neruda074 Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 No, not the city. But our new African Grey. Say Hello to Vegas. She is a 4 month old African Grey that my wife and I couldn't leave the bird store without. We've had her about 2 weeks now and she has adapted well to our Sun Conure and 3 dogs. She's starting to whistle along all day and is very good about doing the "step up" command. We look forward to being long time members of this community.
danmcq Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Welcome neruda074 and Vegas!! It's GreYt having you here. :-) Vegas is one fine looking Grey and it sounds like you are all already on the path of becoming one big happy flock. Thanks for posting the photo and looking forward to hearing more from you.
judygram Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Hello Neruda074 and welcome to the family, so glad you have decided to join us and we look forward to hearing more about you and Vegas. She is a very stunning looking grey from the picture you so kindly included in your first post, you must be very proud of her. I also have a sun conure, Sunny but my grey and her do not get along, they have separate cages but are in the same room, Josey is famous for telling Sunny to shut up when she screams. You will find lots of useful information in our many threads so do read thru them at your leisure and do not hesitate to ask questions you may have and we will help you in any way we can.
neruda074 Posted March 30, 2009 Author Posted March 30, 2009 Thanks guys for the encouraging words. I really hope she becomes a talker. I can tell that she's trying to mimic my whistles to her so that's a good sign. We got her from the bird store with her wings already clipped, but I don't think we'll clip them again. I want her to be as confident as any body. Our sun conure is very afraid of everything and I don't want that to rub off on Vegas. Here are a couple of more photos for your viewing pleasure.
judygram Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 She is very pretty, I love the dark eyes before they turn lighter. We have an other birds room where you can share a pic of your sun conure if you like, I would be interested in seeing it.
Luvparrots Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Hi neruda074, Wow Vegas a gorgeous CAG. Thank you for sharing her with us!!
CarolandFamily Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Welcome neruda074 what a pretty baby, you are going to have a blast here
Lyric Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Hello Neruda074- Your Vegas is so pretty! No wonder you couldn't leave that store without her. Hope you are enjoying your first weeks together.
neruda074 Posted March 31, 2009 Author Posted March 31, 2009 Thank you everyone for all the kind words. I never thought I can love a bird this much. She is turning into the love of my life very quickly. I think my wife is actually getting jealous. Vegas has no fear of anything. She loves to try new toys and different places in the house. She's even very welcoming of new people. She's becoming a very big important part of our family.
