abieisert Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 Hi all! My name is Abigail. I wanted to introduce myself, been lurking for a brief while. We just got our first CAG 3 weeks ago after years of researching. Ziggy will be four months old on the 16th. Prior to getting him, we had 2 parakeets and one tiel. Besides myself: My husband, 2 boys, Ziggy (CAG), 2 dogs, 300 gallon freshwater aquarium. (and all of the wild critters that I feed out back) I have learned so much since I have been lurking, thank you all for the great information! Abigail

judygram Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 Hello Abigail and welcome to our family, so glad you could join us. You will learn a lot from reading thru the many threads, the members here are very helpful and likely some of the same problems that show up for you and Ziggy will have already been covered in them but don't hesitate to ask any and all questions you may have and we will help you in any way we can. So glad to hear you did your research before making the decision to bring a grey into your life and your home so you know what you are getting yourself into and will be better prepared for what is to come. We love pictures here so if you have some of Ziggy you would share with us we would appreciate it.

I am sure none of you will know what to do once Marco is able to come to his forever home! That's about how it was here...My husband works in the Gulf, so he was gone when I brought Ziggy home. All that I did until he got home was just stare....and pet...and talk....and feed....and stare...and pet...and talk...I couldn't help myself!!! When my husband got home, all he could and did do was stare...and pet...and talk....and stare...and pet....and talk!
