Need a new home for my TAG. East Tennessee area

[n5odj]

Howdy. I've had my Timneh African Gray since he was old enough to come home with me. He (DNA Test confirms sex) was born on May 1, 1989. He is healthy & has tons of character. Sometimes he's as sweet as can be & sometimes he tries to remove fingers. :-0

 

Anyway, I am a truck driver who is away from home for months at a time. My wife & I are going our separate ways & Deebee needs a home. Obviously I don't want to sell him. I'd much rather give him to someone who knows a few things about parrots & would give him a good home.

 

As much as I hate to do this, I just don't think taking him in the truck with me would be an ideal solution.

 

Included is a large oak cage. This is in east Tennessee (Erwin, TN) & since I'm so rarely home, I'm not sure I can deliver him. Might be best if you'd plan a trip to Erwin.

Oh, so sorry to hear this. He is no doubt very close to your heart and it is painful to need to rehome such a loved one. But, from the sound of your situation, it does sound like rehoming would be best at this time where he could get more constant loving attention. I hope someone on this forum that lives in your area well perhaps be able to take in Deebee.

Wish I lived closer to Tennessee...

I'm sorry to hear about your need to rehome your grey. I too live too far from you to help as I would take him and return him to you if your situation ever changed. Good luck with finding Deebee the right home.

This is a topic near and dear to my heart. First, I am so very sorry for the circumstances and know you have already spent a lot of time making your decision for Deebee. I am just northeast of Atlanta and would help while you seek a new home for him if its urgent to get him to a home while you continue to look for a permanent solution. If you want to send me a private message, I will send you my email address if there is a way I can help you find the best home for Deebee.

I have a friend who is interested in Deebee. She has been with me through Gilbert's rehoming and has loved Miss Gilbert even when she was working through her issues. Traci is kind and patient. She has experience with a smaller parrot and isn't expecting a cuddle muffin. The first question she asked was how much I would be willing to be involved to help her with the transition, and I will be willing to commit to it fully. My home email is dconfer@bellsouth.net. I live just about four hours from Erwin and I am willing to drive up with her to meet with you.
