490.1another new owner..DNEAST::CHIMERA_DONMon Jan 28 1991 15:008
    Hi Bruce, 
      I picked up my baby grey yesterday...six weeks old and we'll be 
    handfeeding four times a day. I will be glad when I get some more
    confidence in my ability to handfeed and both the bird ( Heart) and I
    get used to one another! This is the result of several years of
    planning and saving and it still doesn't seem real...I think Greys are
    super birds and look forward to the next several weeks and the bonding
    process. Keep us posted on your progress with Alex.

    Welcome Bruce.  I'm sure that you will really enjoy your little
    African Grey.  It is good to see that there are other bird maniacs
    in Windham N.H.  (I am also from Windham!).  If you are not yet a
    member of a bird club, you may want to consider joining one.  You
    can learn so much from fellow members.  It just so happens that
    I belong to BOAF (Birds of a Feather Avicultural Society).  We meet
    once a month (2nd Monday) in Manchester, at the Holiday Inn_West
    which is right on the Amoskeag Bridge exit off 295 (About 20 minutes
    from Windham).  If you want to find out more about the club, just
    drop me a line.  We have over 200 members now.
    
    Best wishes!
    
    Denise B.
