It is actually a picture of a fairy...it has become quite faded and needs retouched very badly! Here is a picture of it when it was first done:

I do wish those DNA results would get here! I have narrowed down the names to two choices, For a boy Gabriel, and for a girl, Chloe. Oh I am so excited!!!! :woohoo:

Just went and visited the little one again today! Baby is now one month old! <br><br>Post edited by: fairymyst78, at: 2008/09/05 04:57

What a great picture!! Have you ever gone scuba diving on the great barrier reef? When I was a kid my parents took me snorkeling on the Great Barrier Reef, and it was like nothing I could ever imagine!

:silly:

Will let him know.

soaptylerdurden you think you are so funny don't you????!?!?!?!?! For everyone's information that is my hubby messing with me!!!!!

Thanks for the help! Karma to you!

I saw this on Ebay, and I just had to share! She can even personalize and paint a picture you send to her! http://cgi.ebay.com/Original-Art-hand-painted-African-Grey-Parrot-ornament_W0QQitemZ280260889490QQihZ018QQcategoryZ10816QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem<br><br>Post edited by: fairymyst78, at: 2008/09/03 03:29

Siobha9: I am not sure how long it takes to get the test results back. Broomer: Loki is a good name for a grey! LOL. I have a cockatiel named Zeus! I love the video's you have chronicling the growing of your baby!

Yes, the name list is long.....I really need to narrow it down! It's so hard to choose a name without really knowing the little ones personality yet. I will pick a name once I know the sex. I sent the egg shell off to avian biotech late last week. Here is my list: Girls: Lotus (the flower, which represents spiritual awakening and strength) Ivy (a vine) Arianna (Holy) Bella Kiss (beauty) Ophelia (help) extra info: Ophelia is a main character in Shakespeare's tragic play "Hamlet" who dies by drowning while in a state of delirium and mental torment. Ophelia has since become a symbol of angst for teenage girls. Star (star) Isabella (consecrated to god) Hope (trust) Chloe (blooming) Victoria (victory) Leila (Dark beauty) Zara (means dawn) Boys: Damien (to tame) Ash (happy) Poe (was the last name of famous goth poet) Draven (last name of the crow) Forrest (woodland) Jack (diminutive of god)(jack skellington) Victor (victory) Gabe/gabriel (god's able bodied one) Mr Bigglesworth (cat from Austin Powers) Boy or Girl: Willow (slender, graceful) Azrael (cat off the smurfs) Moon (Earth's only natural satellite) Cole (triumphant people) Cloud (visible mass of droplets or frozen crystals floating in the atmosphere above the surface of the Earth or another planetary body) Ghost (the apparition of a dead person) Grey (a color) Phoenix (mythical bird, that can raise from the ashes,rebirth) Shadow (a region of darkness) Absinthe (anise flavored green colored spirit)

Well...we thought the cage looked empty...so I printed a picture of an African grey off of the internet and we cut it out and taped it in the cage! LOL..I know it's silly but it is a kick when new people come over...for a second they think it's a real birdy!!

I have had the cage set up since May!!!! It's been torture. I am just glad my grey will be home within the next two months!! <br><br>Post edited by: fairymyst78, at: 2008/09/01 23:22

Early November sometime. We are going for a visit with the baby on Thursday. I am excited to see how the little one has grown since my last visit almost 2 weeks ago.

My husband found the picture...and made the caption. I wish I had MY bird to take pictures of! The wait seems so long till I get to bring the new baby home!!!

I hope this works....

Thank you all for the congrats! I actually brought the egg shell home with me so I can send it in to have the baby bird sexed with avian biotech. SO...I figure once I know if the baby is a boy or a girl then I can narrow down my list of near 30 names I have already. I plan on visiting the bird every other week..so hopefully I can come up with a name sooner then later.

Met my new baby birdy today!!!! Here is a picture.. <br><br>Post edited by: fairymyst78, at: 2008/08/22 07:30

I received my bird Talk magazine in the mail yesterday and I was so excited to see a picture of a beautiful African Grey on the front cover! And..inside a two page picture of the little cutie!! Good article too.

I have a list of 30 possible names! I will have to start narrowing down the list, because with that many names it could take me awhile! I figure once I start visiting the little guy or girl, I will be able to decide a bit easier.

Thank you all! I will keep everyone updated.

Well to update everyone the baby grey I am waiting on just hatched from the egg on August 4th. In about a week the breeder will start hand feeding! It is the only bird that hatched out of this clutch..so this baby BETTER make it! So in one more week I might have some pictures to post of my new baby!

I am planning on purchasing this play stand...eventually.... http://www.bird.com/itemdy00.asp?T1=502397

Glad to hear scar is doing well. What a wonderful grey owner you are! I hope all works out with the small claims court. +1 Karma from me as well!

Congrats! I am so happy to hear that Bobby is home! :silly:
