Smile Hi Gang!!!

Hi Everyone, I just want to say hello and introduce my flock and ask a question. I've have 2 Parrotlets and have just recently added a Congo African Grey. My Parrotlets are about as night and day as they come personality wise. Bailey is going to be 2 years old on Halloween and he's a shy little guy, Olivia is 6 years old and is the Pit Bull of Parrotlets. If you're not her chosen one she will gladly pierce you !! We just got Merlin and I'm still trying to figure him out. I don't have big bird experience so I'm trying to read more but do have a basic understanding of them. I don't think he was handled very much so he doesn't want to step up. BUT I know it will all come in good time.
Can you guys suggest a place I can go to get a good understanding of body language??? I have a couple of books but I can't seem to find what I'm looking for.
Thanks so much for your help!!! I look forward to learning and growing here!
Sally

Welcome to our little corner of the internet. May I suggest anything by Bobbi Brinker. And, we have our own in-house expert, none other than Jean Pattison, the African Queen. She's probably the best known grey breeder in the States.

We also have a LOT of grey owners, myself included. Just ask away. We are here to learn and to teach.
