Hello, my name is Louie. I'm a photographer who hasn't recently fell head over heels for birds. I purchased to be sun conures about a month ago. One week after that I rescues a parakeet and a cockatiel. Then a week ago I get a call from a friend who's mother inlaw has an 18 year old congo grey that she can no longer take care of and asks if I wanted him, I said yes. I went to pick him up and the lady reached out her hand and he stepped up on it then she handed him to me and he stepped up on me. Now he's at my home and it's a new ball game and I knew it would be. I took a 18 year old out of the home he has been in all his life and he's scared. Now I have the task of trying to gain his trust and I believe it's going to be a long road. I work from home so I moved my desk by his cage so I am by him at least 6 hours a day in my family den. I figured the more interaction the better. I have started to change his diet from a mixed food he was on to a diet of that food, harrison's pellets, and fresh fruit and veggies. So far so good with the food. Any advice on getting this beautiful bird to bond with me would be great. It's like having a Christmas present you can touch LOL. I look forward to talking with y'all.

Great introduction Louie, welcome to our little piece of heaven where we can talk about our parrots with like minded friends. I like the part of "having a Christmas present you can touch LOL". The LOL is that you can touch them when they darn well agree to that. LOL. It will come and you will be amazed that you waited so long to discover the wonder and laughter that is life with parrots. Thanks again for joining us.
