I am so happy to find you, a happy mistake when trying to find an answer. My husband and I recently adopted a grey from a place that I volunteer at (wildlife rescue and rehab though we also take exotics). I had been in contact with Samson (aka Chili) since his arrival. No owner was found after more than 6 months of searching, so I was able to adopt him. We have bonded, my husband just met him on Saturday. In my panic to curb some behaviors I had not seen (like biting) I ordered a bunch of training materials on line. So as I wait, we are being patient about his biting at my husband. I do have a few questions that I'll post separately. I have had all different kinds of animals in my life, always wanted a grey. I hope I'll be able to find reliable information and share stories.

Thank you Grant! I had seen him every Saturday since his rescue and talked, cooed, pet and cared and cleaned his cage. It wasn't for long periods, like an hour a week, we all tried to do it and he became very social (I still think it's a girl though)and he would sit on my shoulder while I fed all the animals. So cool!

Welcome to the forum. There are very knowledgeable people here who are always willing to help in any way they can. Greys are wonderful and well worth working out any problem that may arise.

Welcome. What rescue/where do you volunteer? Hi! I volunteer at STAR Foundation (www.savetheanaimalsrescue.org) in Middle Island, NY. It's a great place. They have a fb page and website if anyone is interested in learning about the animals we serve. |
