cf737 Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Well, it's been a long time coming with this tough decision for me but last week I made it final. I decided to go take a look at a few of the breeder's babies and took a day to do so. It seems I found the one! The second breeder I went to had nine babies (the most they've had in fifteen years!) - three Congos and six Timnehs. After my research I decided a Timneh was the way to go. I held the three youngest babies and although all of them were absolute sweethearts, I knew my baby as soon as I held him. He's just over 5 weeks old now and I will be taking him home in 2 months. I don't know how I'll wait that long! I've been to visit him 3 times in the past 5 days and am suffering from baby withdrawal. Sorry about the picture quality - my boyfriend didn't want to use flash! So here he is - baby Darwin. <br><br>Post edited by: cf737, at: 2009/02/03 04:48 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sallas Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I am not sure if you already have a cage and toys and other parrot necessities, but this would give you time to acquire those items and get everything set up and ready for the baby to move in.

cf737 Posted February 4, 2009 Author Share Posted February 4, 2009 Thank you all for your wonderful replies! I am going to see him again tomorrow - camera in hand, of course! Although the two months will be a long time to wait, I am very happy to have it. I will have plenty of time to get everything set up for little Darwin's homecoming, as Sallas mentioned. As long as pictures are welcome, I will have plenty and will keep posting them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cf737 Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 The first thing little Darwin ate was one of the pellets I think you can see in the third photo from the top....a little red fruit flavored pellet. The breeder wasn't sure if he'd take it but I held it between my fingers and he took it right from me. It took him a while to figure out what to do with it and to soften it up but he broke it, ate it, looked up and me and continued his little chirps.
