Thanks to everyone who replied with such great advice. It's nice to be prepared on what to expect. Little Koko Mango has settled right in, nothing seems to phase her. She seems to enjoy us all already. We're all praying that she doesn't lose her cuddly side, but she seems to like being close where she's safe. She's making more sounds already, playful gurgles and whistles when she's playing on the floor with us. The little monster in her comes out when she can't chew on something that she really likes. Just like a little 2 yr old toddler. Just so cute. She's had lots of family come and visit her this weekend and she seems to enjoy the excitement! My biggest worry was that she wouldn't eat enough, but not any more. She loves her oatmeal for breakfast and dinner, loves cheerios and apples, and she's doing really well with her seeds. She is much smaller than her brother, but I think she'll catch up quick with her appetite. Sorry about my pictures, somehow I blocked them all and can't unblock them. If anyone knows how could you let me know? Thanks so much!!

What a night! We brought Koko Mango home Friday with her big cage and toys and everything! I couldn't believe how nervous I was! Amazingly tho, Koko was very calm and put me right at ease. She's very used to people and noise all around her. Of course I couldn't sleep at all, I was worried that she'd fall into her water dish or something! :unsure: My husband, 2 daughter's and I all had a chance to let her snuggle and fall asleep with each of us. Just the best feeling! She's so curious about everything, and loves to play and snuggle... she's a great little bird.

After reading everyone's great advice, I guess I've realized that it's like bringing home a brand new baby! (human) Everyone has wonderful advice on what to expect, especially your mother and Grandmother, and all of it helps especially when you're a first time mom. Yet nothing beats that motherly instinct! Of course my heart says to hug her and squeeze her and kiss her and love her and hold her.... LOL When I brought my daughter's home, the house was full of friends and family, lots of noise. With my husband being the lead singer in a rock and roll band, my girls had to learn to sleep through the noise. Though our home is somewhat quieter now, I do want our Grey to be as socialized as possible! I'm with you!

She'll be roughly 12 weeks. She is fully weaned now and ready to come home!

Saturday's the big day. My family and I will be purchasing her cage and setting it all up tomorrow, and Saturday, we should be bringing Koko Mango home!! We're all very excited, and a little nervous. We all want to be the best humans for her. If anyone has any tips on how to make it less stressful for the baby, please let me know!!!
