Empress Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Hello to you all! I have just been to see a bird today. His name is Rocky. He doesn't have papers, but he was a real sport and straight away came to me. The owner was quiet amazed, as he is normally a very shy bird. He stepped up, he went to my shoulder, he gave me kissies and lovebites. I obviously straight away fell in love and put the deposit down on him. I unfortunately cannot pick him up before January as i am leaving the country for 2 weeks at Xmas and it wont be fair on the bird. So now it is just a waiting game for me... Eager to get my baby, but cannot snuggle him for an another month and a half! This is a real killer! So please if you have any advice you want to share with a first time mum, feel free to do so! Btw he is already 5 years old. Thanks Kinga Post edited by: Empress, at: 2008/11/20 22:39 Post edited by: Empress, at: 2008/11/20 22:43 Post edited by: Empress, at: 2008/11/20 22:48<br><br>Post edited by: Empress, at: 2008/11/20 23:09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patsy Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Congrats to you and Rocky. You are obviously his choice. As far as for photos, I can't advise as I always mess it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

judygram Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 I can hear your excitement and this day has been a long time coming, I remember when you posted earlier this year about wanting a grey and your bf didn't want you to have one. Well you made the best decision and now you have made a deposit on a grey and I couldn't be happier. Now comes the hard part, waiting for that day you finally can bring Rocky home, it will seem like forever but trust me it will be soon and then we want to hear all about him. He looks like a nice chap sitting on that perch, you must be so proud of him, thanks for sharing a pic with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeatherStrella Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 He doesn't have papers, but he was a real sport and straight away came to me. What do you mean by 'papers'? Congrats on getting your new baby!! I'd probably cancel my trip just to bring him home earlier...lol. But then again, I'm NOT a traveler what-so-ever. I'm sure he'll be happy to see you when you get back...and you'll be nice and rested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tycos_mom Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 He's beautiful He's going tp bring you tons of joy. Sounds like he picked you to be his new mom right from the moment he met you this is a great sign. Tyco did the same thing with me. that was just over a year ago. i couldn't pet her or step her up for awhile after I brought her home but now she is the best bird. she cuddle and loves scritches she steps up when ever i ask her too. i'm so glad I got her. I'm sure your going to feel the same way also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Empress Posted November 22, 2008 Author Share Posted November 22, 2008 Thank you all for your kind words! I wish i wouldnt have xmas booked, but than again, i will be with my family for the first time in 5 years for xmas, so it will be good! Trust me, i cannot wait till the trip is over and i will be able to get him home and start a new healthy diet, good training and loads of love and cuddling with him. I want to ask the owner to take him to a wet beforehand though, just in case and for him to have some kind of paperwork that can be transferred over to me. (btw i mean he has no paperwork period. I am not even sure he is a boy...) I hope i will be able to go and see him again before that, but that is up to the owner. He seemed quiet nice though, and the only reason he is getting rid of him is that he has a new human baby and Rocky is fast learning baby cries lol and that he has not enough time to spend with him no more! Anyhow, if you have any further comments i am more than happy to read them! ))) Very Happy Mum! Kinga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
she Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 I have no Paper work for Charlie and it did worry me a bit at first He turned out to be fantastic . He was I was told 7 months when I got him but who knows.I would not worry too much about it. It would be a good idea to have him checked by the vet,for your piece of mind.

Ina Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 I am glad that you are getting your grey, xmas may seems far but it goes pass quick and then you are together.

oppie Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Hi, Kinga, I'm in the same boat you're in with waiting for waiting for your baby to come home. My baby, Spencer, will be able to come home next week (Thanksgiving), but Dotty and I are going to Wisconsin Dec 22, and coming home Jan 7. Like you, I decided to keep him where he is until we come home. I couldn't see bringing him home for less than a month, having go to another strange place, then back here in a few weeks. It seems like it will be 10 years before he'll be here We just have to hang in there! Ralph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empress Posted November 22, 2008 Author Share Posted November 22, 2008 I am feeling with you, Ralph! It will be like 10 years to wait for our babies! But it will be worth the while, i am sure! Ina, how can you tell if it is a girl or a boy? I thought they have to be DNA tested to find that out...??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
