A new addition...

[Gungirl]

For a long time I have wanted an African Grey Parrot but I didn't want to buy a young one. I know how long these birds live and I wanted to rescue an older bird. Well my chance has finally arrived and even though it will be hard due to our house being on the market and living with my MIL we are getting one this weekend. Everyone in the house is ready and wanting it, which is good because I will need the help from them all.
My husbands friend just had a stroke, he is doing well but he can't take care of his bird Boomer any longer. I am meeting Boomer tomorrow and possibly taking him home right then. Boomer is a 18 yr old African Grey. He talks a lot from what I am told but he is very mellow. We are hopeful that adding him to our home will not cause him to much stress. I am most likely going to have to get him a new cage sometime soon but I want to let him get used to us first. His cage is 17yrs old and from what I have been told it has seen better days. I will take some pics when I go meet Boomer tomorrow, I can't wait! I already made some toys for him as well as ordered him a few things. I am hopeful this transition will be smooth. ( fingers are crossed)
