Hi Everyone,
I am looking into a new bird to add to my family. I have done some reading on-line about the different birds and have narrowed it down to a Grey or an Eclectus. I went into my local bird shop and the shop owner said she has just the bird for me. A 7 month old Grey came in that is on consignment. The last owner's partner was jealous of the bird I guess... I don't know. This Grey is very sweet and hand tamed. I held her and spent a little time with her. She let me pet her too.
I am drawn to Eclectus too.
I am curious about what you all think. Of course I am little worried about taking home a Grey that has been abandoned. But something also draws me to this.
I should say my bird experience is some what limited. I have two lovebirds that I adopted last year. It has been tough since they were not happy about their owner giving them up. We are now getting along better.
I am interested in an intelligent bird that flocks with the whole family. I want the bird to be affectionate and interested in being around us. I have heard that Grey's tend to be one person birds.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Kate
