Timbersmom Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 Guess you may be going from notagrey to sortagrey since you have other birds??
NOT A GREY Posted June 6, 2013 Author Posted June 6, 2013 If it all works out and I get him I will have 2 macaws and 2 u2,s and one grey
judygram Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 Finally we get you to get a grey, knew you couldn't live without one and once you have one you will wonder how you got along before, that's great or should I say greyt, now make it two greys and you will have two of each, can't wait to hear more.

Luvparrots Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 Welcome Big Boy. My but he is a handsome lad! More info please. How is Big Boy settling in? Details please!
SRSeedBurners Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 That second pic - "Care for a peanut?". He's a cutie. What's his demeanor like?
kins2321@yahoo.com Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 Handsome and happy! Now the training begins! Yours! Lol Nancy
NOT A GREY Posted June 13, 2013 Author Posted June 13, 2013 lol he seems nice........ he has only been here a few hours. he alows us to pet him through the cage wire
murfchck Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 Welcome Big Boy! Thank goodness my flock stopped with 1 U2, (2 Cags, 2 macaws) Our greys hang out on our shoulder while we play with the big guys, it is a blast! They greys are so different with their strong opinions, and you learn to obey them or pay the price!!
NOT A GREY Posted June 14, 2013 Author Posted June 14, 2013 so far I have to say I expected him to be much more fussy! and he hasnt been he has taken and tasted every single food I have offered him. he even ate a pellet.......he has been on seed so I didnt think he would. but I sat here and watched him eat it I let him out of his cage today and he promptly came off the cage and wanted to explore. he doesnt step up........ but when I put my hand out to ask him to he doesnt bite...... he lowers his head like he wants me to pet him. I do and he goes on about ignoring my request lol! I have no intentions of forcing the issue. but day 2 has gone very well. he is very at home upside down also. he hangs like this often lol! looks like the picture is upside down
Luvparrots Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 Big Boy is certainly enjoying himself. Hopefully the honeymoon will continue!
kins2321@yahoo.com Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 A happy boy for sure! Remember, training begins the moment your baby walks in the door.No matter the age. Develop the trust, and he will be putty in your hands!(He will think YOU are putty in HIS hands!) LOL Nancy
Mistyparrot Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 That a fine looking Grey. I hope you will all be very happy. I guess you could change your name to "And a Grey":) Steve n Misty
NOT A GREY Posted June 18, 2013 Author Posted June 18, 2013 so far so good he allows me to pet him but doesn't fully trust me....... he takes food gently and loves berries 1
danmcq Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 Nice photos. He is coming along nicely it seems, as you continue to go slowly in building trust.
KevinD Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 Looks like the previous caretaker took good care of your new friend!
