Char Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 My baby had his first check-up today and she said he looked wonderful! We did the DNA and next week we will know if it is really Simon or Simone. The vet thinks it is a boy. I think it is a girl. We will see who is right next week.
danmcq Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 Thats wonderful news Char. Can't wait to hear the DNA results! :-)
lovemyGreys Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 Pleased to hear everything went well char.We look forward to the results on simon/simone Please keep us updated.
judygram Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 Glad to hear it went well and I am betting it is a Simone, I have a gut feeling but then I have been known to be wrong:blink: B)
siobha9 Posted April 19, 2008 Posted April 19, 2008 Well you have a 50% chance of being right Judy... dont be so hard on yourself :laugh:
casper Posted April 19, 2008 Posted April 19, 2008 Thats great news you must be really pleased. Cant wait to hear the results. I will go with Simon.
judygram Posted April 19, 2008 Posted April 19, 2008 Well Caroline thinks its going to be Simon, I guess we will see, one of us will be right and one will be wrong, could be me as I have been wrong before.:laugh:
Char Posted April 19, 2008 Author Posted April 19, 2008 Thanks guys for your interest. I got a note from the vet today that said the lab work will be back in a few days but that the DNA could take up to 30 days.:unsure: The vet said that the reason she thinks he is a male is because of red around his you know thing? And also because his tail feathers are such a vivid red. I am going to get some pics up this weekend. Things have just been so hectic the last few days.
judygram Posted April 19, 2008 Posted April 19, 2008 Hmmmmm, Caroline has the edge right now, maybe it is a Simon after all, oh well time will tell.:blink: :huh:
Char Posted May 8, 2008 Author Posted May 8, 2008 I finally have a few minutes to post an update. It turns out that Simon is indeed a girl. I knew it all along.:laugh: We did not care for the name Simone so her new name is now "Whisper". She is now 5 months old and we are getting to know each other. She loves to be near us and puts her head down for scratches. She has learned many different whistles and copies some of the bird sounds she hears outside. Also mimics the squeeking of the door. She seems very well socialized and nothing seems to bother her too much. We have exposed her to lots of different people and noises. I make her toys myself and it is such a great feeling to come home and find she has destroyed the toys and stuff in her cage. I then have to start over again.:laugh: She does require a lot of attention and keeps us very busy but we enjoy it.
judygram Posted May 8, 2008 Posted May 8, 2008 Oh boy, my gut instincts were correct, it is a girl and I like that name Whisper, she sounds like an absolute dream, thanks for letting us know and for the update.
danmcq Posted May 8, 2008 Posted May 8, 2008 Hi Char - Thanks for the wonderful update on Whisper AKA Simon. ;-) It sounds like you are enjoying each other immensely. Looking forward to hearing more and seeing some photos. :-)
lovemyGreys Posted May 8, 2008 Posted May 8, 2008 congrats, a little girl & a lovely name you have given her,please be sure to keep us updated on Whisper.
casper Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 Okay Judy, the drinks are on me! Did I say Simon? I meant to say Simone. Lol. Whisper is a great name, congratulations on your baby girl
