Ronda477 Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 Yes I have to agree I know soo well how excited you are! I was waiting for our SweetHeart and we have had her now for 4 months. We are now getting a baby Goffin Cockatoo in the beginning of April maybe end of March and we just can't wait! It's still exciting lol.
Imme Posted February 29, 2008 Author Posted February 29, 2008 Raposa, I estimate I will be bringing home my Grey on April 5 or so. That's only two weeks apart .
MommaFawkes Posted February 29, 2008 Posted February 29, 2008 Your baby is adorable!! Congrats!:silly:
judygram Posted February 29, 2008 Posted February 29, 2008 All these new members getting new grey babies is just so sweet, it makes me want a baby, nah, not going there right now but we want to see them as soon as possible.
Ronda477 Posted February 29, 2008 Posted February 29, 2008 I know! Like I said they are addictive! I am getting a baby and I still want another one! lol
Raposa Posted February 29, 2008 Posted February 29, 2008 I'm jealous, I want to go get mine TODAY! lol But I'll go visit her on Saturday and get a "fix." It is a 2 hour drive to visit her so I can't get there all that often
Ronda477 Posted February 29, 2008 Posted February 29, 2008 Well I don't blame you with the gas prices the way they are! My baby is 4 hours away! I haven't seen him yet except for all the photos my breeder sends me all the time along with a few videos of him! Which is very nice!
MommaFawkes Posted February 29, 2008 Posted February 29, 2008 Awwww I have four baby birds here right now...3 cockatiels and a lovebird...but I want a baby grey so bad!!! You guys put scams in my head...hmmm how to manage that...LOL!
Raposa Posted February 29, 2008 Posted February 29, 2008 Videos, how cool is that??? Wendy sends me at least one photo a week, but that's about it. Here's this week's photo; Jenna is the baby in the back. The little boy in the front is Maverick, a VERY sweet, friendly, BIG baby bird with a huge appetite Hehehe His owner got the same picture!
Raposa Posted February 29, 2008 Posted February 29, 2008 Oh heck, how much trouble could just ONE more baby bird be? ~falls over laughing, thinking of when her eclectus was a baby and all the trouble he was good at getting into~
Imme Posted February 29, 2008 Author Posted February 29, 2008 Jenna is a beautiful bird. Looks like she is coming along just fine. I too am thinking of heading out there this weekend, about an hour and a half drive away for me.
Ronda477 Posted March 1, 2008 Posted March 1, 2008 Yes I have to say the videos are very cool! I get them from the breeder I'm going through now actually for our Goffin Cockatoo. She's on here actually now. TheFeatherHut. She is awesome! But Wendy was great on sending the pics every week for updates, but I have to say the videos and live cams cause I can't get to where she is at is just awesome! What a gorgeous baby Jenna is! Your probably a very happy Mommy!
danmcq Posted March 1, 2008 Posted March 1, 2008 Great photo of Jenna, Raposa. When do you get to bring her home? I'll bet your getting anxious. :-)
Imme Posted March 2, 2008 Author Posted March 2, 2008 Well, we did the drive again today (1 1/2 hours each way) to go visit the grey and toke some more picutres. She said he is 12 weeks old and would be ready to go in about 3 weeks. What do you guys think? Is that too soon (I've heard it should be 16 weeks)? Does he look to be 12 weeks old here? I also had my first bite today, ouch! That's smarts. Right on the tip of my finger. Drew a little blood too, but glad to get it over and done with as now at least I know what it can be like (sometimes the imagination can be worse).
Imme Posted March 2, 2008 Author Posted March 2, 2008 Still have troubles posting pictures, but learning. How do you put more then one picture in a post? I use the Image select at the bottom but only allows me to do one at a time?
Imme Posted March 2, 2008 Author Posted March 2, 2008 Third times a charm posting this thing, right, LOL.
Imme Posted March 2, 2008 Author Posted March 2, 2008 Here I'm feeding him a peanut, messy eater, hehe.
Imme Posted March 2, 2008 Author Posted March 2, 2008 And he likes to snuggle too. He kept putting his whole head into the crook of my arm, here he had just pulled his head out again. Oh, I hadn't seen him in two weeks (and only that time before) and the breeder told me to try to pick him out of 12 birds to see if I could refind him. After a couple of minutes I said I had it down to two of them and even of those two which would be my first choice. The first choice was him B) .
Raposa Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 She's not coming home until mid April . . . ~chews off all her fingernails and starts on the toes~ I am trying to visit her once a week so she is at least familiar with me, but it is a long drive . . . Meanwhile I am haunting the forums and the internet and overloading on books about parrots and buying her toys and such ~laughs~ I'll even be rearranging my living room to give her a better location for her cage
Raposa Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 Oh, he is such a beautiful baby!!! Jenna will be 18 weeks old when I (finally) bring her home. I went to visit her this weekend, too ~beams~ She was a bit shy of me at first but she warmed up after I'd been there for a little while, and we had some lovely cuddle time before I had to leave
Imme Posted March 4, 2008 Author Posted March 4, 2008 Raposa, Sorry to hear about Jenna's arrival having to be delayed. I hope the biting if her toenails and toes fixes up. That does not sound very good. Hope everything works out for you.
judygram Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 Imme, those are some good pics of your baby and if you think he is a messy eater then you got a treat in store for you, you ain't seen nothing yet.:laugh: I think Raposa was just being a little dramatic, I don't think she was saying her baby was chewing off its toes, she meant that she was chewing her fingernails off in anticipation of waiting to bring her baby home.
Raposa Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 ~grins~ Thanks, Imme! I am SO eager for her to come home!
Raposa Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 OH Hehehe I did not realize Imme thought JENNA was chewing off her fingers and toes! Hehehehehe No, it's me, I am climbing the walls waiting for her!
