rationalreasonz Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Hello everyone, My name is Melanie and I recently got my African Grey about two weeks ago. Her name is Kika and I fell in love with her the moment I layed eyes on her. I work at a pet store and she was finally weened and ready to go to her new home with whoever would buy her, she was very mean to everyone at work at night when we would bring the birds out to give them fruits and veggies. She always bit everyone and made a fuss. I decided to try to hold her one night and she came on my hand crawled up onto my shoulder and licked me and said clear as day HELLO!! everyone was shocked because she had never spoken before and definitely never gave kisses. She then climbed onto my head and started making various clicking sounds and everyone knew just as much as I did in that moment she had to come home with me. Two days later I bought her and brought her home and even though it has only been two weeks I am so attached to her and love her so much I could never let her go. Every week when I get paid she is the first thing that pops in my mind (and of course my check doesn't ever really make it out of the store lol) She is very loveable talkative and adorable. I am a newby to grey's and birds overall but I am reading up on her and learning everything there is to know. I look forward to sharing thoughts and such with all of you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

judygram Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Hello Melanie and welcome to the family, we are so glad you could join us and we look forward to hearing more about you and Kika, what an unusual name, does it have some special meaning? Sometimes our birds choose us and not the other way around, she knew you would make her a good mama, she obviously felt a good vibe coming from you and she suckered you in, hook, line and sinker, just kidding:P Take a little time and read thru some of the threads for lots of useful and helpful information and ask questions if you have any. We will do our best to get you some answers and help you in any way we can. If you have any pictures of Kika you would like to share with us we would love to see her.
