Hi there, nice to have you join us. Think it may have been me and the biting Grey. It can't have been that bad as I seem to still have all my fingers, well at the last count.

Look forward to seeing the pics, and hearing more about you and your guys.

I'm so sorry to hear about your Grey.
​

I moved your post to its own thread as more people will see it then.​

Re: New Members

First off....

WELCOME​

And I think that I might be the crazy biting CAG... ummm I mean I have the crazy biting CAG. Hmmm, well I guess all of us with Greys have the biting problem at one point in time. but I am happy to say that she is doing much better (knock on wood) She is still a little cage aggresive, but I put on the leather glove and she seems knows that glove = coming out time. I have had her sence Dec. 15th, she hasn't let me touch the wings and tail yet. I hope she will by spring she I can harness train her for it but I am sure thats going to be a work in progress.

I have been letting her wonder around of the floor every so often (with a close eye on her because of the cat) But she doesn't really seem to do anything when she is down there, most of the time she will come over and stand on my and just chill out there, or look up at me in a begging mannor to come up. She is becoming quiet the commical parrot.

I love her very much, just wish she could be down stairs all the time
But that would be very unsafe for her
