I wouldn't buy 2 birds at once because its difficult to give two babies the attention they need. I think getting one bird for now would be a good idea. Maybe get one baby from this person either a TAG or a CAG depending on which one you'd rather have, and see how it goes. If you think you still want another bird after having the baby for a while then get another one. Maybe you can even rescue an older bird. Its just my opinion, I hope everything works out for you, keep us posted <br><br>Post edited by: caitb2007, at: 2009/04/03 20:13

Awwww what a smarty pants! Ecko has started to step up onto our finger but we have to help him. He will give me one foot and then he needs help getting the other foot on my finger lol. He isn't as good as Shady though. Thats great that he can step on and then back down. CONGRATS

Well the DNA results are in and Ecko is officially a BOY! My breeder was right! He is one big boy too, he weighed 467 grams yesterday at the vet. We did a couple of tests that will come back Monday but other than that they said was a very healthy boy. They couldn't get over how cute he was. lol Anyways I just thought I'd share with my grey family :laugh: Have a GREYT day!

That video was so cute! thanks for sharing

I went to the vet today and my vet told me about sprouting seeds. I have never heard of it before and now I am going to start to do it. I googled it and learned a lot about it. I am going to sprout sunflower seeds. My vet says they are way more healthier when they are sprouted. I have a mixture of Zupreem pellets, dried fruits and a seed mixture with sunflower seeds in it that I have been giving my baby to nibble on but now I am going to have to pick all of the sunflower seeds out to sprout them lol oh well my babys health is worth it.

Thank you so much guys! I love the name too

I thought I'd finally share a picture of me. Me and Ecko: and here is my boyfriend Robert and Ecko: <br><br>Post edited by: caitb2007, at: 2009/04/02 04:12

AWWW Ziva is such a character! That is soo cute, she really knows what she is saying! Thanks for sharing

Pat: He weighed 467 grams with an empty crop. He is still on 3 feedings. In the mornings he will eat alot but at lunch he started to refuse it so he doesn't eat much of it at lunch and in the evenings he eats most of it. It's good that he is refusing it at lunch bc I am slowly going to stop giving him lunch. I've been watching him and he is actually eating his pellets and veggies. He really likes pine nuts! I guess bc they are soft and easy to break. He does have some trouble breaking up the Zupreem pellets. He likes to eat his foods right after I feed him, weird huh? lol

So I went to the vet today and asked about the bug spray and she said that it is not safe for the birds! Thanks everyone for your help you guys were right! I will be taking him to my moms house for awhile when my house gets sprayed.

Thank you all so much for the suggestions! We both finally agreed on the name ECKO. YAY my baby finally has a name :laugh: EVERYONE MEET ECKO! <br><br>Post edited by: caitb2007, at: 2009/04/01 22:33

His tail is pretty red, and his grey feathers aren't as dark as Timnehs usually are. Maybe he is a Timgo (Timneh/Congo mix) lol:P

Great videos! Thanks for sharing:)
