Older Greys

[Khaiqha]

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone had a grey for a decade or more. It worries me about the plucking stories I hear. I wanted to know if anyone has had a grey that's been through alot - moving, marriage, kids, etc. I would love to hear your stories.

I have a nearly 11 year old grey.

I adopted him 8 years ago at the age of 15. We have been through 3 moves, a marriage, a child and a separation together. He has never chewed or plucked but he has been moody during some some of the more emotional changes.
The hardest problem I've come across is teaching my now two year old son to keep his hands out of Taco's cage. Taco has drawn blood more than once when my son tries to "play" with him.

For the most part he sees change like I do. It happens and you might as well make the best of it.
