I have been to see this poor bird 3 times so far. She is a
case of a teenager getting a bird doing a great job raising it and then going away to colage and no longer having a place for it in her life. The mother is scared to death of this poor bird, she takes it out of cage with leather gloves. Today when I went over she asked if I wanted the bird. I have always wanted a Gray since I was a teenager myself, I just was waiting for my second child,a 5 year old daughter to get a older. I took the bird out of her cage with my bare hands. She did bite but it was not hard and once she know that I was not scared she stopped. She was scared though. I got her out and she went right under my chin before I could stop her and started bagging food like a baby.It broke my heart. She is heathy but mently upset. I am trying to find some good sites to help me figure out the best ways to work with her. I still do not know if the family will go through with letting her come with me. I hope it will work out with my young girl. We have lots of pets and she knows how to be around scared animals. Any
help you can give would be great.
Thank you,
Michelle
