Amit Gomes Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Hi People, Hope all of you are Greyt After a lot of contemplation, reading through forums, talking to people & a lot of helpful advice from this forum I finally decided to commit myself to owning a CAG & providing the care & nurturing they need. To be honest, I was a little doubtful if I was going to be able to take care of a CAG but after a few visits to pet store around here & after seeing & hearing about the way some people handle the birds here in Dubai, I realised that a bird had a better chance of having a happy & fruitful life with me than at one of these pet stores, living in a small cage with only sunflower seeds to eat n water to drink. So without any further ado..Please meet Dexter...My 6 month old CAG.. It was love at first sight with Dexter, who seemed friendly n looked healthy as well. I couldn't bear to see him in a little cage with no space to flap his wings n I brought him home immediately. Its been two weeks since I got him & I've been spending all my free time with him hence its taken me so long to even log in & post some pics of him. He seems to be a happy camper & has adjusted to me & my wife pretty well. I am amazed by how smart he is. On day one he only growled n made a soft birdie noise. Today, just two weeks in, he makes a variety of sounds & noises & also attempts to say words. He isnt able to pronounce anything clearly yet but I am sure he will start soon. He's already learnt how to step up & gladly jumps on to my hand at times even if I dont ask him to step up. His favourite perch though seems to be my shoulder n loves to sit n nibble my ears while I am working on the computer or reading. Let me end by telling all of you, its such a joy to have him with us & we have had to make adjustments to our life & schedules but it is so worth it...I know its only been two weeks & a CAG is a lifetime commitment but I am sure we will be greyt parents to our sweetheart Dexter.
