African Grey - Medium - Adult - Female - Bird - WINDSOR
Description
WINDSOR IS BEING SPONSORED BY DON AND JEN GILBERT TO LEARN HOW TO ADOPT A BIRD FROM FRESH START SEE LINK "HOW TO ADOPT A BIRD"ON OUR WEB SITE. MOST QUESTIONS CAN BE ANSWERED BY SIMPLY READING OVER THE INFORMATION ON OUR WEB SITE. IF YOU NEED TO CONTACT FRESH START, EMAIL IS PREFERED..........freshstart4pets@rcn.com UPDATE, 1/5/08...WINDSOR IS THE "FEMALE" OF THE PAIR, AND WAS MORE RELUCTANT TO COME OUT OF THE NEST BOX THAT WE REMOVED TODAY. SHE CALMED DOWN RIGHT AWAY SINCE SHE NO LONGER HAS A "NEST" TO PROTECT, AND SHE SNUGGLED RIGHT UP TO CAPTAIN AFTER THIS NEW PICTURE WAS TAKEN AND STARTED PLAYING WITH A TOY. SHE WAS VERY INTRIGUED BY ALL OF THE ATTENTION WE GAVE HER ONCE SHE WAS OUT AND ABOUT AND CEASED TO GROWL AFTER A SHORT WHILE. THESE 2 ARE INSEPERABLE, BUT IT'S LOOKING LIKE THEY WILL ACTUALLY ENJOY HUMAN CONTACT AND INTERACTION FAR MORE THAN WE ORIGINALLY THOUGHT THEY WOULD. CAPTAIN AND HIS MATE, WINDSOR, ARE 2 CONGO AFRICAN GREYS THAT HAVE LIVED QUIETLY IN AN ENCLOSURE TOGETHER FOR ABOUT 18 YEARS. AS FAR AS WE KNOW, THEY ARE NOT TAME AT ALL, BUT ARE BEING VERY PROTECTIVE OF THE NEST BOX THEY HAD BEEN GIVEN. THESE 2 MUST BE ADOPTED TOGETHER BY SOMEONE WITH THE TIME, PATIENCE AND UNDERSTANDING TO DEAL WITH A TRULY WILD PAIR. BOTH ARE PLUCKED TO SOME EXTENT AND CAME IN NEEDING A BATH. UNTIL THEY SETTLE IN MORE, WE WILL HAVE LITTLE INFORMATION OF THEIR PERSONALITIES, BUT IF YOU THINK YOU COULD HANDLE SHARING YOUR LIFE WITH A PAIR OF WILD PARROTS, PLEASE FILL OUT THE APPLICATION ON OUR WEBSITE. WE WILL NOT ADOPT FOR BREEDING PURPOSES AND FRESH START DOES NOT SHIP BIRDS.
