Healthy (?) Treat

WEll, then, that's a wonderful story! You have now met a new species and will consider adding one to your home. However, it will simply be a different bird. I promise you that once you make up your mind to add a bird, one will find you. In fact, I'm fairly certain that there's a billboard with directions to my house! It says something like "Bring us your tired, plucked, hungry birds and my phone number". Maybe not, but is sure seems like it.

One in the livingroom (both greys are there) and another just off of my birdroom.

I vacuum a LOT. In fact, at least 2 times a day. Not because of the greys, but because my macaws are messy and make dust from shredding paper. I do shower my birds frequently, something that only makes them healthier I might add.

If you really love this bird and it finds you interesting, then by all means go get him. If you are only feeling sorry for it, then please pass. Its more important to place a bird in a permanent home than to rescue it from a petstore. I no longer allow myself the luxury of even going into any petstore. Its too painful to see the "detainees".

Greys are complicated creatures, so be prepared for an adventure!
