Wish you a happy life with the little babyy I think Layla is a good name, I was going to name my Baby Layla, but my family liked Baby. It's one of my favourite names.

hey!

Congrats on your soon to be new baby bird!
I just got two baby green cheek conures, they're adorable.
We think they're a male and female. We named the male Niko and thinking about naming the female Mika, but not sure :p
I like that the name Layla, for sure.
Closest to Lola too :p
My sisters name is Laura, and my nephew who turns two in October calls her and often me (we're identical twins :p) "Lola!" But it kind of sounds like lala too lol
he cant really say Sarah, so I'm trying to get him to call me Auntie, lol

Anyways! I just wanted to congrat you and tell you my name prefence
and cant wait for pictures!!

Oh!
And I totally remember why I was going to reply to this in the first place.
About the clipping comment, I would not clip her.
My two green cheeks are still being hand fed and the female is older than the male and she was a beautiful flyer when we visited the breeder. But I heard such horror stories of birds flying into doors or windows and dieing, So I clipped Mikas thinking I would clip Nikos when his wings got a little stronger (so he could still fly a few feet after they were clipped) but now I dont want to clip him, lol
And I regret clipping Mikas wings...now I want her to molt so they'll grow back out.
I'm hoping she'll remember how to fly, she was a great flyer before I clipped her
I feel bad now, haha
I love having Niko fly to me from his cage.
And yes, they are a little more independent and I have to watch him more...but I think its awesome when he flys around
And idk, its just taking away birds lively hood when we clip them (I realize this now )
And I just decided not to live in fear about them hitting a door or something.
If we all thought that way we'd be no where in life.
So thats my two cents! I know there are many who will disagree with me :p

P.S. My thing says no on flighted because I have parrotlets too (they were supposed to be pets but now they're just breeders because the breeder lied about them being babies and now they're bonded and breeding and hate me lol) and the breeder clipped them.
So three out of the four parrots are clipped (sadly) but I would have them not be if I decided now.
Although idk about the parrotlets...they'd just be trouble makers with their wings for sure lol

congratulations! i know what you are going through exactly with your parents. i had just my senegal while living at home and adopted my red belly without telling them. when i brought her home though she did well with being held by everyone( senegal was not holdable by anyone but me :p)i kept up with the cleaning, and there was no issues from then on.

AHHHH! lol I'm super excited sorry.

Update: My new baby will be shipping on Thursday. Picking her up at La Guardia Airport (NY) and look forward to updating you all with how everything went. I am pretty nervous but I'm staying positive. I have EVERYTHING ready for her, just waiting for the flight and times so that I will be able to make a vet appointment for the same day/day after. Her cage is all set up, I'm stocked with food and all. She will be staying in a temporary cage (it's still a nice size) and once I find out she is all healthy I will work on Charlie accepting her into our life! These pics were taken tonight by the breeder.





sorry a bit blurry,


Breeder did ask if I wanted to take both, as much as I'd like to - it was hard enough to get my parents to allow me 1 more after Charlie lol
Talk to y'all Thursday!!

She is a total doll! I have never heard of this kind of conure before, and now I'm wondering how to sneak one into the house
