So adorable!
And very kind that the breeder send you some pics.
I hope that it's a she because Chiloé was a great and beautiful name.

 

[Ella.pi]

Yes, I love that name. ^^

When do you get to meet him /her.

In a week. the breeder's only an hour and a half drive away from us but we're leaving for the South of France on holiday tomorrow so we'll see her or him when we return.

I just love them. They're about the only small bird I'd ever have. Keep the pics coming.

Ok so... I came home with her. She's a big gorgeous cudly baby that's already far more agile with her wings than her feet. She's three months old and just about weaned but still asks for a comfort spoon feeding in the evening. As i've already done that and she's so outgoing and comfortable with us, we decided to take her home and let her take as much comfort food as she needs.

Congratulations!

Thank you! I did hesitate because she's not quite fully weaned yet, not emotionally anyway... but when they asked us if we wanted to take her home today because it was only a matter of a few weaks before she'll stop needing her evening feeding... we just couldn't say no. I should have really... but... once she snugles up on your shoulder, rubing against your cheek like a cat, it's just impossible to resist her.

She's afraid of nothing and wants to explore everything, nothing like my shy pi boys when we introduced them to their new home and family. But yes, she's extremly loud! especially when she screatches in your ear while holding onto it with her beak. My ear actually rang. we'll have to make lots of toys for this busy baby! but I can't get over how outgoing she is. She just follows us like a flying puppy and doesn't act stressed at all.

Oh and I say "she" by habit because in French, conures are a "she" not an "it" but we still don't know what "she" is as she's not dna sexed yet.
