Hi All,
I just joined the forum today, in large part due to my new addition of a 22yo African Grey male, close banded in 1990.
I got this bird off of craigslist a few weeks ago. His owner had been incarcerated and the bird was left with a family member. The owner is now out of jail but no longer wanted the bird. The bird was in it's cage only for 1-2 years I was told. His cage for the majority of his life is a very old 6' tall round cage that has an ancient stamp that says "Mexico" on it.
I've many birds but this is my first grey and I'm absolutely smitten.
I have a stack of books here next to my bed to read but thought joining a forum would be helpful as well.
I'm mostly trying at this point to de-code some of his behaviours, postures, movements, and vocalizations mean so that I can understand what's going on here.
I'm not having any "trouble" with him at all.
Thanks!
