aerial.2000 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 So, I got to go visit the store today and see my lil feller! *sighs happily* He is 5 weeks old and I was able to take a lil 3 minute video of him. The one I am interested in is the one kinda in the back under the towel. However the one upfront sure was watching every move I made and really active. The one in the back kinda laid back! Im sure that will change over the next few months so I havent made my decision yet on which one I will definately take! Id probably grab them both if given the chance and money LOL Got more toys today and lots of supplies to make some really cool toys. Got some super neat foot toys too. Starting to stock up a lil bit on some pellets. The petstore lady said you could freeze them :eek: I didnt know! I got to visit with the babies for like 40 minutes today and have been on cloud 9 ALL day. I even got to bring the cage home today. It sure looked SMALLER in the pet store holy smokes!!!!!!!!!!! I cant believe how big it is lol heres the vid of the babies: if you wanna see! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CqJtuWJlwBs&context=C378a6b4ADOEgsToPDskL-G_45FjRZ_yjyXHX575aL Oh and btw My name is Sara, I live in Kansas with hubby and 2 grown boys! I dont think I have formally introduced myself yet We have 3 dogs, 2 outdoor cats, and 1 horse that is potentially sold keeping my fingers crossed and a few chickens! Definately could say a full house lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Sara those two babies are adorable and both were intently starring at you so no matter which one you pick you have a winner. They are so cute at this stage with those black eyes and they enjoyed having their heads rubbed. Thanks for sharing the video with us. Yes you can freeze the pellets but do not buy too much to start with as their preferences can change. Yes cages are like Christmas trees, they always look bigger once you get them inside but the bigger the better as a grey needs a roomy cage.

Ty Ty and yes I agree I only bought the first bag because that is what they ween them off to and highly recommend using. I am sure as they grow and change if he starts wanting something different she will surely counsel me (lol least I hope she will) Gosh the people there are so great it really is such a relief and even a JOY knowing how much they are truly being cared for and how well. I can totally see me having difficulty choosing too :rolleyes: I just wanted to take both of them home lol and yes the mega long wait is gonna be a doozie! But I will have time to tinker with the cage and Yes I am glad I got the large one with the play top I think that is really important for them to have that kinda room HA now if I could reach the top w/out needing a step stool that would be great :eek: thanks for watching the vid .. you have no idea ok maybe you do .. how excited I am. and even more so that i figured out how to post it LMAO It was great to be able to call my mom and have her watch it on youtube she was just amazed! Thanks for all the wonderful helps and tips and suggestions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aerial.2000 Posted February 6, 2012 Author Share Posted February 6, 2012 I keep hearing rumors that a male CAG .. has a FLAT head more-so then a female .... any thoughts? I know the only way to know for sure is the DNA test ... but your thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oblivion Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I loved all of the sounds in that vid. I'm sure obnoxious to some, but heaven to me (and you, I'm sure). One of the advantages of getting a rehomed bird - no waiting for weaning or having to debate over which one to get. You can't pick wrong, I'm sure. Especially if you let the bird pick you.

kins2321@yahoo.com Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Aerial... you can come here to my home anytime you need a fix. Sophie LOVES attention, no matter whom they are! LOL!While we all teach our children " DONT TALK TO STRANGERS", I forgot to teach Sophie that. I went overboard encouraging her to accept everyone in my life. I think if a robber came in, she would lift her foot up.... Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aerial.2000 Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 lol that is funny ... can you imagine? I was going to try that too and get my baby accustomed to everyone in my house and people that visit I would hate to have a scared timid baby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aerial.2000 Posted February 19, 2012 Author Share Posted February 19, 2012 WOO HOO another great visit with Marco! Just totally loving it. He has made it from the "back" out to a big boy cage with 3 of his brothers n sisters. 1 is still in the back they feel just not big enough to join them. They think they'll keep them all together for the next few weeks and then separate them ALL into their own cages I was so excited to get there today and see him OUT in full view. It was amazing to see how many people came in and just fussed over the baby grey cage! *ahhhhhhh big sigh* felt great knowing one of them is mine already Think Im going to sneak back up tomorrow for another visit lol Took hubby up today for his first visit with him. I do believe he has falling for that lil guy in just 1 visit. (happens quick!!!) SO instead of plastering lots of pics here I have made a website (well with the help of others) and put the pics THERE as well as several new lil videos! YEAHHHHHH! http://sites.google.com/site/marcosperch/home Enjoy If the page says NOT FOUND ... click the HOME link or the Picture Book link and it will redirect you!

aerial.2000 Posted February 19, 2012 Author Share Posted February 19, 2012 Smiles ... they have moved my big boy out to a cage this weekend! I call it his bigboycage! He is out there with 3 other CAG's and 1 is still in back not big enough but will probably be joining the rest out front this week. It amazes me that 3 are already under deposit they are moving fast. Anyways ... here's Marco from this weekends visits and I got to visit him yesterday AND today !!! YEAH! He was sprawled out on a towel walking round on the couch, apparently wore himself right out lol he fell asleep in my hand :eek: it was SOOOOO sweet! 7 weeks old already! They say atleast 6 more weeks! :rolleyes: In 2 weeks they will separate all the CAGs into their own cages ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aerial.2000 Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 Sometimes I wonder if visiting him at this super young age once a week is doing any good. I know it does ME good lol and I hope somewhere hes storing the image and sound of my voice in his head. I know his eyes watch me and look straight thru me. Today he chased my fingers on the towel. I stay like 2 hours each visit and just play with him, craddle him and pet him and course talk to him. I hope its enough. Going twice this week was a great bonus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Life is Greyt Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I think it definitely helps you guys to bond. He is such a little cutie! I would stay with my little Chickie for hours at a time, so I totally understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
