Calvin Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Hi everyone, I always come to this forum to try to get some answers when I am in doubt, so I thought I might create an account. After much reading and careful consideration, I have decided to buy an ACG baby (not until september though). I have rescued a blue-fronted amazon parrot before, unfurtunately, it was wild caught (that was when I used to live in Brazil). I knew it was wild caught and his owner probably bough it from someone who caught it. I felt sorry for the parrot which lived in a cage in a garage with 5 pinchers (that tiny dog) which barked all day long. I had him for six months before I was able to find someone who had an amazon parrot aswell in a realy big outdoor aviary who was willing to take him. He should never have been caged. I thought it was the best for him and so i gave him away. That is about as much experience i have had with parrots, not very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Hello Calvin and welcome to the family, so glad you decided to join us and we look forward to hearing more about you and your desire to have a grey. You are doing the right thing in researching for all the information you can find and reading lots of books, articles and from websites before you make that purchase. You will find lots of information here in our threads so please read thru them and ask questions if you have any as we will do our best to get you some answers and help you in any way we can. You do have some experience with a larger bird but a grey is somewhat different from an amazon and you will find that out in your reading. I'm sorry you had to give him up but he was better off where he had more space to roam and explore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
