Just picked out my new baby!

[Skrub04]

Hello everyone I went to pick out my baby today! Could anyone give my a guess on what mutation it will be?

 

[Birdbabe]

Pearl/ pied!

 

[Skrub04]

Thank you! The next several weeks are going to feel like forever I am excited: )

 

[zoo mom]

Cutie pie that's my guess for mutation
congratulations.

 

[Zeus]

Cute little guy or girl.

 

[Skrub04]

Right, me and my husband are taking bets for kicks and giggles but no matter what I am excited.

How exciting! He or she is a real cutie pie! Do you get to visit with your little bird over the next few weeks?

 

[Skrub04]

Yep they said I could come by as much as I want lol so I want to try and come by at least once a week to take pictures of how much he or she grows. Do you think that will make the transition to my home any easier?

 

[Tiel Feathers]

I think the more you can go visit and bond with your bird the better. I went see my babies 2-3 times each week, and they were 40 minutes away. The more you can go and hold him and talk with him the better. By the time you take him home he will be so comfortable with you that the new environment won't throw him off too much.

Looks like a cinnamon pearl _____? So *probably* female?


What mutations are the parents?

 

[Skrub04]

I have been in a couple times already, for the parents I would have to ask. Its a local pet store that the owners gets the babies and hand feed them.

 

[Skrub04]

For names I am having a hard time I really like Leeloo but I also like Woodstock and that that would work for a boy or a girl

 

[Tiel Feathers]

Woodstock is a cute name!

Congratulations on your new feathered friend/family member! Great that you are able to go and visit.

 

[Bananerz]

Adorable!

 

[Skrub04]

Thanks I have named him/her Petrie after the character from land before time

 

[Bananerz]

Awesome name
Cant wait to see what s/he looks like when s/hes bigger!

 

[zoo mom]

Cuuuuuuuuuute

 

[Skrub04]

Me too, he looks different every time I go. He seems to have gotten used to me though when I hold him he leans he head forward. I basically spend a hr walking around petting his head or talking to him.
