greymondsmom Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I have a lovely 1.5 y.o. Congo whom I'm hoping to re-home. A change in financial circumstances has made us have to move into a small no-pets apartment, and we're about to be kicked out for his noise. I'm PRAYING I can find somebody who already has large birds. Failing that, large bird experience would be good. Our boy is terribly sweet. He follows me around and snuggles a lot. If he "needs" to be petted he will climb up your arm to your face, put his head down, and butt it against your chin. He also has absolutely excellent manners - credit goes to his breeder, not me - and has never bitten me or even acted aggressively... which shocked me at first. He's a good talker and picks up words after hearing them for just a little while. I was semi-immoble for a week or two, bumping into everything and shouting, "Ouch!" over and over again. Sure enough, by the end of the first week he was mimicking me perfectly. He can step up and also poops if you put him on the ground. If you're careful to do this every so often, your belongings will stay mostly poop-free Mostly. He hates showers. References from a vet would be preferred.

LAURIT Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Wow! Sounds like the another great Grey. It's too bad you have to get rid of him. Wish I could take him, but a baby, dog, and one bird is enough. Good luck finding a new home! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfamousAlice Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I wish you the very best luck finding a new home for your friend, he sounds wonderful. This is a very random offer but if you end up in a predicament and need a temporary place I offer my assistance. I have a CAG of my own and understand the pressures you face with little funds and a small house! Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greymondsmom Posted September 2, 2011 Author Share Posted September 2, 2011 Thank you, friends. I am trying my my hardest to work this out... I just pray he ends up happy. Even the best-sounding situation leaves me feeling worried he'll miss us at the least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eshana Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 He/she sounds really sweet! Have you contacted the breeder to let them know you're rehoming? I know that some breeders will take the bird back and rehome for you if your time is limited! Wish Boston wasn't so far away... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirstPenguin Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 I'm in CT and NYC area and recently had a rehomer flip-flop on his decision to rehome. Is your bird clipped or flighted? Has he been to a vet yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
