MeginAL Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Hi all, I have a deposit on a recently weaned Congo gray parrot from our local (and only) pet bird store. Debra, the owner, also has a website at www.natureschest.com. At this point, I'm just visiting Poco every other day to get him/her used to me. I'm also working to Parrot-proof my house. I hope to pick her up by the end of March. Debra is getting Poco used to his/her new cage and working with me to adjust my relexes since Poco will be my first large parrot. I owned Budgies in the past. Why did I pick a gray? I've read several books about parrots. I've also observed parrots in homes and aviaries. I think that a gray will be the best companion for me. They are beautiful and smart. I'm home most of the time, so I can give Poco the attention and company he needs. I'll continue using the advice here and elsewhere to get ready for Poco. Nice to meet y'all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
