..I REALLY don't think it's ME that needs to have some common sense, seriously if you were standing next to me having this conversation you would not dare to speak to me like that in person! P.S his diet was CRAP, and if you noticed my HANDLE I AM a Holistic Nanny, how about you check out my site you can even READ my resume there..... when your done, you can gratiously take your foot out of your mouth.
I dont care who you are "handle or not", I care about the birds! What I post, I would say to your face, I tell it as I see it, I dont blow sunshine for anyone. I read your post as I got a bird and now it wont do for me what i saw it do with previous person. People get birds on a whim, they want them to preform and talk without letting them settle and come around on the birds terms instead of the "I want it now and when I say so" reason why we wont rehome any more birds with people. Sorry YOU took what I had to say so personally attacked. That was not my intent, books can be purchased and read but hands on and experience is the rule with me. I do hope you had him vetted by a Certified Avian Vet and tests run, especially with such a horrible previous home and not knowing his background. I wish you the best, Grey's are exceptional birds and extremly intelligent. Most animals get passed around and their background truth never comes with. Every bird we have ever had/have the truth has 3 sides and we only can go with what we observe and have experienced. Last edited by ljhassell; 08-05-2009 at 09:29 AM.

On topic, parrots in general and greys in particular don't like to be smothered and handled the whole time. Adjust to the birds pace and take it from there.

once you act negatively on your anger, you give away your energy and power.
^ I like that saying. ljhassel, i know you care about the birds first, which is great, and you have good points there, but sometimes it's more effective to say things in a nicer way, then the person asking the question won't automatically become defensive and disregard your points entirely. HolisticNannyIt's great to see that you love to help animals and want to help this CAG *and that it was never a spur of the moment decision. I hope he warms up to you. wow wild caught that's crazy. He must have really trusted the previous owner to lay on his back for her. It is always a shock for them to have to up and resettle in a new home, not knowing how long they will be kept for. In time I think he will come to trust you, especially if you are always calm and talk to him in a nice voice. Sometimes I wonder about my CAG, the male, he is just so aggressive and bitey to everyone. He gets along with the female, she is a bit more tame. I love my Greys, and when I look at them they have a smart glimmer in their eyes, and I don't seem to baby talk them as much as the other birds. They seem much more intelligent so I usually talk in whole sentences.  Good luck, I hope he warms up to you in time.

Look life is 2 things, too short and so full of idiots I do not have time for BS. You cant take the truth then dont post on intertnet. I call it as I see it, I was raised this way, I dont powder coat a thing, and I dont like people that need sunshine blown their way. Go pay for 40 birds, rehab on your dime, and rehome for free or a penny on the dollar, get lied to and scammed, then come tell me how Im such a lowlife I and my husband are..... Oh I guess no takers!!!! Big surprise, well not really. I have seen it all and have dealt with the most unpredictable and given it our all. I am proud of what we have done and what we have, I wouldnt trade my life for anyone eles!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So get high and mighty, I answer to one and it's not you!

I don't think anyone thinks you are a lowlife, I was merely posting that you should have a little more online etiquette to the original poster. I PM'd you in return, so hopefully you will keep this in PM's as I don't think anyone needs to see a slew of off topic negativity in a thread.

I wish you the best and I hope you receive all that you deserve in life. Sometimes we neglect ourselves in favor of our life's calling. Remember to take some time for yourself and enjoy some much needed rest. Good luck to you and especially to your husband.
