Kaedyn Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 I've attached a few preemptive mugshots of a tiny 5 week old friend of mine. I say preemptive because we all know it won't be long before he/she gets into a lot of trouble. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aslterp59 Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Priceless pictures! Thanks for posting! We didn't get to see our Gemma when she was a baby so this gives me a good idea what she would have looked like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Hello Jim, its nice to have you back posting on the forum again, you have been missed. You have an adorable baby grey there in those pictures, are we to assume this is a new addition to your flock, if so I hope so and look forward to seeing and hearing a lot more of this little cutie.

Morana Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Adorable baby and great pictures!:-) I love how fluffy he/she looks!! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaedyn Posted July 24, 2011 Author Share Posted July 24, 2011 He/she COULD be mine if I so desire. Which of course, I do; I want them all. For now, I'm just getting my little friend used to being handled (all over) and socialized with people. I'm working toward flight (unclipped), bathing and harness training once he/she's old enough. If I don't keep this one for myself, at least he/she might be well adjusted. I just don't take permanent additions to my flock lightly. This would be my first Timneh. We'll see..... When I was young, my parents had a Timneh named Amos that was a wild caught import. They got him a long time ago and didn't know any better.

ranaz Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 oh... so cute... Im really tempted to get a baby grey... although one grey has already taken over my home...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaedyn Posted July 24, 2011 Author Share Posted July 24, 2011 My parents left Amos in the care of some friends when they went on a vacation and his caretakers underestimated the abilities of a grey to escape his cage. Amos set himself free and it wasn't a happy time for any of us. That was over 24 years ago. I can only hope he was rescued. I feel I need to add a disclaimer concerning a baby this young. The room these photos were taken in is a specially designed room for newly hatched chicks. Even the climate is highly controlled. Something as simple as feeding a bird this young, if not done exactly right, can kill them. I'm under the supervision of a friend who has experience breeding thousands of birds of all species. Your best bet is to bring home your baby once they're eating solid food, which varies but is somewhere around 16 weeks. If you want to interact with them at a younger age, find a breeder who will let you visit with your new baby until it's time to come home. Ranaz: My comments aren't necessarily aimed at you, for all I know you're already fully aware of the issues. I just felt it needed to be said. I don't want to give people the wrong idea or set a bad example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morana Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I am really sorry to hear about Amos:-(( I do hope he is well and sound:-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranaz Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Sorry to hear about Amos. It is a great responsibility to take care of baby parrot. I have experience breeding canaries few years back. I always loved the babies but cannot underestimate the responsibility of taking care of them and making sure all is clean, disinfected and fresh. Enjoy your baby and thanks for sharing the pix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
