Luvparrots Posted March 15, 2011 Author Posted March 15, 2011 Thank you Georgiesmum!!!!! I am all excited and can't wait!
Elvenking Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 So my little girl is down to one evening feeding a day. Although she is eating parrot mix, veggies, fruits and pellets she still cries for her evening formula. I have everything ready for her: she is totally paid for, shipping and travel monies supplied, cage ordered, new toys, etc., etc. So soon, very soon my Isabella will be home!!!! I do need to figure out on course of action. Ana Grey is very jealous and possessive of me with the other two parrots and Isabella is only a baby so I am wondering if I should keep Isabella in another room until she gets use to me before she must deal with Ana Grey. I do want to do right by both Ana Grey and Isabella and frankly, this worrying is giving me a BIG headache!!!!! I know I am a little late but....what a cutr pic....I LOVE THE LIL BABIES!
Luvparrots Posted March 16, 2011 Author Posted March 16, 2011 Thanks Stephen! She certainly is a cutie and I understand very sweet and loving.
Elvenking Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 Thanks Stephen! She certainly is a cutie and I understand very sweet and loving. Eva raises good birds...I love Issac. I am sure you will love your baby.
Luvparrots Posted March 16, 2011 Author Posted March 16, 2011 Eva has said that I can have Isabella now if I want to continue with the nightly feedings. Frankly, I'm not really interested in doing this as I don't really believe in amateurs handfeeding baby greys; and I truly am an amateur. Isabella is not even 3 months old yet, dob 12/20/10, so I am skeptical of doing this. Eva says Isabella eats well and is probably only wanting the nightly feeding because the other babies (younger) are getting fed.

Yeah..my comfort level with issac was great..and Eva gave me a refresher course on feeding babies. I helped feed my brothers cockatoo and I loved it so much so I was willing to take. Issac home at nine weeks. On that I would certainly go with your instincts. But I can't wait to see MANY pictures of your new baby. Do share.
munch Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 Reading this thread from the beginning, let me tell you- YOU know how to build anticipation!! I'm practically jumping out of my seat in excitement for you getting your litttle Isabella! "Getting a new grey, its girl, no its a boy, no wait! its a girl!" Even now, waiting until after the night feeding...Sooo close!
Luvparrots Posted March 21, 2011 Author Posted March 21, 2011 So, my Isabella's breeder has e-mailed me that she is now ready to come home!!!! So I am now waiting to hear when and what time!!! Isabella just turned 3 months old yesterday! So exciting!!!
judygram Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 Gosh she has weaned early, Josey was about 4 months old or so before she weaned and was ready to come to her new home, bet you are on pins and needles waiting to hear when and what time, won't be long now.
Luvparrots Posted March 24, 2011 Author Posted March 24, 2011 Well I have my Isabella now. It was an 8-hour trip. So she was hungry and thirsty. I am quite confused because the DNA Sexing Certificate says she is female. Got that. But her hatch date is 1/10/11. So I have called Eva to see what is going on. Did she send me the wrong certificate or was my grey born 12/20/11 or 1/10/11? Eva has promised to e-mail the correct information. Isabelle does perch well and eats well so I am hoping it is just an error on the hatch date information sent me. I will also check the ID # on her band in the AM as she is already in bed now. Isabella is also much larger than Ana Grey my TAG so it should be interesting when they meet, which will be after the vet check tomorrow. I am keeping Isabella in a travel cage for right now to make sure she is not clumsy but so far she is well-coordinated and happy little grey. Pictures tomorrow!
Talon Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 Yay! I am so excited for you! I can't wait to hear about Isabella's first day in her new forever home. I wish I was a fly on the wall when she is introduced to the rest of your flock. That is always a precious time to see. Congrats!
judygram Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 Congrats on getting Isabella home and now the process begins of introducing her to the rest of the flock, I hope it all goes smoothly for you Janet but I know it will, can't wait to see more pictures of your precious Isabella.
Eshana Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 Congratulations on bringing your baby girl home! I read through this whole thread, and I am very excited for you! I can't wait to see pics. I'd also love to see pics of your CAG and TAG together to see the difference!
Luvparrots Posted March 24, 2011 Author Posted March 24, 2011 It will be a while before I try to get Ana Grey and Isabella together. Ana Grey is a very jealous little lady and Isabella is a baby so, we will see how Ana Grey reacts to just seeing Isabella in a cage for a while. First the vet visit before anything happens at all.
judygram Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 Oh you are just loving making us wait Janet, get the vet visit over and done with so you can make this happen. LOL Just kidding but you know we are an impatient lot here.
Luvparrots Posted March 24, 2011 Author Posted March 24, 2011 Before breakfast, scrambled eggs and mixed veggies, with a touch of red palm oil, Isabella weighed 365 g. she is eating like a champ and very friendly! Vet appointment at 12:30 pm today and I don't expect a problem. After breakfast pictures: After breakfast: 371 g
Eshana Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 She is so gorgeous! Wow! I'm sure she is adding lots of joy to your home!
Elvenking Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 SWEET! It's a baby! She is beautiful. They are so docile and sweet at that age. Give her a kiss for me.
