Greetings!

Hello to all of you! Just joined and wanted to say helloooo.

Me and my wife 2 weeks ago bought ourselves our first African Grey (My wife has experience with birds, me? none, but i've been doing endless research hehe)

His (Not DNA tested, so unless he lays an egg in a few years, we'll say "He" hehe) name is Loki and he's still at the breeders, he was born on June 10th. We picked the name after the Norse god of mischief (pre-planning the chaos hehe), who was able to change sex to cause mischief, so it works if he ends up being a she hehe.

We just bought a new cage from the breeders, which I'll attach a picture of, as well as we've started buying toys and stuff for his home-coming in September. Me and the wife never really wanted kids, so we did the next best thing, so we've been warned hehe.

Hmm, can't think much of anything else to say at the moment, so I'll shower you all with pictures of Loki and his new cage! :)

I've bought the same cage for my CAG!

I'll be bringing her home when she's fully weaned (in the UK it's illegal to sell unweaned chicks) in about the middle of September. Mojo hatched on May 29th

I'm a first time bird owner too

Actually, I think the cage I've bought is a bigger version of yours, still a great cage though! I've clicked on your pics of Loki and he is soooo baby cute!

Thank you! I'm amazed at how grown up she looks now with all her feathers!

Apparently she can now climb the cage bars (she has the tips of most of her toes missing courtesy of Dad so we weren't sure if she'd be able to climb easily) and is doing so with no problem at all!

Going to see her on Wednesday so expect lots more photos and video clips!
