Well, if this one doesn't work, I'll fix it tonight when I get home...

Went to visit baby bird for the first time in two weeks - (s)he is about 7 weeks old now, and absolutely adorable! I've included one picture in my profile, but I'll try to attach some more here. I won't be bringing home baby until he or she is fully weaned, but I am starting to get excited already! Of course my husband had to pick fun at the pictures just because baby bird doesn't have all of those grown-up feathers out of pins yet, but I think it's adorable Don't have a name, but we're looking for one - husband is a jazz pianist, so the poor thing will probably end up with a jazzer name...Parker, Bird, Herbie, Ella....I'm just not sure yet. Anyway, birdie's in great hands now at the breeders and is learning lots of new things. I'll update when I go for another visit - right now I'm immersing myself in bird literature, trying to be prepared!

Thanks! Yep - this will be the only parrot in the house, although I had a couple budgies growing up. Currently, we have dogs and horses, as well as several barn cats (the vet called them a "colony" when I took them to get fixed! - Guess that's what happens when you feed one stray...) Oh, yes - and an Eastern box turtle who lives in our backyard.

New on the board, although I've been lurking for a little while now. I'll become a mommy to a baby grey sometime in October! After a bit of searching and research, I found a breeder nearby and have already visited the little bugger once. I'm excited about the prospect of bringing home baby, but was also apprehensive until I found this site. Seems like there are a lot of great people here who know what they're talking about! Thanks in advance for your wisdom and advice, ~Jen
