Journeyman Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 My name is Rick. I have a Congo Grey, Cosmo, who's my best friend. (yes, I do have a life too) He's spoiled, and rightly so. I hope to share and receive many happy moments with all of you, as well as pick up a few tips along the way.<br><br>Post edited by: Journeyman, at: 2008/10/27 04:09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Hello Rick and welcome to the family, so glad you could join us and we look forward to hearing more about you and Cosmo. You are kidding me, you have a spoiled grey? Now how in the world did that happen?:whistle: :lol: I know exactly how for all our greys are as spoiled, they own us and not the other way around but then we would not have it any other way. Sometimes I think I don't have a life, I couldn't imagine my life without my Josey, she has become one of my best friends, I also have a sun conure. How long have you had Congo and how old is he? Do you have any other birds? We have a wealth of information in our many threads so read thru them at your leisure and do ask any and all questions you may have and we will help you in any way we can. If you have some other pictures of Cosmo besides the one in your avatar you would share with us we would love to see them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyric Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Hi Rick and Cosmo. I definitely can relate to having a spoiled grey, and I haven't taken a vacation since two years ago when my baby TAG was hatched. So, you see there are lots of people on here who can relate to you, you are now in good company! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Journeyman Posted October 28, 2008 Author Share Posted October 28, 2008 Thanks for the greeting. I have a hard time leaving for any length of time, and will only go away for two days. My sister has to come over and watch Cosmo if I do. My friends don't understand, then again, they don't have a Grey. I've had conures, love birds, cockatiels, parrakeets and one time, a crow. I've had birds since I was about 8 years old. Cosmo is the only birdy friend I have right now. I bought him a couple of puzzle toys recently. He figures them out too fast. One was called "Tiki Take out". You've probably have heard of it. It's a tiki hut that has wooden dowels as bars they have to chew through to get the treat. You put the treat and wooden dowels in through a trap door on the bottom that's secured with a key that you need a coin to open. (it's not a part of the puzzle) Cosmo chewed on the wooden dowels for about 5 minutes, looked underneath and noticed the key and opened it with his beak. The dowels and treat fell out, so ended the the puzzle part of the toy. He did play with the dowels for a while. The thing is, I set the toy up in another room so he didn't see how I put the treat in. Pretty wild! I uploaded a picture into the photo album of his cage, I try to get only the best for him. Talk to you later.<br><br>Post edited by: Journeyman, at: 2008/10/28 03:28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Cosmo sounds like he is too smart for his own good, didn't take him long to find the easy way in. And you are right, only other bird lovers understand how you feel about your flock, our birds are our family, as if they were our children and we take our responsibility seriously.

Luvparrots Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Sounds like you have a very smart grey. How old is Cosmo and how long have you had him? Where did you include the picture of his cage; I must of missed it. I'm certainly glad you and Cosmo have joined us, I cannot wait to hear more of Cosmo's antics.:silly: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Journeyman Posted October 28, 2008 Author Share Posted October 28, 2008 luvparrots, I've had Cosmo a year and a half and he's now just over 2 years old. I put the picture of his cage in the "photo album". It's 72" high, 40" wide and 30" deep. I'm new in this forum, so I don't know how to retrieve it. I guess maybe with a key word? If so, try either "Cosmo" or "Journeyman". I have a cute one, he was in his cage, and was giving me one of his looks, so I captured it. I'm not sure if this image file will attach, but I'll try.

danmcq Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 These Greys a very cleaver, aren't they? :-) Nice big cage for Cosmo to play in. He looks small in it. Thanks for sharing the photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyric Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Sounds like you've had lots of bird experience and are now dealing with a very clever little fellow! Imagine how smart he'll be the older he gets. Does Cosmo talk? I'm glad you joined the forum and can now share your stories with the rest of us!
