Thank you!

I'm new, and am delighted to have found this forum. Thanks to all admins, moderators and members.

 

It would be really cool if members listed their bird info in their sig lines...those of us researching CAG/TAF behavior could really benefit from knowing the age and subspecies when reading all these informative posts.

 

Can't wait to read more!

Thank you Michelle and we are glad that you find us interesting. Admin or mod we are just like you and that is we are members of this great forum and we are here to help not only new members, but any member in need of help and to share our life with not only our greys, but with other parrot species that are part of our flock.

Thanks for joining us Michelle, we are just as glad to have new people coming in and sharing the journey. The signature line suggestion is a great idea but it may be too complex. Many of us have rehomed greys and other flock members that don't have a clear age, just a range. It would be a great time for each of us to update our profiles to include that information. Also, grey behavior is so individual and unique that each person's experience depends on the background, age, innate personality of individuals and the particular day in which we experience them. We couldn't interpret any given post as being a trait among flock members. Some things can be generalized, like getting a rehomed grey and progressing slowly to learn the body language and tolerance of the particular individual, or bringing home a baby and all the worries that come with first time companions. We are all really open to questions and in time we learn more about our particular flockmate. As far as the difference between the Congo African grey and the Timneh, I have had both and still couldn't tell you what they are like. LOL. They will keep changing the definition every time we attempt to describe it. Thanks so much for your appreciation. You have some good ideas for threads to take a fresh new look at the joys of grey companionship.

Some are not willing to list their birds as a safety issue, trying to keep their flocks safe from theft or government oversite.
