Timneh vs Congo?

[Conweigh]

Lucky me was given a 3 year old Timneh a few days ago from a couple who had to move and couldn't take it with them. I have 1 question for any of ya'll

Timneh owners. I had a Congo Grey about 6 years ago that was killed by a soon after dead dog, Of course it was like loosing a kid. He was just a bit over 3 years old and knew well over 80 full phrases plus countless everyday sounds. I hadn't considered getting another one because to me, I know I couldn't replace a kid, and I couldn't replace Kito either. Could any of you who have experienced both TAG and CAG tell me if as far as taken care of them any differences, or are they pretty much the same as far as food. I totally got out of the bird thing because, well you know. I was a little reluctant to take the TAG, knowing that CAG's bond with pretty much 1 person in the family. I expected it to totally reject me, but to my surprise we hit it off right from the start. I know I'm rambling on so I'll close.

Any help would be appreciated

The reason you could not find it is because it should be spelled puerile. It means childish or silly.

Haven't any of you lot got anything better to do than hurl purile insults at each other.

First of all, so sorry about Kito. I know that must have been horrible! I have 2 dogs and a cat indoors, along with my TAG. I have to close off part of the house when she's out....which is most of the time.

Congrats on being owned by another Grey. Mia, my TAG, is about 2 1/2 years old. I feed her Harrisons Bird Food -High Potentcy. This was the food recommended by my avian vet. It's expensive but is a complete food with no need for (or recommended) additional fruits nuts veggies etc needed for a normal diet. I'm disabled so it makes it easier not to have to provide all of the fresh foods. Although we still "share" a bannana or apple every day.

I think the only thing the food container suggests...if you really want to is dark green leaf veggies.

Hey, I don't work for them but Mia is doing great, althought it look about three months to move her from Pretty Bird to Harrisons. anyway if you wanted to check it out the address is

www.harrisonsbirdfoods.com They have some good general information on their site as well.

Good luck being trained by your new friend.

How come the dead dog now sits on your lap, have you had it stuffed?

[Guest lowang59_98]

Ray, at least I have friends. What's your excuse for the life that you have?

Are there no rules here?

[Guest]

There are rules and some people were banned...

[Dee Dee Warren]

'kay..... not that I can't play rough. I am an owner of a theology debate board, I just didn't expect flame-throwing at an african grey board!!!!

Hi Dee Dee Warren,

 

No offense intended. It just that we had too many spammers here and the admin started banning them, thank god...

 

So,

Do you have a parrot, or you just like them?

[Dee Dee Warren]

Yes I have two parrots, one Grey and one severe. No attachments allowed?

 

The Grey is Annie and the Severe is Sydney.

 

Annie sez she is much more attractive than either of the two that are pictured in the forum header btw.

OMG! I know this is an old post and you probably have the answer to you're ques.

I own both and I much prefer the Timneh..they are much more laid abck and not as "snotty" as the Congo, food is the same for both.
