One of these babies...

[FiatLux]

Im 4th pick and one of these yellow sided green cheek conures has gone home so one of the ones in this photo will be coming home with me in a week or two! So excited I had to share (especially because it seems only people on this forum are as happy to geek out about things like this as I am lol!)

Gorgous birds you wont go wrong with any of them i got my first parrot 16 days ago a pineapple conure and have enjoyed every moment so far.

Congratulations! They're all adorable!

Congratulations, can’t wait for more pictures of your new baby!

Amazing! They all look like my Marvin; she** was the last remaining bird from her clutch and she's awesome.

**DNA sexed after naming.

Congrats! Can't wait to see which one you get!

Marvie is a perfectly sweet little girl and we love her! She may not be a Pineapple, like @Wardy Mojo or a Turquoise like @Sylvi_ Gylphie but Marvie definitely has her place with the Green Cheek Girls on this forum!!

Absolutely! Marvie’s part of the prestigious Sassy Sorority here on AA.

Alrighty, @FiatLux we’re going to be on pin feathers waiting to see if your new baby is going to be a Sassy Sorority shoe-in or if the baby ends up the lone very dashing and handsome boy of the club!

On pin feathers...lol. Oh I do love a good pun. I am getting a dna test so y’all will be the first, wait no, actually the second to know : ).

 

[FiatLux]

Also I just posted my cage set up in the cage forum and would love a safety check and improvements feedback from anyone who has the time : ). Merck bien.
PS. The chosen name, subject to change based on personality, is Pitchounette.

Just got the call and I swear I’m in many ways tough as nails but I actually broke into tears. Must be all the anticipation. I’m picking up my baby at 1pm PST on Saturday. Expect lots more questions and posts lol! For starters, when should I take him to my avian vet? The bird store suggested I wait 2 months to get her settled in. What do y’all think?

 

[flyzipper]

That's awesome!

If the bird hasn't been vetted, I wouldn't wait 2 months, but since you don't have any other birds, you also don't need to do it on the way home.

(I'd go on the soon-ish end of that spectrum though)

Happy Tears!! New family member!
I guess I would ask them what the store’s health guarantee is. Not to make you worry, but since they don’t do disease testing, will they offer a guarantee if you take your baby to the vet and something is wrong or an avian disease is found? Some stores only offer a health guarantee if the bird is brought to the vet within 48 hours, etc.
Birds are expensive to purchase as babies, and you’re buying one from a well established store. They should be used to that question and be able to tell you their policy.

Thank you. They have a two week health guarantee. I actually had an appointment set up for the following Thursday but that’s only 5 days after s/he gets home. Do you think I should keep the appointment or wait it out? I will be asking for blood tests to establish a baseline so I’m leaning towards waiting because it does seem like a lot all at once.
i do have another bird, a lizard canary named Francois, but we are keeping them in separate rooms for a month per the forum protocols I’ve read.
