BMustee Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 We just got this little guy into the store today. He's about 4 weeks old and will be coming home with me part of the week and home with Steph (my boss) the other part of the week. Look at those feet...too CUTE!
siobha9 Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 You do know how exceptionally lucky you are to have a job like this dont you? He is absolutely adorable
judygram Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 What an adorable baby Berna, you do have the best job, how great is that you bring home the babies to feed and love on, my problem is I wouldn't want to give them up. Thanks for sharing that cute little bugger with us.
BMustee Posted September 26, 2008 Author Posted September 26, 2008 oh I know! I just wished it paid better, but to tell you the truth I would do this job for free. I'm going to be on pins and needles with this guy though. Greenwings are prone to infections and bacteria so I'm going to a disinfecting nut while he's here!:laugh:
lovemyGreys Posted September 27, 2008 Posted September 27, 2008 He is cute Berna,how do you not become to emotionally attached to them ? I know i would
DUKEdevils36 Posted September 27, 2008 Posted September 27, 2008 Curious....why are greenwings prone infections and bacteria?
BMustee Posted September 27, 2008 Author Posted September 27, 2008 Dukedevil - They just are. Same with the Hyacinth Macaws...very sensitive to sudamonus. Some birds are just more susceptible to things as others. I get attached, believe me. I don't know how I don't fall apart when they sell. Well, I think I would be inconsolable if Ethel got sold or something happened to Pattie and Sasha.
Suzzique Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 It's amazing how small they start out! He is so cute! Keep us posted with pictures!
judygram Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 I didn't know that greenwings and the hyacinth macaws are more susceptible to infections and such and they are the more expensive of the parrots and maybe that is why, they are beautiful but not for me, I admire from a safe distance.
Toni Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 awww very cute baby.You're lucky to do that. Yea have to see pics of his growing stages before someone takes him home. At least 3 months maybe 4
casper Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 Such a cutie! Keep us posted with pics, cant wait to see how quickly this little one grows! You are so lucky to enjoy your job so much, I wish I could swap with you:)
BMustee Posted September 29, 2008 Author Posted September 29, 2008 I'll be taking LOTS of pictures. I love it when we get babies at this age because you really see the whole process of growing up.
Luvparrots Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 You are so lucky to be able to help raise all the baby birds you do. Your knowledge is invaluable to the forum. We are so lucky. Please keep us informed on the Greenwing{Feel-good-000200BB}
Tycos_mom Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 That baby is sooooo cute. You have a great job but there is no way I could do it I'd want to keep them all. The people that buy them would get the 3rd degree and would have to be perfect parronts or
Tycos_mom Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 That baby is sooooo cute. You have a great job but there is no way I could do it I'd want to keep them all. The people that buy them would get the 3rd degree and would have to be perfect parronts or they would not be walking out of the store with any bird I raised. Or any bird for that matter.I'd probubly be fired the first day. I'd be talking people out of buying birds and telling them to buy a nice kitten or a gold fish something thats easy to take care of.LOL Karma to you for what you do.
Tycos_mom Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 Oh ya lots of pictures please.<br><br>Post edited by: Tycos_mom, at: 2008/09/29 17:22

BMustee Posted October 9, 2008 Author Posted October 9, 2008 Here are some new pics I took of the baby the other day. I cant believe how big he is...he weighs 900g!!! Thats more than a Hyacinth baby would at his age!!! We all think he is going to be a FULL size Greenwing.
Suzzique Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 He is so cute! He is going to be one big bird when he is all grown up!
