New African Grey Baby!

[pchela]

So, next weekend I will be picking up a six week old African Grey Congo! I'm really excited! I feel a bit guilty because I totally believe in rescue and I have rescued and fostered many birds but I selfishly wanted just one baby that I could raise myself. I'm anxiously waiting on the dna results so I can start the naming process.

That came as a sudden surprise. How'd you decide all of a sudden to get one or have you been eying one a while without telling us? Are you going to ween it yourself?

Can't wait to see pictures!

I have been thinking about one for a while but I didn't say anything because I didn't think it was going to happen. But... my two fosters are going home to their original owner (he was suffering some health problems and couldn't take care of them for a while) and he is actually buying this Grey for me as a thank you even though I told him again and again that he did not have to do that. He insisted. I am going to wean him/her myself. I'm very excited!

Awww, adorable! I know what you mean, 'naked' birds really don't look very nice, but babies are always cute!

Made me laugh out loud! So cute and so ugly is right! Adorable, though.

Picked up the baby yesterday! It's a little boy! Now I have to think of a name. So far I've got Simon from Firefly, Rupert from Buffy or Griffin after the friend who bought him for me. My other two are Pippin and Linus.
