Eshana Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 I'm so sorry this happened! Perhaps the mother suspected something wrong with the clutch? I'm sure you'll find your soul bird soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katana600 Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 From the moment the egg hatches, you have your hopes up and make plans and dreams of your baby. I am so sorry for you and for your breeder. It is so hard to know you never got to hold your little one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lmayes69 Posted March 28, 2011 Author Share Posted March 28, 2011 thanks guys n gals.. i never uestion why things happen.. .it just wasnt meant to be at this particular moment.. The breeder was really hurt... it was somewhat of an awkard conversation because i think she was excited that i was excited and then felt bad to have to deliver the news and i felt bad because i knew she ws hurt by the loss. she kept saying im so sorry and then i would say im so sorry and this went on for about 10 minutes... told her to hold onto my deposit because i would like to get my bird from her.. but i am set on a timeh ( no offense to the congo owners ) but there is just something about the timneh that has me.. she did offer a discounted congo but i told her no thank you. she is checking with some of her "breeder buddies" to see if anyone has them. So my hunt begins.... again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray P Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Yoy do not have to apologies because you want a TAG. I have a congo and I won`t apologies for that. Every bird on earth has some one that wants them and that the way it should be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jules420_91 Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I am so sorry to hear your heartbreaking news. I understand why you want a TAG but if you can't find one I can tell you as a new mom to a 15 week old CAG both Greys are wonderful birds. I think if you are able to visit your baby during the weaning process regardless of what kind of bird it is you form a wonderful bond with your baby. We visited our baby twice a week for at least 2 hrs per visit & we could not have asked for a sweeter bird than our Louie. I just don't want you to pass up the opportunity to share your life with a wonderful bird by limiting yourself to only Tags. I'm sure your baby will find it's way to you. We are thinking of you.

Julie, Greg, Pat, Tarzie & Louie Thank you ... If i were to find a cag that actually liked me i dont think i would be opposed to getting one.. but from a "want " standpoint i would love a TAG. The CAGs ive come across that were for sale were not friendly or were somewhat skittish with the exception of one that needed a 1500 surgery on her leg from a breeder. So while im not generalizing all CAGs My initial experiences with TAGs have been better. But if i found one that was for sale that took to me i wouldnt pass it up.

Guest jules420_91 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 I completely understand what you are saying. We have made many visits to our breeders store over the past 20 yrs & in our own experience with their baby birds the TAGs have always been very friendly approachable birds. The CAG s always seem a little more cautious but once they become curious & comfortable they love attention too. We took a long time to decide on a breed of parrot. At first we wanted a TAG but once I met our baby CAG we were hooked. There was just something special right from the beginning with Louie. We started visiting him when he was only 5 weeks old so he bonded well with us & trusts us. He has not had any difficulty settling in at home with us. This was pleasantly surprising. We were expecting him to be at least a little nervous but no it's more like "well it's about time you brought me home". LOL. I wouldn't trade him for the world. When the time is right you & your new baby will find each other. I'm so sorry for the loss of your first TAG it is just heartbreaking. Please keep us posted when you find your baby.
