Meet Timneh Fred!

May 10th, 2011
Meet Timneh Fred!

Well another hectic weekend for us and another rescue collected on Sunday it was the turn of Fred the Timneh!

Fred is 20 years old and lived with his lovely owners Sue and Tom since a baby but due to illness they felt Fred wasn’t getting the attention he deserved so out of love for him they thought it best that he be rehomed somewhere that he could get lots of attention and love.

Fred talks a little and already told me to “Go away” in his cheeky voice he looks in lovely condition and is settling in at the moment he like’s to look in his mirror he came with and he also likes it when you sit and talk to him and mumbles back very sweet.

I gave him some palm oil on toast this morning and he loved it!!

Here are a few photos of him….Enjoy!


Oscar Is Here!

Oscar Is Here!

Saturday was a busy day for Oscar’s old owners who were rehoming him due to complaints from there neighbour, they took the long drive from Aberdeen to Durham to our area coordinators house Bob so that Oscar could be rehomed to a loving forever home!

Bob met the lovely couple and took Oscar in and settled him in and even had Oscar stepping up and sitting on his shoulder before the day was out which is great!

Oscar has already been matched with his new forever home with one of our great members on our forum who already has a grey, Rachel who is over the moon with him and has gone out and brought him a brand new cage and lots of new toys which he loves!

Here is a few photos of him and I will now hand the blog over to Rachel who will update it and tell you all about Oscar from now on!


Another Rescue – It’s Swazi!

Another Rescue - It's Swazi!

Bank holiday was a busy week yet again for us … as well as being laid up in bed for me on the sunday due to coming down with a sickness bug which went through the family one after the other, as soon as i felt better i had to make the journey myself alone with just Daizee-mai our 5 month old daughter for company as the rest of the family were at home being sick to collect another rescue called Swazi.

After fighting my way through the traffic i finally got to my destination and met Swazi and his owner who was deeply upset that he was going, but due to having to relocate with work to a different country and not being able to take him with him he had no choice but to rehome him.

Swazi is 5 years old and liked nothing more than to look out of his massive window that looked over the city and walking about the flat taking in his surroundings.

He has been with us a few days now and each time i walk passed him he says “good morning!” he is being very quiet but that is to be expected and it normally takes them a week or so to come round and start chanting all the words, songs and noises they know.

Here are some photos of the little man!


New Rescue – Meet Bailey!!

New Rescue - Meet Bailey!!

Well we had a very busy bank holiday weekend lots of gardening and on the Sunday we went to collect another African Grey to go though our rescue.

Her name is Bailey and she will be 2 next month in may, and she was rehomed as she was left alone for long periods of time due to work commitments and he found her a little too noisy.

She has settled in really well and has already started to talk to us, greeting me with a “Hello” in the morning and telling us to “shut up” “Be quiet”, “what’s all the noise about!”, “wanna go to the shops”, “come on Buddy” and a few other things, she is a great talker for her age.

As it was so nice still we put Bailey out in our day flight so she can stretch her wings she is a great flier and really enjoyed getting some sunshine on her feathers.

Here are a few photos –

She will make a great friend for one of our forever homes.

More to follow on Bailey, watch this space!!


Syd Meets The Sunshine!

Syd Meets The Sunshine!

Well it has been a while now since I did a update on Syd, she has settled in really well she is still quite bald but this is a lot to do with being hormonal rather than through boredom.

She still really enjoys her swing and coming out and shredding a cereal box to 10, and still mumbles her words when she speaks, she is enjoying being part of the crazy gang here and as the weather has been so nice over the last few weeks she has been spending a lot of the day outside in the big day flight with the others here….

She is quite bossy when she is in there with the other greys and will go looking for the others and push them out of the way she may be small but she is BIG in character!

She still goes crazy for Cashew nuts and will do anything for one!

Here are a few photos of her enjoying the sunshine!!
