Hello. I am new to this forum. I have a 4-year old African Grey named Manzi. He is a free flighted Grey and we have a good time. I recently heard good things about this forum and thought I would check it out.

How do I change the word "parakeet" to "African Grey?"

Right underneath my user name is the type of bird I own, but it is incorrect. Any ideas? I looked at my profile and couldn't find how to change it.

Hey, that isn't something you can change. It's called a user rank.

You can find out about user ranks at this link: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=20

Hello! Glad to hear you and Manzi enjoy free flight together! Do you do only indoor free flight or have you tried outdoor free flight as well?

Manzi does outdoor free flight. Here is his latest video:

Right now I have been focusing on trick training and getting Manzi to like his new T-stand. I also have a blog for Manzi: http://Manziworld.blogspot.com

I tried to post an avatar. It says that it must be less than 6kb. I don't know how that is possible. I also tried to link it from photobucket and that didn't work either. Any ideas?
