Brittany Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 I am getting my first african grey this friday. I will not be able to take him home for 30 days (Doing a finance to pay him off in 30 days) But i am so excited! He is 2 1/2 months old right now. **EDIT I went back, he was sold. we found a diff one 2 months old. cost more bc its a congo, not a timneh but soo excited. we'll probably take him home in 3 - 4 months.<br><br>Post edited by: Brittany, at: 2008/10/23 18:15
judygram Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 Congrats Brittany on joining the ranks of grey ownership and I understand about the finances right now but you will get him home soon. In the meantime why don't you introduce yourself in the welcome room and tell us a little more about you.
LindaMary Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 Welcome, Brittany! I can identify with the excitement! I had to pay for my birdie over 5 weeks, too - it's great that some breeders/people will let you do that. Will you be visiting your baby while you're waiting? That worked out really well for us - we went in several times a week to see Maxi, and by the time we actually brought her home, she was totally convinced Mary and I were her new mama and sister. B)
Brittany Posted October 2, 2008 Author Posted October 2, 2008 Hi to both of you!! Yes we will be visiting him(ill just call the bird him) as much as possible. I've been visiting with this particular bird for over a month now probably every other week & I love him! Hes really social. I didnt wanna leave him yesterday when I went to visit.
judygram Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 I know how you feel as I visited with mine during the weaning process and you just do not want to leave them but he will be with you soon so just hang in there. This visiting will help socialize him also and he is also learning to recognize you and your voice.
Brittany Posted October 2, 2008 Author Posted October 2, 2008 yeah its definitely worth it. the people seem pretty excited that im going back to get him. apparently a lot of people have been looking at him lately bc hes a sweetheart
Brittany Posted October 3, 2008 Author Posted October 3, 2008 hshah my boyfriend played a trick on me. "I dont have the money to put it down!!!!!" had me all upset for like 10 mins then hes like KIDDING. We're def getting it. Sooo excited!
Brittany Posted October 4, 2008 Author Posted October 4, 2008 they SOLD my bird a couple hours ago I am so pissed off. and upset who knows when i gonna get one:angry:
Poppy Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 I really sorry that happened Brittany Do you know why he did it ? Think that was so wrong ! Hope you find another one soon
Brittany Posted October 4, 2008 Author Posted October 4, 2008 someone else bought it i am so devastated
Lyric Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 I'm so sorry to hear that. I know you are disappointed, but another bird will come along and steal your heart. I'm assuming you were getting him from a pet store? If you're dealing with a breeder and you make a deposit on the bird they shouldn't sell it to someone else- try finding a good breeder where you live. Hang in there... somewhere a birdie is waiting for you to be his momma...
Brittany Posted October 4, 2008 Author Posted October 4, 2008 yeah from a pet store....... wowwwww i hate this
Luvparrots Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 Sorry Brittany, maybe you can find a grey you can adopt? Just keeping looking, don't give up. The right parrot for you is out there. Have faith. Good luck. :dry:
Brittany Posted October 4, 2008 Author Posted October 4, 2008 {Feel-bad-0002006A} MEH. I Called the only pet stores around here who hold 'em. they have a congo baby for 988 but you cant take it home for 2-3 months. the other pet store isnt getting any more baby greys this year. oooooooomg
Ina Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 So sorry to hear that your baby got sold to someone else. Dont give up, sooner or later you will receive another baby
Brittany Posted October 4, 2008 Author Posted October 4, 2008 IDK how is it my luck it gets sold a few hours earlier? jees
judygram Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 Brittany, I am so sorry about the baby grey that was supposed to have been yours, but you will find another, you may have to wait longer but it will be worth it. You never know this may be a blessing in disquise, sometimes when one door closes another one opens, keep an open mind and do look for breeders instead of pet stores.
Brittany Posted October 4, 2008 Author Posted October 4, 2008 OMG. i love life. we found a diff one 2 months old. cost more bc its a congo, not a timneh but soo excited. we'll probably take him home in 3 - 4 months. ill have pics in a min:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

siobha9 Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 He really is a beauty! Why will you have to wait another 3-4 months? A CAG is usually weaned about 16-18 weeks old;)<br><br>Post edited by: siobha9, at: 2008/10/04 09:52
Brittany Posted October 4, 2008 Author Posted October 4, 2008 idk they said he wont be for 3 - 4months weird. im gonna try to take him before that. i cant wait that long lol
Brittany Posted October 4, 2008 Author Posted October 4, 2008 well, regardless we still need a couple months to pay from him. hes around $1,100 plus gotta get a cage, food and toys we wanna have everything for him:)
she Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 Hope this one turns out better for you. Cant understand the long wait but ask why and let us know. Sheila
Brittany Posted October 4, 2008 Author Posted October 4, 2008 i really dont think i can go 4 months without taking it home, honestly. im trying for 2 months at the most im gonna make sure our home and everythings ready for him.
