Meet Trafford, AGPC’s New Rehome!

October 17th, 2010
Meet Trafford, AGPC's New Rehome!

Well today we collected our newest re home!

We went to see a lovely lady and her hubby to meet them and tell them about what we do with our rescue, they contacted us a few weeks back asking for some advice on re-homing they have a Grey called Trafford (yes after Man united!) She has owned him since a hand reared baby which she brought him from Pet Smart! He is now 12 and will be 13 years old next month!
She has loved him dearly but now things have changed and she works away 3-4 nights a week and he is spending more and more time in his cage which she feels guilty about but she didn’t want to sell him as she couldn’t know what sort of home he would end up in or if he would go from home to home, so after a long chat with her she wanted us to take Trafford there and then! Which was a bit of a surprise!!

So Trafford is now here he has settled in OK spent the first day hanging on the side of the cage and most of yesterday shouting ”Jamie….Jamie” at me and ”what’s up Traff!!!” and when i opened a can of red bull he did a massive Burp!!!

He has tucked into some mixed veggies and fruit and tried palm oil on toast yesterday and he chucked it on the floor and just sat there pinging the bars! but this morning he tucked right into it and enjoyed it as he did his veggies and fruit mix.

Here are a few photos of Trafford.


Lady – She’s A Cheeky One!

Lady - She's A Cheeky One!

Lady has been with us since June, and has settled in brilliantly. Over the past few months we have had the pleasure of getting to know her personality, and boy is she cheeky!!!

Lady likes to help me sort through the washing pile, so I’ll place the odd socks on my lap until I find the matching ones, and she will sit on my knee and chuck the odd socks on the floor!

She loves to play Tug O War with a small towel, during which she will throw her head around, and pretend she’s a head banger by bobbing her head up and down!

Lady is quite quiet, and I am trying to encourage her to be louder, which is working. Sometimes I can hear her from upstairs! She will shout hello, and will call out Laaaaadyyyyyyy, and she does what sounds like a medium pitched, grunting dog bark! She speaks well but sometimes she speaks so quietly, and she always does it when I’m talking, so can never make out what she’s saying! She does say, hello, hello Lady, what ya doing and bye bye, she can whistle but it’s so very quiet.

I was hoping to have her screaming the housing down by now, but I’m still working on it! I’m still hoping she’ll give my Amazon a run for her money one day :)
