Baby Cape!

[jujube1209]

This morning, my husband and I placed a deposit on a male cape hatched 1/1/17. We do not have a name picked out for him yet, but like Murphy, Toby, and Mingus (Gus for short).

Apparently I have lost my mind. We just rescued a caique a few weeks ago (who we think is 21!) and already had two conures. Capes have been on my bucket list since I was a teenager, so it's a little surreal to think this is finally happening. Hopefully he will get to come home in the next 6-8 weeks!

Yep...not quite set up a bucket list but got to get on that.

Your baby is a cutie! Going to be long weeks but you have time to set up his cage & things

The hardest part is waiting!

Congrats. If I had the extra $$ and more space I would get a Cape or a Ruppell's.
He is very cute.
Also, thank you for rescuing the Caique!

Also, thank you for rescuing the Caique!

Goodness, the caique (Beckett) is just the sweetest thing. He was at a bird fair (that I went to so I could get supplies for my incoming Cape and my conures) and I just couldn't leave him there. Nobody knew anything about him at all. I'm glad we brought him home.

Is the Cape being shipped?
Caique is very cute.

 

[jujube1209]

Yes, the Cape will have to be shipped. I'm a little nervous about it, but I'm told they do quite well.

Wonderful bird!

I've had a bird shipped to me and it went fine. I'd do it again too they just take a few more days to settle in and need a vet checkup right away to be sure they're ok.
I've had other animals shipped and they turned out fine too.
Yes, I still did worry..ask my husband, I was a nervous wreck!

Yes, the Cape will have to be shipped. I'm a little nervous about it, but I'm told they do quite well.

My Dusky conure, Jaden Jalen, was shipped from Virginia to CA and Kosmo, my Lagotto Romagnolo, was shipped from Hungary. I was very nervous and then very relieved when they arrived safely. There were no issues except for a mistake online regarding Kosmo's flight (flight info hadn't been updated when I checked) and also me being very worried.

United shipped my Rio fine.

I got more pictures last night! And he got a name! His name is Griffin!

Cute Cape and cute name! He seems to like to pose for photos. I assume he's the one in the front.
