Cupid Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 (edited) Hi friends, Aristotle has been a good boy bird, & has shown a new interest for my wife. Were a happy flock and have news to share. . . The great news is that I was surprised to get a new addition to the flock. I have been blessed with a CAG named Paloma Picasso. We got home last night and I am so happy to have her in our home.

Cupid Posted March 24, 2012 Author Share Posted March 24, 2012 We will be DNA testing "her" next week at her vet check up. I though Aristotle was a female until the DNA, so well see what sex is the bird then. For now shes a girl to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cupid Posted March 24, 2012 Author Share Posted March 24, 2012 (edited) Thanks luvparrots, this was my cousins CAG that she had gotten from a local breeder. She was loved, but their family was going through tough times and my cousin felt she wasnt giving Paloma the attention she deserved. She knew how passionate I am about our birds and decided it would be best for the bird if I took her in. I am so grateful and humbled by her generosity, and look forward to making Paloma as happy as can be. Edited March 24, 2012 by Cupid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danmcq Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Congrats, she's a beauty. She could not have landed in a more perfect home and your cousin I am certain could come and visit when time permits. Seems like a win-win to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katana600 Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 So happy that your flock is integrating Paloma and giving her a nice welcome. The more I see the happy homes with more birds, the more I am sure I am picking up the MBS and here I was so sure I would be immune. Gilbert still needs a lot of TLC and doesn't take well to changes, but I hear the call of the many more parrots out there looking for a spot in my heart. So happy for you that you have a new addition, you are surely blessed. (For the uninitiated, MBS is multiple bird syndrome... be aware, be very aware, it sneaks up on you. Stay out of the Amazon room, I swear those Amazons are looking right at me and saying "what are you waiting for?") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kins2321@yahoo.com Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Katana600 LOL! I guess we suffer from MBS. As far as avoiding the Amazon room, it is tough to do! Just to encourage you to take a look at that room, my girl Kiki our Orange Winged Amazon, was here even before Sophie, my grey. Not by much in time. They have grownup together. Kiki always encouraged Sophie to fly, try new foods, take a risk. Sophie my grey, never was allowed to settle, take the easy road. More from Kiki's influence then us. Kiki our Amazon is superior physically, food and toy exploration. Sophie is superior with intelligence, able to organize the entire flock. Is one more superior than the other? I don't think so!

Cupid Posted April 4, 2012 Author Share Posted April 4, 2012 DNA came back, and Im a proud papa of a little girl! Shes getting sweeter everyday with me. Thanks for all your kind replies, I appreciate all of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katana600 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Congrats to the happy new papa of a sweet little girl. I am so happy with your flock addition and also with the caring way you have approached this gift and opened your heart and home. I am definitely going to the Amazon room more than I ever planned to do and I love the boisterous personality of these gregarious little darlings. We learn something new from every parrot, regardless of their species. Every one of them is unique and wonderful in his or her own way. I am thinking Paloma is going to add her own little flair to your flock and keep things interesting for you in the years to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Welcome to Paloma! She's lovely! How old is she? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cupid Posted April 5, 2012 Author Share Posted April 5, 2012 (edited) Welcome to Paloma! She's lovely! How old is she? Thanks Doug, shes about 2 years old. I remember when my cousin first got her and hewr eyes were dark, now they have a light touch of grey. Shes been a real sweeetheart, & mumbles something everytime I get close. She lets me stroke her, I know that Im in LOVE. Aristotles happy to have her home too. Hows Elegua? Edited April 5, 2012 by Cupid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always think of Gilbert when Aristotle lures me over to try to take a bite, but Ill always love him anyhow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
