I have a cute little budgie named Magnus.

This summer he landed on my mother's head when she was outside, and so I took him under my wing so to speak. He's with my at college in my apartment right now. Funnily enough, I never even thought of having a bird before him. Now, I'm a hardcore bird lover. I have done tons of research about birds (it's literally a hobby of mine now) and one of my life goals was to one day own an African Grey.
Well, just a week ago I found that a distant relative owned one and I literally cried I was so happy that my grandmother was willing to take me over to meet her. (since I don't have a relationship with the people, but my grandma does.) I came over to visit, and then they offered her to me immediately. Of course, I couldn't say no. Especially since I learned that no one ever socializes with her, so much that she doesn't even talk anymore. Unfortunately, I can't take her until I move into my house I'm getting next August. I'm hoping I can visit her this summer, but she's 7 hours away from my apartment at college. Before I've stuck with budgie forums, but I've decided that I need to come here since I have tons of questions already about her!
Edit: forgot to mention, her name is Penny or Pennybird
