new grey, when should we all hold her?

[luv4scjjt]

I picked up my TAG taday. Me and my husdband visited her almost every day till she was ready to come home. Now that we brought her home should we let the kids (15, 14, and 13) handle her right away? I want her to bond with everyone. So will it stress her out to be handled right away by them? Basically will it hurt their relationship with her? Do they handle her now or give her a few weeks to settle in?

The first day or so, you want to let your TAG settle in. It is a big adjustment. It is great that you and your husband went to see him prior, to make the transition easier. You can introduce your kids slowly. First Have them approach the TAG quietly individually when he is in the cage. Have them speak softly to him and try to make eye contact. You have to take your cues from the bird. The point is not overwhelm the TAG. Each TAG is different too and has different preferences. They may take to one of your kids more than the others. You are all a flock now.

Good luck
