paleale Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 (edited) Were you able to choose your Grey? If so, how did you choose? :confused: I thought I'd made a decision between the two babies, but after the last two visits, I'm leaning towards the other baby. My breeder isn't putting pressure on me at all to pick one or the other, but I'd like to give her a decision. Originally I'd chosen "Baby #2". He or she has a white toenail and the breeder mentioned there is a possibility the baby is a red factor. I understand this is only a possibility, but it definitely interested me. He or she also seemed to be the calmer of the two. My last two visits I've found I spend a lot of time with "Baby #1". He or she is very sweet and today the baby cuddled on my chest for at least 10 minutes, nuzzled right against my neck. Now I'm thinking this is my baby! I'm very lucky that the family of the other baby is indifferent towards the CAG they end up with. They live out of town and unfortunately don't have the chance to visit as I do. Our breeder is sending DNA off tomorrow to determine the sex of the babies. She thinks maybe that will help me come to a final decision, but I really don't think I have a preference between male or female. I'm not normally so indecisive. It's a huge commitment and I want to make the right decision. Here they are from my visit today... You can even see Baby #2's little white toenail!: After dinner video: Edited January 2, 2013 by paleale I screwed up the video link! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingy Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 My guy came from a "pet" store that caters only to birds and their needs. I had a choice between 2 CAGS and a TAG. I choose based on personality. My little guy ran up and knocked over 2 larger and a bit older CAGS to get to me. As time went on I would watch the webcam and saw that he would bully his way to the front of the tank to interact with people when ever anyone showed interest in that baby tank. That solidified my choice that he was the right one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Awwwwwww, babies are always so cute with their crops full and lack of feathers. We visited the breeders when the two clutches they had were 5 and 6 weeks old respectively. We waited for one to "Pick" us and interacted with them all two to three times a week. Once they were around 10 weeks old, two would come running and calling to us for attention and interaction. We chose one out of the two. Actually, we first took both home ( we had already named them dayo and leah) because it broke our hearts to think about leaving one there of the two. However after getting them both home, one was not fully weaned it turned out and lost 30 grams in 24 hours, so we took her (leah) back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiracleAces Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Hehe. I had two females to choose from. One CAG stepped up and wanted to be a part of everything happening in the aviary. The second sat in the basket, growled the entire time while the other one kept pooping on her from above. I took the happier, cleaner one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray P Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 We did not pick our grey, She picked us. The very first time she saw us she ran up the wife`s arm and pooped on her shoulder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I did not choose my grey, she was picked for me by a bird friend and she picked the one like she was picking for herself, she handfed her until she was ready to come home but I would like to think she would have picked me if it had been possible.

Luvparrots Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 My TAG picked me and my CAG was the only one available at the time. I am very happy with both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ The Grey Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 When i heard there was a new Clutch at the breeder i immediately went down to pick one out. there were three to choose from. i played with #1 for awhile, and then #2 chose me. so then for the next few months i returned to bond and play with the CAG. I was very happy when he was weened and ready to come home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielaWelborn Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I got Jellybean off of Craigslist. I tried to find a bird shelter and adopt one, but this is El Paso. I figured I give it time, patience and we will get along. So far we are making progress.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelseaB Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I started visiting my breeders babies at about 2 weeks old & had the choice of 2. At first I was leaning to baby #1 because she ( didn't know the sex then ) seemed more alert & intrested in what was going on. After a couple visits it became obvious that the other ( male ) had chosen me! I was thrilled because I didn't care what the sex was ( still didn't know at this time ) and I knew that this baby wanted to be with me, so I chose him. Every time I visited,until he was ready to come home, he would spend his whole time hanging with me. I am so glad that Biscotti chose me! I would really lean toward a baby that chooses you! <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
