Greys are the best! Do you know there are two types? Congo and Timneh? The Congos are a little bigger.



I had a Congo that died from egg-binding, and it’s all my wife’s fault. One day, I will tell the story here.



Look for a YOUNG bird, or one that readily steps onto your hand. DON’T buy a bird that seems very scared of you. It is not your responsibility to “save” a problem bird, and don’t be tempted by a low cost. You don’t need or want the aggravation! Look for a friendly bird who LIKES you, even if it ISN’T a Gray!



Parrots aren’t like cats and dogs. They’re not going to suddenly change their opinion of you after a day.



Below is a photo of my Yellow Nape Amazon, 15 months, after eating sweet potato.
I did the rescue bird thing- it's a pain in the rear end, but a worthy cause. 8 months in, she still isnt fond of me [emoji2356] but she LOVES my husband.

Sunshine Mama-- you never know---MY cockatoo (also a re-home) LOVED my (now-ex) boyfriend at first and then he (ex) actually got a bit irritated when she stopped treating him like he was God's gift to man lol (funny because he didn't like her nearly as much as me and because he never wanted her to like him at all LOL!!) ! Either way, being tolerated is a lot better than being hated! With patience and love, things can shift though! And no...lol-- we didn't break up because the bird stopped liking him as much!
