chimaysmommy Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 I'm SO sorry for not posting yesterday, we were just busy trying to make sure that Chimay settled in well. And as it turns out we didn't have anything to worry about! Our breeder CLEARLY socialized him very well, and he has no fear of toys. ANY toy. He's played with every single thing put in front of him, and responded very well when we had some unexpected company today. Our best friend's 8 year old son was able to pet him, and he loves my mom as well. My mom had told me not to be worried if he doesn't eat a lot in his first few days as he adjusts to his new surroundings. I can't even begin to tell you how much he is NOT reluctant to eat. Ha ha!! He has been quite the little piglet since he got here and has no problems with food (so far). He swings on his rope perch with a lot of confidence, and is starting to discover the magic of hanging upside down from his hanging toys. Lol! Here's a pic of our new baby boy!
lovethatgrey Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 That is so wonderful to hear. I really enjoy knowing that good and responsible breeders exist. Kudos to the breeder who gave you your Chimay!
judygram Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 Thanks for the wonderful update and the picture too, I think most baby greys take to new surroundings very quickly, now as he matures expect things to be a little different.
Eckobird Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 Awwww that is sooo good that Chimay is doing so well!! What a cute picture of him also! Thanks so much for the update, we were all anxiously waiting! haha
BaxtersMom Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 Congradulations. It sounds as if Chimay has made himself quite at home. That is great news. By the sounds of how he is acting you are going to have loads of fun with him.
Tycos_mom Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 Ah that is so good he's a very handsome grey I might add. sounds like your going to have a wonderful time with your baby. Thats so great.
Luvparrots Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 Wow Chimay is a very fine looking grey. He seems to have a lot of confidence. Can't wait to hear more about his settling in!!!
danmcq Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 Congratulations Chimaysmom!! What a beautifuly birdy Chimay is! :-) It's good to hear all went so well and your all having high 5's and lots of interaction. Looking forward to hearing more of Chimay!!
chimaysmommy Posted March 23, 2009 Author Posted March 23, 2009 Thanks for all of the well wishes everyone! Chimay is still doing fantastically, and he's already learned "step up"!! I can't believe he's already learned it so well. It was certainly funny trying to teach him...each time we offered him our hand and said "step up" he would bend over for a neck-tickle. Ha ha! But he's very proficient at it now, and when my mom visited him yesterday she noticed that he sometimes lets out two clicks right after I say the words "step up." She thinks he might already be trying to imitate the phrase! Well we had our first food-flinging contest this morning with his breakfast of oatmeal, apples, and mandarin oranges. Lol! I even got a little oatmeal flung onto my shirt. Not the first time I'm sure, and certainly not the last. Lol!
Eckobird Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 Aww that is so cute! I can't believe how fast Chimay is adjusting with you guys! That is great news! Thanks for keeping us updated on his progress!
ranaz Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 Congratulations on your baby and so glad that hes adjusting well...your sweet journey has begun and every day is a new experience for both you and the bird...enjoy it and dont forget to keep posting pictures. {Nature-00020095}{Nature-00020095}
Lyric Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 Chimay is beautiful! Glad to hear you got him home alright and he's settling in nicely. More pics please!!
Luvparrots Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 Sounds like Chimay has made himself right at home. Can't wait to see more pictures and hear how him is doing.
sue09 Posted April 5, 2009 Posted April 5, 2009 Chimay is just beautiful!! It is great that he is adjusting so well. I'm sure you will have a fantastic life together and look forward to hearing all the news and seeing pics.
Acappella Posted April 5, 2009 Posted April 5, 2009 Glad to hear things are going so smoothly. Chimay will be running your home and your life in no time (if he isn't already:laugh: )
aglover09 Posted April 5, 2009 Posted April 5, 2009 maybe the clicking noise was because he was trained by the breeder with a clicker???? just a thought i know lots of people use them for training....
chimaysmommy Posted April 6, 2009 Author Posted April 6, 2009 It's official!! We got the DNA test back from the vet and Chimay is a boy! I am SO relieved b/c we've been calling him such a "good boy" since he came home. Ha ha!
Luvparrots Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 Congratulations Chimaysmommy on your baby boy!!!!
Lyric Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 It's official, congratulations on your baby boy birdie!!
