karunk Posted April 20, 2009 Author Share Posted April 20, 2009 The conservatory build should start in the next 10 days.. and should be done in a months time.. I should be paying the first visit to my bird in the next week or so.. I hope one of the two chooses me.. Really excited about it.. have waited a long time for the day.. once i get the conservatory in place, i must start setting up a good environment for my bird at home.. have planned a few play things for the bird already.. will keep u all posted..

Luvparrots Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 What a cool name for a sweet grey. Chikki looks great and will soon be full of feathers. Thanks for sharing him with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karunk Posted May 9, 2009 Author Share Posted May 9, 2009 all.. thanks for your comments.. we initially thought of Samba as the name.. but then decided on Chikki as the breeder felt it would be easier for the parrot to pronounce as well.. should be starting to see him in the next couple of hours.. though its my second time, i feel very excited about it.. cant wait to bring him home.. mid june seems to be very very far off..

Joolesgreyuk Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 karunk, I just picked-up on your hairdryer question. A hairdryer is fine but hairspray is a definate nono so please tell your wife not to use in in the same room as your parrot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myafricanqueen Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 HI and welcome! I think you did the right thing joining this forum. I think you should read this book if you havent already: "For the Love of Greys, By Bobbi Brinker It has SO much info regarding these birds, from general care, to diet and recipes, to emotional needs, How to choose a breeder, when your baby grey comes home....etc. I loved the book and think anyone who has, or is thinking of having a grey should buy it and read it. I refer to mine all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
