Can I own a Grey?

[jackpipe]

Hmm.... somehow I missed Deanna's post and the one above was submitted before I even read Deanna's. Deanna, I felt exactly how you described it and decided not to get one yet. As much as I would like to have one, I don't want to hurt the bird.

 

Once again thank you all and for now I'll start thinking about my future parrot's name

Jim I am glad that now you know that this is not to be taken lightly, owning a grey is a lifetime committment and you have to be prepared to deal with the obligations of that committment, just like if you had children, you do what you have to do to insure their health and safety.

 

I think that one day you may make a fine parront to a grey but make sure you are ready for the responsibility and I wish you good luck, and keep in touch.

Jim - take it from someone who ended up waiting about 4 YEARS from the start of "wanting a parrot" to actually taking one into our family...it is well worth the wait to be sure you have the information and the lifestyle that is conducive to building the relationship these wonderful birds require.

 

Read the good stuff and the "pain in the butt" stuff, because you'll get plenty of both! :-) It's best to know what you're getting into so you can prevent having to find a new home for the bird.

 

I'm glad you've decided to wait. It's a hard thing to do when you're excited about it but it is the best thing for both you and your future companion.
