Hi Cali! Welcome to the forum! There is a woman that is very nice her name is Janice. Her business is called The Feather Hut. She is on here from time to time, if you would like to talk to her. She has a website which is www.thefeatherhut.com She has a 4 week old baby Timneh right now, that was just dna'd and it is a little boy! We are in the process of getting a Goffin Cockatoo off of her. He will be ready in the end of March beginning of April. If you have any more questions please feel free to write me! As far as Ohio though that is the only one I have run into that I could personally suggest to you. I know there are others but I have not dealt with them. And honestly Janice is very nice and will answer any of your questions and concerns. She sends weekly pictures too!!!!

Thanks Ronda for sharing this information for Cali_oh, I knew you would know where to send this member.

 

Cali_oh, why don't you introduce yourself in the welcome room and tell us a little about you and your quest for a grey.

Another thing you could try is www.birdsnways.com and look under breeders, just hit O for Ohio and there should be some listed there!! Good luck!

The birdsnways website is how I found my breeder(s), and they were both sooo wonderful.

I highly recommend Kris from Canal Winchester Ohio (outside of Columbus). Birdiemovers is the buisness name. She is a great breeder and will teach the new bird the basics before you receive it. Her birds are well socialized and friendly. When we got Sam she was raising 2 CAGs, 1 TAG, and a blue and gold. Look at my avatar portrait, you will see 1 cag, sam and the B&G. She is so dedicated to what she does its not odd to see her out and about with all her babies with her in the car. I got sam a month early so she taught me how to hand feed him and ween him the rest of the way. She usually wouldnt allow it but we became fast friends and the fact that i have other birds helped. Kris will keep in touch with you and send baby pics the whole time the bird is being weened. If you live close to her like me you can visit the baby anytime you wish and visiting is recommended.

 

When sam came home he adjusted very fast and began to talk about a week after he arrived. I heard him trying to repeat me a few times during pre weening visits. He came eating zupreem and mazuri along with formula at night.

Thanks so much, OHSNAP, for the information on a breeder in Ohio, you give a glowing recommendation and it should help that new member with her quest.

LOL. I am getting two babies out-of-nest from Kris in two weeks. She is a great breeder and definitely a friend of mine. Kris and I share pretty much the same philosophies when it comes to raising babies!
