parrotlady Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Hi, my name is Lesley and I'm from Hampshire in the UK. I know there is at least one person on here who knows me:whistle: and I look forward to getting to know everyone. I share my life with ten pet African Grey's TJ Ray Kito Rocky Charlie Dill George Kia Joey Marti I also have 5 pair of breeding Grey's Bonnie & Clyde Itsey & Bitsey Hansel & Gretel Fred & Wilma Lilo & Stitch We also have a Blue & Gold Macaw called Harley and five Black Headed Caiques called Tio Pepe, Lulu, Nelson, Leo and Coco. My brother is currently taking care of Leo and Coco for me as they kept fighting with the others. My other pets are a German Shepherd dog Called Shadow, a pair of Chameleons called sugar and spice, a pyranha called Jaws and a tank full of tropical fish. As you can probably tell I love animals of all kinds and run a small parrot rescue service in the South of England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Hello Lesley and welcome to the family, so glad you decided to join us and we look forward to hearing more about these ten pet greys. WOW, you have a lot of greys and especially as pets and that doesn't even include your five pair of breeder greys, I must say you love your greys. All these birds and the other animals must keep you very busy but I bet you love every minute of it, I can imagine the mess that 10 greys would make as I only have one and a sun conure. If you think you don't already know everything there is to know about the grey you can read thru the many threads here for lots of useful information. Please feel free to ask any questions if you should have any and we will do our best to get you some answers and help you in any way we can. If you have some pictures of all these greys you would like to share with us we would love to see them. BTW, I wonder who the member is that you already know, it wouldn't be Tracy would it:whistle: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Lesley for sharing some pics of some of your greys, they are all gorgeous. :) B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siobha9 Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Welcome to the forum Lesley. I have a caique as well, but I havent been brave enough to let him meet the greys... I figured they would eat him for dinner! Seeing your pictures of them together maybe I will very carefully introduce them and see what happens :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parrotlady Posted April 20, 2008 Author Share Posted April 20, 2008 Be careful when you introduce them. It's not the Caique you have to worry about it will be the Grey's. Caique's maybe small in size but I think nobody has told them and they have the courage of a lion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyric Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Hi Lesley- Your birds look like they really have a great life and lots of fun. Welcome to the forum, we look forward to hearing your adventures of sharing your life with so many birds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovelylew Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Hi Lesley, welcome to the forum. WOW! I can't believe you have 10 Greys plus all the other animals you have. What a special person to house all of these pets. Do all of the Greys live together? Again, all I can say is WOW! LOL I have two cockatiels, a keeshound, and just got my first Grey (three weeks ago). I'm sure you have a ton of knowledge to share. Again, welcome to the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parrotlady Posted April 24, 2008 Author Share Posted April 24, 2008 Thank you all very much for the lovely welcome. My pet Grey's do all live together. It has taken time to get them to this stage but now thankfully we don't have any issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Leslie that is simply amazing that they all do live together peacefully, you and Tracy must be cut from the same cloth. How do you handle the one on one time with them, I can just all ten of them climbing all over you at the same time, what a picture!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
