HI everyone - intro with pics....

[GreyG]

I've recently joined you all -- looking forward to learning alot!! I have had birds my entire life - started with a parakeet, finches and canaries as a boy and worked my way up from there. I've had an Umbrella Cockatoo, Quaker, and a Blue Headed Pionus - all of which are gone now but will never be forgotten. My wife and I currently have three - all of which appear to have come from rotten eggs:

Cleo - 18yr old Meyer's Parrot who has ruled the roost since 1995.

Bailey - 9yr old Coral Billed Pionus who taught us there is no such thing as a free lunch (he is a rehomed rescue - came to us at age of 6 months in 2004).

Zoey - 6 month old African Grey (Congo). This is MY baby!!

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! Antoinette, my Grey is only 6 months old. She was the lightest colored and smallest of her clutch, and is still on the small side at 325g. I've always wanted a Grey, but things just never worked out, until I found this little girl in a local bird store. As of now, she still loves being coddled - demanding upwards of an hour of scritching and snuggling before going to sleep. Hopefully, that won't change too much!

LoL just saw her name now ...Zoey is too beautiful
She looks exactly like Mishka (my Grey) when he was little.
Must find the pic and post it
Grey are not usually the cuddly loving birds, but some are the exception.
Keep scritching and snuggling you might just be lucky.
My previous Grey, Gigi (female) love to run under our t-shirt and fall asleep on our chest. Unfortunately after having a severe stroke, she went straight to Rainbow Heaven.

Here's what our baby Grey looked like about a week after we found her:

And here is when she officially stile my heart:

OMG I am pinning all over again
I just love them when so tiny and cuddly
I became Mishka's guardian at 6 weeks old, seeing them develop is the most awesome reward ever.
Will post a pic tomorrow

Here is Zoey's double
Still trying to find another one

Mishka is a pretty boy! I'm looking forward to Zoey's eyes lightening up as she grows up!

I love a Grey's eyes when they are large and black
Always looks so innocent
