Scarbarian Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 I'm bringing my new CAG home on 23 Jan 09.... I've got the cage, a bunch of toys, a couple of books, and I've been reading everything I can find on the internet about African Greys... I've got a Border Collie named Rocky, a Siamese cat named Rolly, and I'm pretty sure the parrot's name is going to be Charlie... Talk to you soon, Steve (Scarbarian)

bandits_mom08 Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 Welcome and congrats on your new CAG!!! They are so much fun! Keep us posted.
judygram Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 Hello Steve and welcome to the family, so glad you could join us and we look forward to hearing more about you and this new grey you are getting. So Charlie is going to be the name, do you know the sex yet? Charlie works for either sex and we have a few Charlies here already but one more doesn't matter. You have come to the right place to find lots of good advice as we have loads of useful information in our many threads so please read thru them at your leisure and do not hesitate to ask any and all questions you may have and we will help you in any way we can. Are you getting your grey from a local breeder or will it have to be shipped to you? You are all set though, you have the necessary essentials, now all you need is the bird. Do you have any pictures of this new grey? If so would you consider sharing a few with us so we can see him/her.
casper Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 Welcome Steve, Congratulations on your new baby! Is this going to be your first bird? Cant wait to hear more about you both ( hope you decide on the name Charlie as my eldest grey is called this.) Enjoy the forum.

Scarbarian Posted January 30, 2009 Author Posted January 30, 2009 Hi Everybody, Thanks for the words of encouragement!... I'm picking Charlie up at the breeder's tomorrow! I'm finally going to have something (other than toys..) to put in that big cage that takes up so much of my living room... Wish me luck. Steve
Eckobird Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 Good luck Steve! I bet you are so excited! They are so much fun to be around! Whenever you get a chance if you can share some pictures with us that would be awesome!
judygram Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 I wanna see pictures tomorrow Steve and of course I wish you much luck. B)
Scarbarian Posted January 31, 2009 Author Posted January 31, 2009 Hmmm... I added a (lousy) photo of Charlie and me to my album, but linking it to this post turned out to be problematic... Have a look at my profile page for Charlie's first pic! Steve
Scarbarian Posted January 31, 2009 Author Posted January 31, 2009 All I had to do was read... lol Here's the pic:
Scarbarian Posted January 31, 2009 Author Posted January 31, 2009 Ooops... I'll get the hang of this eventually ... LMAO
judygram Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 Charlie is a cutie pie, so adorable, thanks for sharing him with us. What is that tattoo there on your hand Steve?
Scarbarian Posted January 31, 2009 Author Posted January 31, 2009 ... The tattoo is a remnant of my youth, when I was throwing myself out of aircraft as a paratrooper in the Canadian Army... It's alright, I'm ok now. LOL
judygram Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 Oh I am not complaining as I have two tattoos myself and I didn't get them until I was over 45 years old, I can't tell what your's is but mine are a rose and a hummingbird on my leg, I love them.
Scarbarian Posted January 31, 2009 Author Posted January 31, 2009 The tattoo is the Canadian Airborne wings... I don't have a decent pic, but it is based on the wings we wore on our uniform... This is a pic: .
judygram Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 It is sort of reminiscent of your avatar, the wings are in about the same position, looks like it would be a very nice looking tattoo.
dennisandholly Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 welcome steve and Charlie. may you two find many joins together
Luvparrots Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 Steve, how exciting that you get to pick up Charlie tomorrow can't wait to hear how everything goes.
