,or do i try and get her in her new home asap?Any advice from my fellow grey lovers will be so useful,on any matter.I think im doing ok so far,but this is only her first full day.I will put some pics up , Many thanks to you all. steve and jess;) Edited August 18, 2011 by Stevie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morana Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Congratulation!! I can't wait the pictures and stories to follow! I just wanted to point out one thing. You shouldn't let Jess have contact with Jasper till you have Jess checked out at your avian vet. The sooner, the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

judygram Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Congrats on getting Jess home and it looks to be going smoothly but be prepared for a few bumps along the way as she settles into her new home, it is sort of the "honeymoon" phase right now and more of her true personality will emerge in the coming weeks and months but enjoy, now where are the pictures!

Dave007 Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 If Jess likes the cage, if you like the cage, if the cage is in good shape, if the cage is the proper size then keep it. If he uses the cage in order to get aggressive with you, change the cage. So far, from what you say there's no problems but as Judy says, there's that Honeymoon Stage so let things stay status quo until you learn more about his habits and true personality.
