Jinx - Blue Fronted Amazon hatched 12.06.2012
So I have just spent the last hour and a half talking on the phone with my breeder he said jinx is coming along brilliant and that I should be able to bring him home sometime this week I can't believe it was June 10th when I put a Ā£200 deposit down on him the 2 months have flew over for me and its getting to the point where I'm getting so excited about bringing him home as I am friends with the breeder I have said I will be more than happy to send him pictures and video's as jinx progresses and i have also said I will be happy to take him to visit in a way I feel sorry for his brother as a few weeks ago a couple went to see them and they asked if they could have jinx because he has more blue on him than his brother my breeder told them no as he was sold to me and jinx picked me every time I went to visit he would always be the first one to come and see me where as his brother wasn't really interested in me well I was told by the breeder just because jinx is sold to me that the couple didn't want his brother because he has less blue on him than what my boy has so they decided to lay down a deposit on a African grey instead :( in my opinion colour dose not really matter its the personality of the bird that gets you interested but anyways I hope jinx's brother finds a home soon aswell which im sure he will :) but as i said I really can not say how excited I am about getting him. :D

So happy for you! I know how excited you have been by reading your posts. I was that way about my boy Bandit. He is 5 months old and we have had him 3 weeks now and I can't believe how much he is talking. Not a bit of a screamer (yet anyway, I think my Quaker does enough for everybody LOL). I'm sure his brother with find a good home soon. Can't wait to hear more about him when he gets home. Congrats!!!

I can't believe they let color decide their bird !?!?
Maybe the blue matched their color decor at home ? Idk...

Probably for the best anyways......IMO

You did the right thing and let the bird pick you.
I don't mean mean that color doesn't matter , maybe it does , maybe your heart is set on the beautiful blue coloring of that species ......I can understand that , but ,ultimately I wouldn't let that bent deciding factor for Pete's sake !!!
There are many other deciding factors out there that should be your guide !
Like the obvious , overall health , temperment etc... And then the real big one ,does the one bird you chose work its way over to you and show interest in you ?
Could you imagine the bird you absolutely must have decides it doesn't want to go home with you because it doesn't like your hair color ?
I mean ,they are all so feakin adorable and if I were looking at one particular bird nd iPad my heart set on this species of birds and I was sold on this breeder , store , broker , and was told that one was sold but there was his brother who was as adorable as the others d playful and loved me , of freakin course I would be taking him !!!!!!
So gives a rats ( you know what ) what shade of blue he will have!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?!!?!?!?!?!

Ok , small vent there......but i have a feeling those people don't have their hearts set on a particular bird . And I don't think they ultimately care as much for the bird as you do
Paul (?)
Just my opinion....

Oh , he he , sorry....
I'm excited for you .......I've been there,just ask the group how crazy excited I was when going to get Stell ,lololol.
We've all been there and share in your excitement :)
It makes me smile to think how the excitement rises inside us and the only thing that helps us pass the time is talking on the forum about your new baby and/or fixing up the new cage , buying mega amounts of toys and things....lololol
Go ahead and gush about your new baby, we would love to hear more :)
Enjoy the excitement , the day before is a freakin killer !!! lolol

Your right about that one colour means nothing to me its a bonus that he picked me and he has the most blue on him but he could have no blue on him and I'd still love him the same I'm not one to vent over what other people decide on but just because they couldn't have jinx they went for a grey for all they know that bird may not want to leave with them where as jonx's brother was really happy to see them and they turned him away I know he will find a good home soon and your right my heart has being set on jinx since the day he picked me :)

Elvis - did someone say Elvis??? I am one of the lucky ones that saw him in concert during his fat days here in Md. I have been a life long fan. Sorry Paul to steel your thread here. I sent flowers to his funeral and believe it or not I get a thank you note back signed by his dad. It is framed now.

I'm on the floor now :worship2: lucky bugger wish I got a chance to see him live he sure was the king of rock and roll :D

That's so cool! I love that era of music! We have traveled through Memphis a few times but never stopped at Graceland though. I wanted too bad but the traffi in Memphis was a nightmare. I can't say I am a Sinatra fan at all. I mean at all. Anyway, like they said sorry paul for stealing your post. I guess we should post in the the off-topic section. Its so easy to mention something and get off topic. Again sorry!!
