Friday the 13th I will head to Toronto with my friend and my son to pick up Denis. I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas and will be counting the sleeps.

I ordered the pellets recommended by the breeder today and put the budgies in the smaller cage so Denis can have the larger cage for his quarantine. They are not too pleased and Phoenix laughed at me when my first attempt was unsuccessful.

Yesterday I received a receipt from the breeder showing he has been paid for.

So far the only thing I purchased (other than ordering pellets) is a rope perch from the store where I got Phoenix.

The owner kept trying to sell me one of his cages, even though he knows I am getting mine custom.

They were also trying to warn me about the breeder saying it may be a scam. And then let me know that Digger is a Camaroon Grey. They also asked what I paid (nothing) which made them also question the legitimacy of the deal. The asking price of Denis (Congo) was half of what they were asking for Digger (Camaroon).

I doubt I will return to their store and will be ordering my supplies online.

I tried to get an appointment with the closest avian vet (4 hours) because of the guarantee and her last day before holidays is Friday the 13. When I told the breeder he assured me (through Facebook messenger, so I have proof) that he would still honour the guarantee and I can go when the vet returns.

He knows how far I live from the vet because he gave me the information of where to find one closest.

That is about it for now but I am sure I will have lots of questions.

Good luck.
Thanks.

The breeder is sending so much information. The last of it contained information on picking up Denis and bringing him home.

He also included a picture of the carrier he will be in.

I have my phone all set and ready for photos.

The breeder has been updating me with information about Denis and getting ready to safely bring him home.

The last update I was informed he prefers tummy rubs to head rubs.

And if I have him on my arm or shoulder I should have earplugs in.

We made a minor road trip to pickup Dobby when Momazon couldn't keep him due to life chages and it was a adventure to say the least. I had been to the area where we were to meet before but it was a big college and had two campuses, I picked the wrong one :facepalm:
It was about a seven hour round trip and luckily Dobby decided I was alright and aproved of me. He's happily sitting on the forbidden TV scraping his beak and looking like try to make me move...

He is in his cage. Only took about two hours. But he is in and will adjust.

Phoenix knows there is someone new in the other room and isn't too impressed at the moment.

But I know he will adjust as well.
