Hello, I'm new to the site. My wife & I are animal lovers, including birds. I grew up with my mother having several parakeets. I fell in love with a African Grey many years ago at a local garden nursery that had a African Grey as a pet. He was wonderful and for what ever reason, he and I got along very well and he would get all excited & dance when he saw me coming. I would bring him a prune every visit. The owner said I was one of a few that he really liked. I visited him often for several years, then the owners moved to another state to retire and of course, took him along. I've missed him ever since. I'm now disabled and spend most my time at home. My neighbor has a Cockatoo and brings him by often. We have two dogs and cats and my boxer lets him ride on his back and our cats pay no attention to him. We are very interested in adding either a Cockatoo or Grey to our family, we just can't decide on which one. I like the look and personality of the Cockatoo's, and the same with the Grey, but with the added intelligence and speaking ability, plus some what,..... quieter. If any of you have advise, helpful information etc., please email us or if you see my threads, please join in !
Thank you,
Kevin & Patty
