Marauder Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Howdy, it says "please introduce yourself", so here we go. :-) My name is Chris, I've had a cockatiel (Mozart) for the past five years and about four months ago adopted a wonderful six year old Grey whom I have renamed Schrodinger.
Luvparrots Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Hello Chris, welcome to the family. Kudos to you for re-homing a grey. Please tell us more about Schrodinger. From your avatar I can tell he is a very handsome grey. We would love to see more of Schrodinger if you have any other pictures you would like to share.
Marauder Posted January 28, 2009 Author Posted January 28, 2009 Here are some more pictures of her... http://gallery.uid-0.org/main.php?g2_itemId=1645
Luvparrots Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Great pictures of your handsome Congo. Looks like Schrodinger and you are very bonded. Thanks for sharing him with us.
judygram Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Hello Chris and welcome to the family, so glad you could join us and we look forward to hearing more about you and Schrodinger. That is a cute name, would you tell us how you came to pick that name and what it means if anything? I commend you for adopting an older grey, most people want to start off with a baby grey but it looks like you have formed a wonderful relationship with her from the pics you shared with us. You will find lots of useful information in our many threads and do ask questions you may have and we will help you in any way we can.
birdgirl Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Hello and welcome to both of you. I'm new too but thought I would still extend you a warm hello.
Marauder Posted January 28, 2009 Author Posted January 28, 2009 It is amazing how quickly Schrodinger and I bonded, quite literally within hours of coming home we were starting to bond... With me she's a doll, with pretty much everyone else it's a different story... lol My brother and a friend of mine have both gotten some pretty nice bruises and other beak marks... :ohmy: She originally came with the name Sirius (or Sirus, there was some debate about the actual spelling/proninciation) from the adoption agency (Phoenix Landing). I knew I wanted a different name and eventually settled on Schrodinger (A Nobel Prize winning physicist and most popularly known for "Schrodinger's Cat".). In part I chose the name Schrodinger (she's become known as "Schrodie" for short) because it was closer sounding to her original name then Tchaikovsky! Plus, I felt it was an amusing choice of a name given the traditional bird/cat relationship (see Schrodinger's Cat). :lol: I've also been contemplating adopting a second cockatiel (whom would be named Tchaikovsky) in part as a companion to Mozart who is jealous as she no longer gets all the attention... But, my flock can't really grow too much more since I have limited space in my apartment... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erwin_Schr%C3%B6dinger http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schr%C3%B6dinger%27s_cat<br><br>Post edited by: Marauder, at: 2009/01/28 02:45
judygram Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 I see you live in Maryland, I knew you had to be somewhere near North Carolina when you mentioned Phoenix Landing, I am in Virginia and I am familiar with that rescue group, they do great work. Schrodinger may eventually come to be more socialable with other people, my Josey used to only allow me to pick her up and handle her but she is gradually allowing my hubby to do a little of that now so there is hope for Schrodie too. Thanks for the story behind the name, I knew it had to be one for that name.
DavidH Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 That is terrific that you adopted Shrodie and that she is doing so well! Phoenix Landing looks like an awesome organization. I'll put up a link to it on my blog.
she Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Hiya and welcome. I love the photos.It is fantastic you have bonded so well with Shrodie,well done.I look forward to hearing more about her.
danmcq Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Welcome Chris and Schrodinger!! Great adoption choice. It is nice to see she is such a loving Grey that was obviously treated good and well taken care of in the past. The handling you are able to do in those photos is something many Grey owners can not do at that age. It's wonderful seeing her feel loved and content in her new home. Looking forward to hearing more from you. :-)
Lyric Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Hi Chris, welcome to the forum! Hope you enjoy it here.
MazyAK Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 welcome Chris: I'm sure you'll fit right into our family. See you out there. Bruce & Mazy
