M'sBabies Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 We are getting ready to head out for the final leg of the trip. He was awesome on the trip. I had the music on low and was singing (Which I apologized for several times) and he just sat on his perch most of the time making little noises. He managed to pull the newspaper through the grate so I had to stop and fix it but he kept doing it so I just took the paper out. They made me promise not to take him out of the carrier at the hotel but he's not talking yet and I'm not telling. lol He ate like a champ. I made the hand feeding formula a little thicker, kind of like oatmeal and fed him with a spoon which he tried to steal several times. He did get a good bite in but it was my fault because he was sitting on the perch on top of the carrier and I had my back turned and I heard this gust of wind and turned quick to catch him but he didn't feel secure and grabbed on to steady himself. YOW! lol I didn't react but I have a nice black/blue mark. He is sooo sweet. He already has me wrapped around his little wing. He goes to the Vet on Tuesday. We'll be home in about 5 hours and I can't wait to show him his cage and toys.
Ray P Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 Sounds like your off to a great start. We will look for your update.
Talon Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 What an exciting un experience ! Thanks for the update, can't wait to hear more. Sounds like he has your heart already for sure!
Mema Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 Have you named him yet? He is adorable!! I am STILL waiting for my baby to be fully weaned so I can bring him home.
Luvparrots Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 What a great start with your new grey. Had to smile was I remember my bringing my first grey home almost 5 years ago. Waiting patiently to see some pictures.
kins2321@yahoo.com Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 Everything sounds great! Can't wait to here more. Nancy and Sophie
M'sBabies Posted June 17, 2013 Author Posted June 17, 2013 (edited) Well, he seems right at home in his new cage. I gave him some more hand feeding formula and now he is in his food bowl and hasn't left it for about 10 minutes. We are a tired bunch but so happy to have him home. Time for a little cuddle time then it's bedtime for the baby and Mommy too. Thank You everyone. I will post pictures soon. We are between two names and neither of us will give in so it's either Phoenix (Me) or Zeus (Hubby). I think I might win. lol Edited June 17, 2013 by M'sBabies
Luvparrots Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 (edited) I like Phoenix so I hope you get to name your cute grey! Looking forward to seeing some pics when the time is right! Edited June 17, 2013 by luvparrots
Ray P Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 (edited) Both are great names and they have that air about them of strength and nobility. Edited June 17, 2013 by Ray P
danmcq Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 Sounds like a good trip and landing in your home with feeling safe in your care. I hope the naming process comes out peacefully with out any drama.
M'sBabies Posted June 17, 2013 Author Posted June 17, 2013 He is a little monkey. This morning when I took the cover off the cage he was all the way at the top on his boing. It made me nervous. We put a couple of perches low and kind of made a ladder so it would make it easier for him but nope he loves that boing. He eats soo well. I gave him more of the hand feeding food and this time I put a little bit of organic sweet potato baby food in it and he loved it. I make it almost like an oatmeal and feed him with a spoon which he is constantly trying to steal. He is also eating Zupreem Natural and I will slowly switch him to Harrisons. He is just over 3 months old and I was wondering if it was too early to start him on whole vegetables. I have some sweet potato's, broccoli and brown rice and have to go shopping tomorrow so I will get more. He is such a sweetheart and I am thrilled with how well he has adjusted so far.
katana600 Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 So glad to hear you are home and partially rested. Decisions decisions on the naming rights. If you live with him a week or two and see what name fits him best, that might solve the dilemma. Or write both names on a slip of paper. Put them down and whichever one he picks up first, he chooses his own name. If that doesn't work.... then whoever has naming rights is agreeing to clean up his droppings for ever after. LOL. Welcome to the forum Phoenix. LOL. Just kidding there.
judygram Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 By all means offer him some vegetables, he should be nibbling at them now and the earlier you introduce them to him the better but that is great he is accepting of whatever you give him, we all love a good eater.
kins2321@yahoo.com Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 GREAT to hear all the positive progress! Good luck with the name. Nancy
chezron Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 Glad to hear the trip is going well. My guys LOVE to ride in the car. Maybe put some newspaper IN his cage so he can shred it. It will give him something to do.
