I thought I'd post a little more about her since I already have my hopes WAY up. her name is Chloe she can say "Hi Chloe" "Chloe, Chloe, Chloe" "Hello" and "Milo"(the womans dog) she doesn't really like men but Loves women and likes teens haha I thinks thats a little funny. any way she just sounds so perfect (now watch as I don't get her)

WELL THATS NOT RIGHT. DID YOU ASK HER WHY? I WOULD OF. AND FURTHER MORE I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY SHE DID IT KNOWING YOU WERE VERY INTRESTED? THAT DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT? WOW SOME PEOPLE HAVE NO CARE ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE'S FEELINGS? WELL IF THIS IS ANY HELP I HOPE YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL EASTER AND HOPE EASTER BUNNY BRINGS LOTS AND LOTS OF CANDY!:D

Courtney,

Sorry about your disappointment. It's not easy. Why don't you check to see if you have any bird rescues or bird clubs in your area. They may have some very nice parrots (or even Greys) up for adoption. This is how I got my 3 yrs. old Pionus Parrot, Marcel. He came from a rescue and he is just wonderful, well adjusted, perfectly healthy. We are so happy with him and it warmed our hearts to have given him a good home.

Just a suggestion......

Roseanne;)

P.s. Happy Easter

I've tryed that and even found a really good one where there was no adoption fee but they wanted in home visits and I have a dog that hates poeple and bites and most rescues wont adopt out to teens under 18.

I mean happy easter to y'all too... I didn't realize there were two pages, so I saw the one at the bottom of the first page, which said "happy easter to everyone", so I said "you too", but I didn't realize that it would appear on another page...

Hi Birdgirl,

I haven't been around here long but I do know that you want a Grey really bad. I hope this works out for you and you get your Grey. I know that if you do that it will be one lucky Grey having you as a friend. Good luck.

If she was going to sell it to someone else she should have given you a deadline to make a descision by. I hope you get a grey soon.

shes not the first person to do that to me I guess I've just gottin use to it now. I don't think the lady was trying to be mean at all and I'm happy the bird found a home. my grey is coming soon I can feel it ;)

That was probably just a sign that that grey wasn't supposed to be for you. Yours will proably be the best grey i9n the world.
