paleale Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Love the one of them all covered in wood chips! Looks like a New Year's Eve Baby Grey party!
lindasagiuchi Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Your baby looks to be the same age as mine right now. Aren't they adorable at this stage?
Pixburgh29 Posted January 8, 2013 Author Posted January 8, 2013 Yes they are! Their personalities are really showing now. When was yours hatched?
Timbersmom Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 What neat pics! Love those babies... thanks for sharing
danmcq Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 I just can get enough of checking out baby grey aging photos. Thanks for sharing these.
Ray P Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 I think its all been said, We love baby pictures.
judygram Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 What adorable babies, keep em coming as we never get enough.
Pixburgh29 Posted January 15, 2013 Author Posted January 15, 2013 Added two week 7 photos, it's amazing the change one week can bring.
Spinner Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 Can't get enough baby grey pics! Thanks for sharing.
Pixburgh29 Posted January 22, 2013 Author Posted January 22, 2013 Added pictures from our visit this sunday. Baby is now 8 weeks old & growing like a weed. We visited right before lunch time so everything looked like the syringe . We find out the sex this week, can't wait!
paleale Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 Cute cute cute!!! So do you know the sex yet?
danmcq Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 Love these updates. Is your grey growling at you in the photo where it seems to be cowering with beak wide open?
Pixburgh29 Posted January 29, 2013 Author Posted January 29, 2013 (edited) It was making a noise but I don't know if it was a growl, never heard one growl before. It was bobbing its head up and down at my finger while making the noise. I don't think I could describe the sound in words though. I uploaded a video to YouTube that we took during our visit. It makes the same noise right at 14-15 seconds in. Let me know if that's a growl. I hope not, it seemed very willing and curious to play... paleale, no not yet unfortunately. The breeder took the DNA but we got hit with some real bad weather and delayed it getting mailed out. Hopefully we'll know THIS week. I'm so impatient for something that won't matter to us either way lol. The breeder and hubby are betting its a boy due to size but who knows. Edited January 29, 2013 by Pixburgh29
danmcq Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Thanks for the video, it says it all. That is a little baby sound that will go away as your baby becomes older. I miss that endearing sound. Believe me, you will know a growl or scream when you here one. African grey growl: African grey screams:
Pixburgh29 Posted February 7, 2013 Author Posted February 7, 2013 (edited) Photos are up of our visit from last sunday. I also added 2 short videos that we took while we were there. DNA was mailed over night yesterday morning so we should know within days what our baby is! Can't wait. Update: DNA is back and it's a boy!! Edited February 7, 2013 by Pixburgh29
Pixburgh29 Posted February 12, 2013 Author Posted February 12, 2013 Added new pictures and videos from our 11 week visit with our little boy. Lots of new stuff happened during this visit. We introduced his travel carrier for the first time, he took to it wonderfully and ventured inside very quickly. Our next big surprise came when he took his very first flight! The breeder said that he had been stretching his wings a lot and flapping but never lifted off up until that point. It was amazing to see, although his landing was much to be desired. We decided to once again express to our breeder that we wanted him fully flighted, she was happy to accommodate our request. Due to him being so open to the new changes and now starting to fledge, we tried to push our luck a bit with introducing his harness and leash as well this week. We weren't disappointed, he was highly interested and we even got it on him while he sat there so patiently, allowing us to manipulate his wings (we were pretty clumsy, being new to the aviator as well so his patience was very much appreciated!).
paleale Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 What a good boy!!! Love seeing the pictures! He's a cutie. And very smart!
katana600 Posted May 12, 2013 Posted May 12, 2013 Today was my first time to look through all these posts and beautiful baby pictures. Congratulations on your new baby boy. I love the pale toenail and his little pink tongue. He is uniquely marked, you probably never had to check his band to be sure he was yours. I know it has been said before, but gosh I love these baby pictures.
