Excited! :)

I joined the board last week because i have a crimson rosella called percy who i adopted off another family about 2 months ago. he is 18 months and become my baby :)
Am excited because ive just bought an african grey who is at the moment 4 weeks old so obviously not ready to come home yet but i went to visit him yesterday and he is soo cute! i can't wait.
Any tips for bringing up an CAG? obviously my first one so still learning! i have a picture of him too.

Aww he's adorable! At least you have some time to learn all you can before he comes home! I know there should be a place on the boards for African Greys where you can find tons of info, or you can always google. They are beautiful birds, congrats!

Wow what a cutie! The only advice I have is that CAGs are thinkers, and I find the best way to entice my guy to do what I want is to offer a choice, and let him decide lol.
