i took my 2 year old cousin to the bird barn yesterday and they birdsit for people and they had a 25 year old african grey there, it asked me if i was going to take him home to mummy yet, i thought i was going to die from cuteness!
She settled in nicely last night... 'Till her nail(which had aparently been cut too short at the shop) started bleeding and wouldn't stop. So day one I had to take her to the emergency vet who could only get it to stop by cauterizing it. But she was unfazed by it and happy to share an apple with me for breakfast this morning.
thats good shes fine now i was surprised at how small african greys actually are. i have seen them in person before but not really spent enough time in person with one to get a feel of them. and i found them to be so tiny! i always imagined them to be bigger...
