These are such cute stories. Very smart birdies as you all know. I cant wait to have my own experiences to share with you all.

Thank you all for sharing! I posted in my other post that I have FINALLY named my lil baby. He/she is Beemo =)

More and more feathers.....

He/She has a name!!!!! Lol It's Beemo What do yall think? And for you folks who have been fallowing me thank you all for the suggestions and yes, it took me three weeks to name this lil one lol. Beemo is named after a character in Adventure Time. Anyone watched that show? BMO, but I spell it as Beemo. Go google it and you will see lol. So here's Beemo! 6 weeks old now

"YouTube Star" I love it!!! My Sun Conure Charlie has a FB page. Thanks for sharing these pics.

Thank you for thinking of them wild feathered friends. Before getting my baby grey, I used to park my car at a near park to eat my lunch or have coffee during my lunch break. I noticed there were so many wild birds just hanging around so I ended up getting some bird food for them. Did it everyday, but now I have my baby to come home to on my lunch breaks to feed hhahaha. BTW We plan on moving to WA in the future. Hawaii is just getting way to expensive and way too many people on such a small island. We dont mind the wet and cold(well, we say that now... lol). Been there 3 times and loved it.

What is Y'alls CAG/TAG's names?.... GO!...

Growing so fast. Preparing his/her cage soon so when he is ready to graduate from the brooder then his home(cage) will be ready for him. Ummm ya, I am still trying to figure out a name for the lil one. I literally spend hours a day looking up names or even just randomly just coming up with names hahaha. When I posted another pic earlier I though to myself as I was snapping the pics.. He looks just like Happy Feet, a baby penguin. lol. So I thought of naming him after a character from the movie but I didnt find any interest in them. Then I thought... Maybe Happy? But the more I said the name Happy the more I didnt like it. UGH! Why am I so picky when it comes to names.... Again, I am open for suggestions yall hahahah Sorry I will just call the lil one "Baby" for now since thats what his nickname is for now. But baby is so smart for being so young already. Full of personality already too. Baby, only 5 weeks and some days old, already know to step up on my hand to come out of the brooder for feeding time. Its amazing! Follow this thread for more pics and stories to come yall. Take care! =) Oh, and ill come back to check for your name suggestions too ::hint hint:: hahahaha

Getting big so fast!

Too funny, because I can relate! Every time there is a new baby they come to me like it was yesterday that they were still being hand fed. Some even sneak in and get a taste when I am not looking. Update on the lil one. He/she (I wish I knew the sex! but we'll just say "He" for now) is getting more and more feathers. Getting strong too! Just a while ago after a feeding he climbed right up onto my lap over a towel. Walking better and better each day and always surprising me with how fast he is learning things already, very smart birds even as babies. He like to nibble on the towel and once in awhile will try to bite/play with his toys. After that, snuggles up against me and does a few beak grinding then off to sleep. I just adore all those baby sounds. Still cant decide on a name yet but so far the winner is Riley, while I still have my eyes open for others. Yes, this baby CAG, my child, will be my life long friend!

Lucky you are a friend of the breeder and I am surprised you dont have one of each by now hahahah just kidding.

Score! =) I got some good things for great deals at petco on clearance.

Oh my! Cuteness overload. I just love babies. My baby grey's tail feathers look exactly like that. The red is just popping out. I wouldnt want to leave them too, oh look at that macaw. Where did you see these cutie patooties at?

Hi Moderators! Thank you for all you guys do around here to keep this wonderful forum awesome as it is. Do any of you know what happen to my reply here? If I recall correctly it said it had to be approved and I may have submit it twice sorry. Thank you!

I totally agree! If I did not have the experience I have then I wouldnt even trust myself in doing so. I have done so much research and have taken a avian certificate course to better my knowledge of birds in general. It is like a child you want whats best for them and you want to raise them right. I was lucky to meet a cockatiel breeder when I was 15, learned allot from him. He was able to teach me hand feeding and some basics of birds. On another note. My lil baby I think just learned how to use his/her voice. Seems to be more vocal with the baby sounds, too cute! Lil one likes to play longer now before going back into the box. Still trying to decide on a good name. So far maybe its Riley, Alex, and Skylar... But im still looking for now hahah I get too picky when it comes to naming them. Take care yall! =)

Looks like she is settling in well. Thank you for sharing =)

Great sounding motto there! I come here to learn lots and make wonderful friends along the way.

Very much in detail, I love it! Thanks for sharing. =)

Big Congrats! =)

Enjoying my day off and learning all I can about these CAG's =) Need to clean house, take care my mini zoo lol, prepare dinner. Oh you know the usuals...

Hi there, Wanted to see who all handfed their babies. I have handfed majority of my flock from just 3-4 weeks old. This is my first grey though. Wanted to see what tips suggestions would you all have on raising a CAG from this age, anything welcome. I have done a ton of research but the more you know then the better. Take care =)

Since you asked..... lol First pic is the lil one playing with toys for the first time. They are very curious of things at such a young age. 2nd, he/she is standing up. 3rd, was taken yesterday after a feeding. Boy do they grow fast in these stages, there is already a difference from the 1st and 3rd pic. Enjoy!

Such fascinating birds. Cant wait till my baby gets older and he/she surprises me with their intelligence everyday. But, at the same time I want to enjoy every baby moment I have with this lil one as they grow fast.

Thank you all! He/she (ya, still no name yet) is getter bigger already and walking better everyday. Flight feathers peeking out and the red tail pins are visible. I have made a long reply to all a few days ago but it said it needed approval before its posted but yet to see it being posted here, does it normally take that long? Sorry! New here and still trying to get used to things here. Take care! =) Robbie

Very cute indeed! We went to go look at these two baby green wing Macaws and it was so very hard for me to leave without one.
