Gracie is Home!

[Lady Jane]

Of course we like that name. And who doesnt like Harry B songs?

Gracie & George...oh well...Omega & Zeta!!!

Gracie has arrived! She was dropped off this morning.

She's a young, yellow, little girl...my guess no more than ten months old.

Vet check is on Tuesday. Seeing where she came from, we're going to probably end the quarantine much earlier than normal...my guess is by the end of the week we'll start getting making budgie introductions..Omega and Gracie.

I was going to have all of you help me name her...I still might...I don't think she really knows her name yet.

I'll post pictures tomorrow, and then I'll be asking for name suggestions...


She has already started vocalizing...and Omega is answering her...

 

[camelotshadow]

Yeah she looks like a he...oh well...Zeta is till cute or any greek name

Awww, so sorry I missed this! So sweet Bob!

Computer was down yesterday, until this morning.

We're going to rename Gracie...her/his name will henceforth be Harlequin...or Harley for short.

It fits for a boy or girl (I'll call Harley a girl for the time being...it's easier than to be switching back and forth in posting)

Thank you Sadie...a.k.a @Peachfaced for your suggestion.

Harley brings so much happiness to our lives...she likes to sit in her food bowl while she eats...

 

[Nancy B]

Oooh! I like Harley! Harley & Omega! Cute!

 

[cassiesdad]

Forgot to post...Harley did make it to her wellness visit yesterday...I'm happy to report that everything turned out well...she even pooped so we could get a fecal sample...

 

[sunnysmom]

Cute name. : )

 

[Budgiebonkers]

She is 100% a male recessive pied whos cere will always be pink due to his mutation

OK...we'll go with that then....

 

[Lady Jane]

That means no eggs! Unless Omega is female.

 

[cassiesdad]

Even as we now consider Harley a boy...we still love and cherish him.

That means no eggs! Unless Omega is female.

That we know...as she had laid two clutches (three eggs each)

If Harley and Omega become "friends with benefits"...we'll get the fake eggies ready...

 

[webchirp]

Congrats!

Harley likes to sit in the food bowl while he eats...he also begs for Omega to feed him...so...there's that...

Young birds would do that. Merlin was quite annoyed at Nova when she did that as a freshly arrived baby. He refused to be her dad, he told her to find her food by herself and leave him alone thanks.

 

[WeasleyLover]

Love the new name!

There ya go double prooof he's a male!

 

[cassiesdad]

Omega is so much more vocal...I truly think she's so much happier now that there's another birdie with her...

 

[cassiesdad]

Thought I'd let you all know...Harley and Omega were doing the nasty today...the first time we've spotted them doing so...I guess we'll bring the fake eggies out of storage...just in case...

 

[cassiesdad]

...it's still kind of sad that we won't be letting them have little ones...the colors would probably be stunning...Omega is white/blue and Harley is yellow...but there are too many budgies out there looking for good homes...
