Posted July 12, 200816 yr Hi everyone, i got alittle excited to day while out on the hunt for mates for my boys (pics in My flock) and came home with 4 new ladies. I haven't named them yet but here they are I know that they are not as pretty as some other colours but i have fallen in love with the greys, my husband thinks i am mental but says it with a smile and a small shake of his head.

July 12, 200816 yr they are lovely, I love greys too one of my personal favorites, just adding to ensure you do 30 day quarantine you may know this already but I always tell people just in case they don't a lot of people don't .

Â Thanks for that Elly and yep they are quarantined, i never did this before but i guess if i am going to get serious then i will follow the advice i get from people in the know. They have their own cage but is it okay to have them in the same room as other birds?
July 12, 200816 yr I would keep them in separate room that is much better if you can't then have the side covered that is facing the other birds there are airborne disease as well.

July 12, 200816 yr I LOVE the greys but so now there what like 4 of us that are crazy? Â Yeah seperate rooms if you can, I did a post on my guys (it's called "I Quit") they tells you the dangers of needing to Quarantine and also the fact that you can spread to between your new guys and your old guys as I did that.
July 12, 200816 yr I think greys are beautiful, I have 1 myself called Batman because she hangs upsidedown of the roof!
July 13, 200816 yr Author Oh they are lovely I love the grey and the green!!! Where did you get them???? Thanks for that Liv, i named them all last nite, the albine is Penny, the green is Jordan, the grey with lots of black around her neck is Roxy and the other grey is Amelia ( all are club size which is what i want to breed) i got them from the SA Bird Company 440 Main North Rd Blaire Athol, I nearly came home with another grey cock but i ran out of money, they had alot of the green and olive green and a few others that i would have liked.

Thanks for the tip, i had been there but the guy said that none of the birds he had were any good so he would call me when the next lot came in, but now you have said that I wont go again
July 13, 200816 yr Last time i went there (in April) , there were dead birds in the aviaries and cages, lots of sick and dieing ones too. the water was GREEN AND STINKING in all cages and there was no food left!!!! I was so upset and horrified by what i saw, i complained to the staff who were sitting (and laughing while) having coffee in the back room. Their excuse for the putrid conditions was they were closed the previous day!!! water does not turn green a foul smelling ever night!!!! I am still furious about it!!!!!! It makes me feel sick just thinking about it!
July 14, 200816 yr Author Well i am glad i am not the only one that loves them, i can't wait to pair mine up and see the chicks that they have.ohh and i named them the other day, the fisrt grey in the pics in Roxy the albino Penny, the green is Jorgan and the other grey is Amelia, 28 days and counting till they can meet the boys
