baileyB Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Hi! My name is Nancy. I live in Texas. My Timneh just hatched! I have been reading several forums in preparation but by far this site is the best! I won't get my baby until mid-September. Seems like a long time but I know it will pass fast. This is my first parrot. It has taken many years to reach this point....getting a parrot of my own....and I am ready. I will spend the summer getting ready for Bailey and will have lots of questions. Thanks for so much good info! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joolesgreyuk Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Ah, welcome Nancy. You will find all the answers you need on here and if you don't there are so many knowledgeable members who will be able to help you. Getting your own grey for the first time is a really exciting time and it seems you have plenty of time to get prepared for it. The time will go quite quickly and your baby will be with you before you know it. BTW You are quite right, this is by far the best AG forum.

Lyric Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Hi Nancy, welcome to the forum. Can't wait to hear more about your new baby and see some pictures when you get some. I highly recommend the book "For the Love of Greys" by Bobbi Brinker for any new grey owner. When you think of some questions just let us know!

baileyB Posted May 17, 2009 Author Share Posted May 17, 2009 Thanks! Yes, I live close enough to visit. I went this morning and got a peek but that mama was not going to let me see anything. She has 3 babies and she was not having anybody see them. I can start visiting my baby at 6 weeks. The baby will be DNA sexed, completely weaned before coming home.

Luvparrots Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Nancy that's great you can visit your baby. Can't wait until you can take some pictures to share with us!!! Have you picked out a cage and started gathering parrot goodies yet? That was great fun when I did it for my grey and made the time go a little faster.

PitSoulja Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Timnehs are wonderful parrots. They love spending time with their owner mine is a complete jabber jaw and very cuddly. not only does he love his chin rubbed like a cat but loves beak rubbing and petting too. i do recommend when hes old enough to come home you get a parrot necklace to keep him from chewing on your shirt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Welcome Nancy!!

baileyB Posted May 18, 2009 Author Share Posted May 18, 2009 Parrot necklace?? I have no idea what that is! The minute I can go put my hands on Bailey, I will get pics! I have been on many websites for 'toys'. I found a wonderful wood company selling wood pieces with holes for bird toys and selling craft sticks....all very cheap. I have a cage ordered...play top type. I am in the process of making my house bird proof. I have dogs/cats (so does the breeder) and a tiel(Bert), I already use non chemical cleaners(allergies). Tell me some other things I need to start doing...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
