Hannah_Rae Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Hi all! My name is Hannah, and although I have been raising and caring for birds of all kinds since I was very young, I am about to get my longed for Congo Grey as a college graduation present in just a few months. I was foster mom to a Grey when I was in high school, and absolutely fell in love with everything about her. My husband and I are both very excited to add "Lolovivi" to our family. I am going to be a preschool teacher, and am very interested in incorporating my Grey into my classroom. Any tips on training, nutrition etc... would be appreciated. In Christ, Hannah Rae Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tari Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Not sure a grey is the best bird for a classroom of very young children. Amazons are general more of a love the crowd kind of bird or even a cockatiel for the classroom and then have your grey at home for you and your family. Whatever you decide I wish you luck.

danmcq Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Welcome Hannah!! Thanks for joining our Forum and the nice introduction. It's great to hear that your long awaited dream is about to come true. :-) With proper socialization with several people, your Grey will probably do just fine in the Classroom. This is premised of course, upon your very close supervision of the interaction level you allow your class of preschoolers to have. Which I would imagine would be appreciation from a distance. :-) We look forward to hearing more from you. There are many topics here on this forum ready for searching and of course we are always more than eager to help if you post any questions. Again, Welcome!!!

Hannah_Rae Posted September 12, 2007 Author Share Posted September 12, 2007 Yes, definitely from a safe distance, although teaching the 3 and 4 year olds a two finger rule will be beneficial. I find it intriguing that Greys are at nearly the same developmental level as the three and four year olds I will be teaching, so it will be interesting to see what they (the bird and the children) will be able to learn from each other. Fun fun!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
