YummYumm09

I don't mind...she is a friend of mine and is a breeder of several types of birds. However, she was in a severe accident last year and was not able to spend the time he needs. He has been in his cage for over a year. Her greys are starting to lay again and she offered me him or a hatchling. I chose him. Yes, she hand fed him and worked with him up until her accident. He has a lil fight to him, but for the most part it seems he does what I ask him. He does not like to be taken out of his cage but he has come out on his own. He was on top of his cage last night and my boyfriend got him to step up after 20 minutes of talking to him to put him to bed. Once he got him on his hand, Jeff (bf) decided it would probably be best to let him wonder on the floor for a little while (YummYumm seems to like that). Jeff did this so YummYumm would not associate coming off the top of his cage to going directly into his cage. Will keep you all updated. hoping ot have pics soon

Me too! He's my baby but not really a baby...he will be 19 months old on Aug 8th. So yes he is still very young for Greys but not a new born...I rehomed him...and he is unsexed B)

Thanks...I will keep u all updated...have a gr8 day

Thank you...it has been a wonderful day. He wouldn't come out of his cage this morning, but he was playing with his toys. Early afternoon he wondered out and would step on me. He just met my bf this morning and he ended up stepping up on him several times...now he has been on the top of his cage (he got up there himself) for a few hours. I just tried to step him up but he won't so I am just letting him be. Will try to get pics posted this week. {Feel-good-00020114}

AWESOME! AWESOME! AWESOME! He's been here 2 hours now...he came right to me...his 'old' owner left about an hour ago and he doesn't want to be away from me. He climbed up on my shoulder (I was leary) but it was good. I got some pics but have to take them to wally world to get uploaded. I will try to do that soon. I was sitting on the floor and he was walking around and wouldn't go far away from me, after a couple minutes he would come back to me and climb up on my leg...words can't decribe the feeling. He is now in his cage for the second time. I put him in it for about 5 minutes, he didn't move an inch from where he stepped down. He now has climbed onto the big purch and has poked at his toy once or twice (lol just heard the bell so he poked it again). He's got to be exhausted his bed time is around 930 (its 1242 now). I know its past mine. I think I am going to go talk to him for a little while, close the door, and try to get some sleep. Will keep you updated. {Feel-good-000200BB}{Feel-bad-0002006A} tears of joy<br><br>Post edited by: YummYumm09, at: 2009/08/02 06:46

OMG!!!! She is bring him down right now...I mean he will be here in like 15 minutes...I will post more tomorrow!!!

Thanks for your help...I have read through and printed a lot...Dam...my boyfriend is going to be jelous...I don't cook for him like I will be for YummYumm...but as I am finding the foods I want to give him all many of the ones we humans eat, so he (bf) will be able to eat better too lol...I will just let him (bf) think I am cooking for him (bf) lol Oh and I don't know the sex of YummYumm but the name just seems like a boy so, it's a boy for now...until I decided to get him sexed. Well, off to the grocery store (Getting a Harley ride in today too - not going to want to ride tomorrow. lol)

lol...I didn't sleep last night lol...I just sent her a message to see if I could get him tonight...I was thinking it would be nice to have our fist night together with being able to have the whole next day together because I have to work Monday.

Thank you {Feel-good-000200B9}

Thank you...I know things will go the way they are suppose to go but...I am just so nurvous.

YummYumm comes home tomorrow...I found out that the only thing he has had to eat is pellets. She has never given him anything else.(except the peanut I gave him the other night when I was there ) How do I start introducing new foods to him and when?

I thought he was 2 years-old, but I found out his hatch date is Jan 8, 2008. So he is almost 19 months old. My last visit we had him out(she gets him out with a towel....ugh I hate that). After I put him back in his cage I tryed to get him to stepup on my hand from inside his cage and he did it with no problem. I think it was because he was just out, but leaving the door open is what I planned on doing. I am not going to force him to do anything he doesn't want to do, I know I need to build our trust. His owner told me that she tried to get him out before she went to bed that night and he wouldn't do it. She said she thinks we are bounding already and that he has taken a liking to me WOOHOO!!

Thank you...It's bigger than what he has now...he doesnt come out on his own at his current home...now I am affraid he will like it in there too and won't want to come out. lol...worry worry worry...it will be what it will be

I can not believe the way things have been happening for me. I found out 2 weeks ago I was not going to bring YummYumm home until mid-October. I was so upset, but things were out of my control. I found out last night that as soon as I got a cage I could get him (post in 'Cages & Homes what I got him). So, I got the cage today and he is coming home SUNDAY!!!! 36 hours and YummYumm will be in his new home...wow...now I'm scared...will I be a good mom? Will I know what to do? OMG all these scary thoughts!!! Thanks for listening.<br><br>Post edited by: YummYumm09, at: 2009/08/01 05:51
