Luvparrots Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Hey Alex, welcome aboard. I came across this forum a couple of months ago and have been learning alot about greys. I have never owned a parrot of any kind and have opted for a baby Tag which I will be adopting sometime in late November. Check out all the different rooms here and ask any questions you need answers to and the experienced grey owners will be around to help. Good luck in your quest.

Learn all you can before you make a decision whether or not to get a grey- as they can live so long you will be making a big commitment. Do you have any birds besides your budgie Dave?

Crzy4Greys Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Hi Alex! I'm new here myself. I am currently owned by three congo greys: Rascal, Smeagol and Shadow. I love these guys, but I do agree w/ everyone when they say do your homework and make sure a Grey is for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annie1966 Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 HI Alex Welcome to the forum and hope you enjoy it as much as I do. I am new here myself and still working my way through the forum finding my way around. As everyone has already said and without duplicating it, just make sure you read as much as you can and be 100% certain that you want a grey as they need 24/7 care and if they get used to you being around and then suddenly your routine alters and you find yourself spending lots of time away from the bird there is a possibility it can get stressed. Also remember that they have the brain of a young child (and yes they end up having huge vocabularies) however they are still like little kids and you will find they need lots of attention and your time. Good luck for when you get your grey and I hope you have lots of fun and laughter together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
