ChrisC Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Hi everybody, my name is Chris and i'm a proud new owner of Mama Mia an 8 year old girl Grey. I live in the south of France near Toulouse on an old country farm, I have lots of parakeets living in a large avery and they fly free as I have no neighbours. I have always dreamed of getting parrots especially Greys. Mama Mia is very tame and very talketive "French ofcourse" I got her from people that are moving abroad and could not take her with them. I will teach her English and as my wife is Danish so this could get interesting. I'm joining this forum to profit from your experiences and advices and share joys. I am a retired photographer but don't expect top model images as my speciality was sport like football, F1 and basketball but I will do my best. Mama Mia as expected is taking her time getting used to her new home with improvements every day and is already after only one week looking very relaxed so we are very confident that she will be very happy with us. I will soon be posting some questions to you guys soon. Kind regards Chris:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRSeedBurners Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Welcome to the Grey forums. We do like pics, crummy or not. Me personally, I'd like to see pics of Mama Mia and the aviary! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbersmom Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Hello and welcome to you and Mama Mia! I also hope you will post pics. I am lousy with photography, but like a proud parent I post them anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisC Posted April 28, 2014 Author Share Posted April 28, 2014 Thanks for your replies, I thought I had a profile foto of Mama Mia but I guess I have to read the instructions better !

Buckeye Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Make the picture your avatar instead of a profile pic because thats what people see, Mama Mia is really cute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisC Posted April 29, 2014 Author Share Posted April 29, 2014 I would like to test to see if my avatar works ? I'm still not sure how to post fotos ! do fotos need to be compressed exact to a certain size ? I have some questions to ask but I really need to get things working properly before. @+ Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisC Posted May 1, 2014 Author Share Posted May 1, 2014 Here is my home in the South west France, in the middle is my avery I built 10 years ago with 2 compartments occupied by Quaker parrots & ringnecks all flying free ! the Quakers spend all day fetching twigs to build huge nests one on top of the other. Mama Mia lives in my veranda. @+ Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
