I haven't brought my baby home yet so I don't really have any care advice. Just read read read,lol.

As for names for a female Grey I really like Greycee for a male Sterling.

Our little girl's name is Sophie

I like Casey, seems to suit a grye evry well.

AS for care, make sure you have a good diet, introduce fruits at a young age, so he/shes more open to them. Make sure cage is big enough and defintatly get a playstand, we make our own. We get branches (non toxic wood), cut them to size we need and nail them to board hang toys and what nto off them, good for only 15 bucks, plus toys.

You probaly know they are dusty so give them a shower at young age so they get use to it and have more a chance of liking it.

Thats all I can think enjoy your grey!

welcome, and congrats!

I waited to get the Dna back to see if I had male or females so I could name accordingly.

Emma is named after my grandmothers, Emmy and Amelia.
Sydney is named after Syd Barrett
and Stirling came with his name....

Congrats! How exciting!! Im waiting to bring mine home too, although I have a much longer wait (Beginning of August)
Are you going to get a DNA test on him/her? Maybe it would be easier to pick a name if you know if it's a boy or girl :)
