Eshana Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 I'm officially moving in one month, so I'm finally ready to get a CAG or TAG! I'm going to go to my breeder once I have all the money in the bank (I started saving from my paychecks), but until then I'm open to adopting if the right grey comes along. I live in the NYC area, but could travel to New Jersey or Pennsylvania if needed.
JeffNOK Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 Good luck with your search. You are already experienced with parrots so I know you are ahead of the game. I can only say that my life with Gracie is a joy and I am sure yours will be as well with your new CAG/TAG. Keep us all posted.
Life is Greyt Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 Congrats that you finally get your place and your new fid!!
Zoom Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 I just want to say I admire your patience, and I'm so happy you're finally getting your Grey.
Eshana Posted February 10, 2012 Author Posted February 10, 2012 Oh trust me, my patience has lasted much longer than this. When I was 14 years old I volunteered at the SI Children's Museum, and they had a sort of "mascot" Sun Conure. It was my dream to have a bird after that...and I didn't get my first bird until last year at 20 years old, and my dream bird has always been a Grey. So I'm very excited! Like I said, I need to save up some money (I believe it'll take me around 8-10 weeks) but if a rescue comes along in my area, that's fine too. Trust me, I've checked craigslist, petfinder, kijiji, everything!
Thebirdistheword Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 yay good luck finding your baby grey
Malikah Posted February 11, 2012 Posted February 11, 2012 Best wishes on finding your perfect match Eshana!
Eshana Posted February 11, 2012 Author Posted February 11, 2012 Thanks for the support guys! I've been scouring the internet, but can't find a single grey in my area for rescue! What's up with that? Ah well...at least they all must have homes!

Eshana Posted February 15, 2012 Author Posted February 15, 2012 Still no luck with finding a single grey in my area! It's so funny...just two months ago they were everywhere...
fidsandfrats Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 Still no luck with finding a single grey in my area! It's so funny...just two months ago they were everywhere... I hate that-Grrrr..... I'm so excited for you. I could not imagine my life without Slater (CAG) in it. He makes me laugh each and every day. Can't wait to see the lucky grey when you find him/her.
Ray P Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 Just hang in there Eahana, there is a grey out there for you, and he /she will be special.
kins2321@yahoo.com Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 Checkout other states! Advance your search! There are many, that deal with rescues, that would travel to other states to help with transport. ( I am one of those people!) Nancy
katana600 Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 I have heard a saying something about when the student is ready, the teacher will appear. I believe you are ready for your grey and a grey will appear. You have been so diligent about learning and creating a home for you and your parrots and there is a grey out there looking for you at the same time. I didn't know I was looking when I was found by Gilbert and it is the perfect arrangement that we each needed the other at the same time. How close are you to Talon's favorite bird store in New Jersey? I have heard from other sources as well that they socialize their birds well.
chezron Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 (edited) Eshana can't wait to see your new baby! I am so glad things are working out for you. Don't worry about the lack of greys. You are very clever, and I know the perfect one will find you. Edited February 24, 2012 by chezron
TWIX Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 Yeah, i hope you find one soon so best of luck. African Greys are wonderful friends
Eshana Posted February 26, 2012 Author Posted February 26, 2012 Well, if one doesn't pop up for rescue, I'll get a baby from my favorite aviary...Fancy Feathers Aviary. Thanks for all the support, guys!
oblivion Posted March 16, 2012 Posted March 16, 2012 Hey, I was catching up on an old thread, saw your name, and got to wondering about where you've been. I hope the move and everything went well. Check in and let us know what's up!
