Ray P Posted August 10, 2012 Posted August 10, 2012 The count down starts now. Lets see its 4: 39 now. Are you on your way yet.
BeeFernandez22 Posted August 10, 2012 Author Posted August 10, 2012 The count down starts now. Lets see its 4: 39 now. Are you on your way yet. Lol.. its 3:50 my time and I will leave here around 6 to head that way
BeeFernandez22 Posted August 11, 2012 Author Posted August 11, 2012 Well we just got Maverick tucked in for the night! He did so well!! Immediately making his kissy noices and snuggling with me! He said "hello" when I went to pick him up (I swear!!) I about died!! It wasn't completely clear but I said "Hello" and he definitely muttered it back. Isn't he way too young to be speaking? Am I just wishfully thinking?? Haha. I will post some pictures tomorrow when I can get some really good ones of him. I kinda let him be as he explored his new cage and toys, then I fed him some of the hand feeding formula (breeder said to offer it at night as a comfort thing) and then put him in his smaller sleep cage for the night. I can't wait for you all to meet him!!
murfchck Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 Yeah!! I am so excited for you both! What a wonderful, exciting start to the rest of your lives!
JeffNOK Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 I waited to go to bed so I could read that Maverick made it home and is doing well. Glad it went well on his first night with you!
Ray P Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 And now the adventure begins. Welcome home Maverick !!
katana600 Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 Omigoodness what a wonderful homecoming for Maverick. It sounds like he has had a great start in life. You must be just tickled pink. I am glad you had snuggles and such a happy first night. Welcome home Maverick.
kins2321@yahoo.com Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 Welcome Maverick! I got a kick out of members here and your new parent. The excitement was contagious! We wish to formally welcome you from our family. Nancy,Ryan,Sean,Sophie,Kiki,Sunny,Ollie and Zoey. The Hunts.
BeeFernandez22 Posted August 12, 2012 Author Posted August 12, 2012 Thank you so much, everyone!! It is so good to be able to share in the excitement with all of you, knowing that you guys all know exactly where I am coming from. This is such a great group. I am sure I will have TONS of questions and it is so comforting to know you all are here! Today Mr. Maverick was a little more stand-off-ish than last night but I expected that. He is still getting used to all of the new surroundings and people. He LOVES mirrors, I discovered, as he sat on his sleep cage by a dresser mirror this morning. So funny.. he kept looking at himself and then would get his beak all the way up to the glass. He has never been by himself before, so I am not sure if he thought it was another bird or if he realized it was himself. Here are a few pics to share with you all, as promised!! The first one is his car ride home!! The other two are from this afternoon
Timbersmom Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 What a little beauty! Thanks for sharing the pics and his first adventures with us Good questions about the mirror. Since Timber is stepping up now I've been walking around the house with him. When we come to a mirror I let him look. He doesn't seem attracted or repelled, just stares. I always point and say "there's Timber in the mirror" but I never know what he thinks.
Life is Greyt Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 OMG I love his name!! Too cute!! The first noises they Chickie made when I got her home were those very same kissy noises!! Too funny!! Georgia gives the babies so much love and kisses that they must all do it
judygram Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 He is just cute as a button and yes it will take him some time to settle into his new home but it looks like it is going well, keep us informed.
BeeFernandez22 Posted August 14, 2012 Author Posted August 14, 2012 Well he is already proving to be a spoiled little brat Has a hissy fit if he is in his cage and knows I am here..lol. We ATTEMPTED bath time tonight and boy he hated it. I am not sure how to tackle that one. He is also being EXTREMELY picky about his food. I am hoping it is still just because he is adjusting and a couple foods have been new. He is just such a joy, though! While in his cage, he really doesn't play with any of his toys.. is this normal?
Wingy Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 Eat with him and give him bites off your plate (or a plate he thinks is yours). I was worried about the same things with Jake but he is coming around.
