lovemyGreys Posted January 1, 2008 Author Posted January 1, 2008 Soldier took a walnut from my hand {Feel-good-000200A2} chucked it on the floor but continued to accept food from me How happy am i this morning ?? :laugh:
danmcq Posted January 1, 2008 Posted January 1, 2008 You are beamingly (is that a word ;-) )this morning!! That is great progress Tracy. You are really doing a fine job in the re-homing of that poor Soldier. {Feel-good-000200BB}
lovemyGreys Posted January 2, 2008 Author Posted January 2, 2008 Dan not a great picture as he freaks out with the camera ! i have to take it from a distance but here he is preening
danmcq Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 Thats a great photo of Soldier Tracy! He looks so happy and content just preening away. Thanks for posting it. :-)
spookyhurst Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 Soldier is coming along great! You must be super proud of your boy .
nevjoe Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 Tracy, Tracy, Tracy. You're the real deal. To bad your far away, I might try to slipe in and steal you away. Joe
Nychsa Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 Awesome Tracy!!!! Congrats! How's he with the other boys? Does he interact with them?
lovemyGreys Posted January 6, 2008 Author Posted January 6, 2008 Well i moved soldier's cage nearer to the birdroom as he seemed to be really intrested in the other 3 greys. He kept climbing on the door so i a put a perch up for him, he sat chatting to Coco Alfie & freddie ignored him as you will see in the picture, they were more concerned with wreckinh the place !! He seemed real happy sitting on one leg with Coco making gooey eyes at him :laugh: not a great picture, i have dropped my camera & its gone funny
Nychsa Posted January 6, 2008 Posted January 6, 2008 Aww - well, if he has a new friend in Coco, that's awesome! How's he doing food wise? Is he getting into vegies and stuff or does he stick to pellets?
bobby2007 Posted January 6, 2008 Posted January 6, 2008 Haven't been on for a while but just read this whole story, you're amazing! Thank God for kind hearted people who rescue animals. My grey who has had a very rough couple of years being moved from pillar to post is making progress all the time...just takes a lot of love and time. Happy New Year! X X
spookyhurst Posted January 6, 2008 Posted January 6, 2008 That's such a cute picture of Soldier and Coco :kiss:. Maybe they were comparing war stories. It's great that he is coming along so well!
KatB Posted January 6, 2008 Posted January 6, 2008 Hmm, looks like Soldier and Coco might be thinking about becoming mates? Are they male and female? Great photo, can't wait to see more!
DUKEdevils36 Posted January 6, 2008 Posted January 6, 2008 Great picture. seeing alfie and freddie in the back ground makes me laugh for some reason. haha
lovemyGreys Posted January 6, 2008 Author Posted January 6, 2008 KatB yes Soldier is male & Coco female Thank you all for your kind words,your the best
danmcq Posted January 6, 2008 Posted January 6, 2008 That's really cool Tracy. I believe you said you thought he was also a wild caught Grey? If so, he may not only be falling in love with Coco, but he wants to be back with a flock of Greys too, I would suspect. It's wonderful to see him blossoming with your loving and gentle ways. :-)
lovemyGreys Posted January 6, 2008 Author Posted January 6, 2008 Thanks Dan, i do believe there is love in the air Coco seems to be smitten ! Yes will do believe he was imported , but at what age we dont know My aim in the long run is to have a content grey who wants to live with the other three as part of a flock.
KatB Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 Hey, Tracy, how about an update on Soldier? Is he one of the gang, yet? Have he and Coco paired up? Is he still in his cage or has he moved into the commune? We want to know the rest of the story!
lovemyGreys Posted January 21, 2008 Author Posted January 21, 2008 :laugh: Thanks for the intrest Kat.Soldier is still living in our lounge but he is adjacent to the birdroom,he shows great interest in the other three & i do believe given time & confidence he will join the others,he constantly flies on to the door & sits watching them, i want him to make the decision to join them, not me ! i leave the door open & im sure one day he will just fly in He has become more vocal since i got him & i just discovered he loves Dolly Parton ( the kids got me a CD ! )He whistles along to her :laugh: So all in all were getting there,slowly but sure.
judygram Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 Yes please keep us updated on Soldier, you have peaked our interest in him and we want to know how it is going for him. I believe he will one day join the rest of them, he certainly seems interested in their activity in their birdroom and you are right, it is his decision to make and not yours. Thats great that he is vocalizing more since you got him, he has come a long way in a short time.
KatB Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 Dolly Parton! How funny! :laugh: Especially since she's from my home state - Tennessee -- and I pass by her theme park whenever I travel home. And here's a UK AG whistling along to her music. Such a small small world!
lovemyGreys Posted January 22, 2008 Author Posted January 22, 2008 KatB that's really intresting i love Dolly islands in the stream with Kenny Rogers {Love-00020111}
KatB Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 Yes, growing up in Tennessee made me identify with a few legends -- Elvis, Dolly Parton, Johnny Cash, Loretta Lynn... Are we off topic yet? :lol:
KatB Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 Ah-hmmm. Wow, Tracy, I'm so happy to hear Soldier is on his way to being able to enjoy the good life he deserves. What will you do if he and Coco decide to start a family? Are you prepared for that?
lovemyGreys Posted January 22, 2008 Author Posted January 22, 2008 Kat i have never heard of greys being kept indoors breeding,they need an aviary with the correct conditions etc.. but hey there;s always a first WEll soldier likes to be near the others even tho he hasnt taken the plunge & joined them in the birdroom.Eachday i leave the door open for a while,today Coco & Alfie decided they would come visit him,Soldier scared Alfie away but he let Coco perch with him. Coco is the lighter grey in the picture,Alfie is on the right & Soldier behind him. <br><br>Post edited by: lovemyGreys, at: 2008/01/22 14:48
