Kimijean Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 (edited) I’ve joined the forum because I’ll be getting a baby CAG in the near future. S/he is an egg right now. I’ve never had an AG but have bird experience. I had a Goffins Cockatoo before and boarded an Umbrella Cockatoo for a few months. My 16 yr old son and I are owned by a dog, 2 cats, 2 bunnies, and a few birds.: Male canary Dusky Pionus ~ female “rescue” Myer’s Parrot ~ female “rescue” Rosey Bourkes ~ female(?) I hand fed European Yellow Parrotlet ~ female about 2 ½ mo old Baby creamino IRN ~ female just weaned by me And I just started breeding Lineolated Parakeets on a very small scale. In fact it’s because of the linnies that I’m getting a CAG. I ended up with more linnies than I wanted (in order to help out a breeder I know) and a breeder is willing to trade a baby CAG for 6 linnies. This came about because she had a pare of p’lets for sale and I was thinking I wanted a breeding pair. We were going to trade a pair of linnies for the p’lets but I decided I don’t want to breed them. She has 4 baby CAG’s right now but has offered me a baby form the next clutch and we agreed that 6 linnies (1 bonded not proven pair, 1 male, and 3 females) would be close to an even trade. Before this I never even considered owning a CAG mainly because you always hear about all the problems that seem to be common with AG’s. So I joined in order to get all the help I can with raising this baby correctly. Kim Edited March 13, 2012 by Kimijean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimijean Posted March 14, 2012 Author Share Posted March 14, 2012 I feel the need to say that I'm disappointed. I joined 2 AG forums and started an introduction thread in/at each at about the same time. And even though this forum is the more active of the two, no one has bothered to welcome me. Based on this it seems the other forum is much friendlier. I do hope I'm wrong though. Kim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abieisert Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Kimijean, I too recently posted an intro but was welcomed...I am SURE that your post was overlooked!!!!!

abieisert Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Side note: Do you have any pictures of your flock? We too are owned by: 2 dogs, 300 gallon aquarium, Ziggy our grey and the wild birds I feed as well as the roaming wildlife. Prior, we had two parakeets and one tiel.

Kimijean Posted March 14, 2012 Author Share Posted March 14, 2012 Thank you abieisert. I’m not real good when it comes to actually taking pictures but I do have some of at least some of my animals. Would it be OK to place them here since this is an intro thread? Kim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimijean Posted March 14, 2012 Author Share Posted March 14, 2012 YAY! It worked. I'll try to get some pictures of everyone. I'll be taking a week off from work in one week for my birthday, so I will try to do it them Kim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvparrots Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Hi Kim, welcome to the Grey family! Congratulations on your new grey. Can't wait to hear more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abieisert Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Awe!! They are all adorable! Thank you for the pictures! I LOVE the bunny! How sweet he/she looks! Years ago, I raised NZ whites. They were a hoot! I would walk them on leashes and everyone was just baffled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimijean Posted March 14, 2012 Author Share Posted March 14, 2012 Hi Kim, welcome to the Grey family! Congratulations on your new grey. Can't wait to hear more! Thank you luvparrots! I heard from the breeder this morning and there is a slim chance I might be able to get one of the 4 babies she's feeding right now. Otherwise she has 4 eggs. Awe!! They are all adorable! Thank you for the pictures! I LOVE the bunny! How sweet he/she looks! Years ago, I raised NZ whites. They were a hoot! I would walk them on leashes and everyone was just baffled. My bunnies are girls. The other is a Hotot without the eye bands and both are very friendly and loving. They're house bunnies and get to run around the apartment sometimes.

abieisert Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Oh, YEA!!! Fingers crossed that you are able to get one of the one's almost ready! If not, it is till worth the wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oblivion Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Yay for more bunny people!!! Our first was a NZ white - we're not sure how old he was when he died, but he was around ten. Our other bun, a B/W Dutch is at least 10 herself now (both adopted a year apart back in 2001/2). Don't fret the slow welcome. This group is VERY active, but not always on Tuesdays. Had you jumped in on a Saturday or Sunday, I'm sure you'd have been swarmed. Myself, I often just check the threads I've been active in. If, after that, I have spare time, I check the new/recent threads (which is how I found this). It's truly nothing personal. Enjoy your stay. Read the archives, ask tons of questions and when in doubt, post pictures. BTW, my wife and I just started watching Portlandia the other day. What a silly show. I've only been to Portland once for a wedding, but loved the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only been to Portland once for a wedding, but loved the area. I’m new to bunnies as an adult but had some as a child. Just love them. Mine are only a few months old. My days off from work are Tue/Wed and I really wasn’t taking it personally. I find other forums are busier on week days and I always figured it's because people use computers at work. Naughty, naughty. LOL I grew up in Hawaii but have been in Ptld for 26 yrs now. Love the area! I don’t even know what Portlandia is, I don’t watch TV anymore, don’t even have one.

One of the linnies I'm trading for my baby CAG is bright yellow, i.e. lutino (red eyes). Mine is a girl and is semi tame. She's real sweet.
