I will try and get a video, but every-time I get the camera out she knows its time for her close up and is too busy being a little ham to remember what she was doing before......

Aww there is nothing sweeter than a baby green cheek!!They are sooo cute! I just wish more people would do their research before bring home the sweet cuddly baby because in two years they turn into little devils. that being said I would not trade my little devil Raine for anything!

My little baby Bella is so smart! She has been "practicing" whistling the Emperor's March for the last few days and this morning she has it down pat and has been entertaining me with it for the last hour I am amazed at how quickly she learned it, I am pretty sure she is a genius

Bella is very stubborn also, if she does not want to do something, it is very hard to make her. Such as going to bed when she was not done with her cuddle!

I saw that and wondered.....What a little superstar!

What a smart baby! Lucky you, it does sound like he will be a good talker.

I think she would have gone home with him, if she could. She kept flying off us to go to him, I was a little jealous

neat idea looks like fun!

my Bella will not bathe in a dish either, and she really does not like being sprayed, she usually flies onto me so I stop. she does keep her beak and face very clean, usually she rubs it on my hand

Bella and my little brother Alex, she REALLY loves him

Well my baby Bella has been home for almost two weeks! She is so sweet and settled right in. I absolutely love the baby noises. She also barks like a dog, the breeder had corgis. She is just a little love bug, I did not expect her to be so outgoing. she met my family and was very friendly, let everyone pass her around and give her kisses. What a darling!

I felt bad for the breeder, she had 3 babies left and says they are hard to find homes for after they get too much older than 6 months. I hope they find good homes, I just was not sure I could handle two. Bella is such a delight though, she is not at all afraid of us. I was prepared to just let her alone for the first few days as she learned to trust me, but she just wants to be out and get attention and treats. She is not eating much, besides what i give her from my hand, but I figure she will pretty soon here.

Little poser

it is my pleasure to present to you Miss Bella, the newest addition to our flock. She is a darling and has us wrapped around her little talon already! We met with the breeder Saturday evening after our long drive. All of the babies were adorable, but Bella really wanted to stay on us, she was the only one who did not try to fly back to the cage. So we came back for her in the morning and the breeder offered us another bird for free, she has been having a hard time finding a home for all eight. I was really tempted to take her sister as well, but decided that since this is my first bigger bird, I decided that I was nervous enough about raising one , I probably better not try two, plus we have no room for another cage, if I decided not to house them together(I was kicking myself the whole way home, but I think I made the right choice)Anyway, she did beautifully on the trip home, she begged to come out of the cage the whole way, we let her out at every stop and she just wanted to snuggle. When we made it home she went right into her cage and explored, then ate a little and went to sleep.

Oh gurr I just got a message from my breeder and the babies are ready to go next weekend but I have a cub scout trip and so I have to wait until the original date.darn those adorable boys!

I figured the best solution to having to choose one would be to just bring them all home:) however my husband does not agree with that idea... what a party pooper!

My baby comes home in 15 days!(I have a countdown on my computer screen:) I am so very excited, it has been such a long wait, first to find a breeder near us, then for a clutch, then to watch them grow up through the pictures the breeder sends! I have been waiting for over a year! The cage is all set up, my husband is making a play stand this weekend, I have read every article ever written about bringing home a baby, and pretty much everything else about owning a grey. Now all that remains if for us to drive the 7 hours and pick which of the babies we want. Now THAT will be hard, they are all so cute! I have a few questions left though: Obviously the trip home with baby will be a little long, does anyone have any recommendations on how to make this as stress free as possible?The breeder is going to give us a dog crate to bring them home in..... Also, the bird will be 4 1/2 months old and has been fully fledged and they are all confident little fliers. I have read about how clumsy they can be as babies,but is that more before they fledge? I guess what I am getting at is should I lower all the perches in the cage and have a towel on the bottom, or should a fully fledged bird be pretty steady and confident? I have finally decided on names, Kuzko if it is a boy and Belle for a girl. Ahhhhh!!!!!! How can I wait 15 whole days!

I have the same green foraging toy for my new baby who is coming home in january does he seem to "get" it? He is super cute by the way!

I may die from all the cuteness!

My baby is coming from a breeder, who I have completer faith in, I know several people who have gotten babies form her and they have all been very healthy. he of course will get a check up when he gets home and the other two have gotten their clean bill of health recently.

I am getting my baby grey in January (*bursting with Happiness*) and I have a question. I have 2 other birds, a budgie and a conure, both in good health. I am wondering if it would be advisable to skip quarantine in this particular situation. You see I live in a one bedroom, the birds are in the very large great room, so the only place to quarantine the baby would be in the bedroom. It is a very small room, and the way we could fit his HUGE cage in there is to put it against the window, which is a rather chilly spot.(for some stupid reason someone replaced all the windows in the house EXCEPT that one and the one in the bathroom, making the bedroom a very chilly place)It would be a very crowded situation and I wonder if it may just make things more stressful for everyone. On the other hand I have had the importance of quarantine drilled into my head..... Advice anyone?
