Still waiting on the DNA.. I keep calling her baby and the pet shop calls her my kid. When I go to visit my baby the counter lady calls back and says, " Toni is here to visit her kid". Sound cute but, any how, my baby is on it's one day hand feeding in the morning so now I wonder how much longer. Also I hold it and it hasnt bit yet. I asked them is it always going to be this calm or what.The pet store said it's one of their best birds they got in. My baby likes to cuddle alot and it lifts up its head all the time when I talk. The pet store also said some customers go to pay on there layaways and dont bother to really visit the bird and bond. Then the new owners why they tak them home and they bite. Which is quite sad they dont visit.To me I feel Im transitioning well because my baby sees me and the petstore and it feels comforter or assured Im ok.But cant wait....I wonder how much longer?
Not much longer, Toni, if she is on 1 feeding a day, it won't be long at all. You are doing exactly what you should do, visit it as often as you can and you can see the results of that bonding already starting. You may have an easy going one like I got, she does not bite either, just beaks, which is normal, they use it like we would our hand, to explore.
I am so happy for you and glad you are keeping us up to date and keep up the good work, you are doing great.
Never take life seriously, no one gets out alive anyway!
Toni, it sounds like it could be very soon. You are lucky, sounds like a very sweet bird you have. Are you ready for her at home? It could be just days, it's really up to the bird. :S

You are so right, Talon, it could be just days, you better get ready, Toni, your baby is coming home real soon, and I know you cannot wait.:cheer: :cheer:
Yes, I'm pulling out the cage Friday and setting it up then. My b/f gave me PetSmart gift card for my B'Day so I can use it to buy toys for it. This is so exciting feels like almost setting up crib and bassinet for a baby ! Thanx bird friends of mine. This suspense is killing me. haha
I know how you feel and it will be like bringing home a new baby for sure, and you have a nice boyfriend that gives you a gift card you can really use.
Went to see my baby again. I go visit it every Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. This last visit my baby was in a biting mood pet owner thought it was weird because normally it hasnt bitten anyone.They said they even keep it at counter at times and it lets other customers pet it. So any clues why my baby bit me not once but 4 times? Ouch !
Maybe keeping it where other people have a chance to pet it was too much attention, and that was his way of telling you he did not like that, my guess. Then he may be just asserting his independence early, I wouldn't worry too much about it, Toni.:huh:
Hi Toni,
I agree with Judy, poor guy is probably getting poked at too much and has decided to start letting people know that it's NOT ok.
He could have also just been exhausted? If the bite didn't break the skin, but was applied with strong pressure, he could have been indicating that too.
Within all of us is a varying amount of space lint and star dust, the residue from our creation. Most are too busy to notice it, and it is stronger in some than others. It is strongest in those of us who fly and is responsible for an unconscious, subtle desire to slip into some wings and try for the elusive boundaries of our origin. ~K.O.
