Jakesbirds Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Hello my name is Jake. I will be getting a congo african grey in a couple weeks. I thought I might join this website to help me learn a little more. I have been doing TONS of research. I have two guinea pigs, two budgies and a lot of chickens that I own and take care of. I really enjoy all animals in general. I am hoping the grey will be a great addition to my life. Here is the most recent picture the breeder has sent me. Thanks for reading!

Life is Greyt Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Welcome to the forum Jake. . Any ideas on what you will name your little one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakesbirds Posted February 5, 2012 Author Share Posted February 5, 2012 Thanks everyone I feel so welcomed. As for names, I like the older style names. I have tought about Oliver. I havent really thought of any good names for a girl. The breeder is going to send of the information of it to be dna sexed in about 3 weeks. Plus I will get to meet him/her around that time so it might make it easier to decide. But I am open for any suggestions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Life is Greyt Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Oliver is really cute. I would be the worst one to give you name advice because it took me until right before my Chickie came home to name her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
