It feels like an absolute dream! Finally after researching and yearning for a CBC for 12 years! my dream finally came true this morning. We had to drive about 4 hours total back and forth to get him but it was so worth it. He's everything id hoped for in my baby. From the moment the breeder put him in my travel cage he was inquisitive and sweet. He let me gently touch his feet and rub his chest through the bars with no fear or anger. He perched on my finger that I stuck in the bars of the door and nibbled on it so gently and was so happy to be touching me. He's been so quiet just sweet whispers and mumbles and the one alarm call he did when someone walked by the window wasn't even that bad.
He's played with a few of his toys and taken a chunk out of his pine platform perch,lol. and the snuggles and tameness is better than I could have hoped from the moment I opened that cage door he flew onto my shoulder and started preening my face and eye lashes sooooo gently!
He has a habit of chewing my shirt which I'm gently discouraging with a firm no and handing him a sola foot toy instead but he already seems to be getting the idea. He beak grinded on my shoulder for about 30 mins than slept for about 10 before he was ready to play again. I've been making sure to put him in his cage as hard as it is for varying times so he knows that he wont always be able to be out with me and so far so good. Its pathetically adorable how he runs along the bottom of the cage staring at me but I calmly tell him easy Tobias your ok and he's slowly getting the idea that its not something to freak out about. I couldn't be more thrilled that he already wants to spend so much time with me but I know i have to get a handle on it young so he wont turn into a screamer inside the cage. Its stuffed full of toys and perches so plenty to keep him occupied when he's in there.
I wish I had pics to share but I'm using someone else's laptop and they aren't on here but I promise I will try to get them on here to share soon! I'm just so incredibly grateful to his amazing breeder for raising him with such love and care and helping my dream to finally at long last come true!

Congratulations 
What an cute baby. Yeah that's a typical handsome crimson belly. They have a air of sophistication about them.
