reptoman Posted March 24, 2015 Author Share Posted March 24, 2015 New pictures of Zoe! She is really starting to get some nice feathers. The breeder tells me she is very affectionate and loves to listen to them talk to her. I can't wait to see her in person! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timbersmom Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 She's so sweet! It's great to get those pics for sure, but I'll bet it just adds to your desire to get your hands on her! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kins2321@yahoo.com Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 She is SOOOOO cute!!!! I just love looking at her progression! My pup was named Zoey. BEST dog ever! Excellent name choice. Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRSeedBurners Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 How old is the baby now? Hard to believe she'll be ready in less than a month! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reptoman Posted April 1, 2015 Author Share Posted April 1, 2015 She hatched 02/06/15 so almost 2 months. I hope its within a month. Lea at the aviary told me that she would be fully fledged by the time we take her home so it might be longer. I am not sure how quickly they get to that point.

JeffNOK Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 They tend to fledge at about 10 weeks, so it is coming soon. The weaning will take longer 12-16 weeks or more. But the end is in sight and a homecoming party will be in order very soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reptoman Posted April 2, 2015 Author Share Posted April 2, 2015 I have reworked my chameleon cages so that I have a semi dedicated room for Zoe's cage and 3x5 table that I plan to use for training/toys and interaction time initially. I have plans to build an aviary out back and will hopefully have that completed before she gets here. I have seen dozens of videos on preparing parrot chop and other soft foods and many more about training and toys etc. I have completed my 2nd african grey book and will likely buy a 3rd (e-book this time) and complete before she gets here. I have so much reading knowledge but almost no real experience so I hope to see more greys in person before she gets here. I need to make it out to Sterlings place to see the crew and his awesome aviary since he is just up the street. With all of this preparation I am sure there will still be something that I missed but I hope to be as ready as possible! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbersmom Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 You will be as well prepared as you can be! That is great. I imagine it is like bringing your first human baby home. You read everything, make all your preparations, and they still manage to throw you a curve. Your preparations will give you a big head start though, in giving your baby a long, healthy, happy life. I wish I had been that prepared when I rehomed Timber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reptoman Posted April 2, 2015 Author Share Posted April 2, 2015 Thanks JeffNOK. We are getting her from OKC so nearly as far as Tulsa from us. It will be worth the 4 hour drive for sure. The only other possible Timneh was in Gore OK but the eggs never hatched. They are difficult to find without having them shipped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reptoman Posted April 7, 2015 Author Share Posted April 7, 2015 We got the new pics a little earlier tonight. She is really filling in nicely! Lea says she is starting to interact well and they are working on the step up command. Won't be long now..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murfchck Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 What a cutie pie! Ummm, Sterling? Babysitting huh? I am pretty close so when ever you need a fix, come on over. I sure could use a day off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reptoman Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share Posted April 14, 2015 Monday update pictures of Zoe! She is starting to look like a Timneh African Grey! I got an estimate of 4 to 5 weeks before we pick her up. Super excited! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
