Hi guys! I haven't been on in a while, but I figured I'd give you an update.

I've been in contact with a few breeders and I've placed a deposit on a Yellow-sided Green Cheek! Here's the pictures that were on the breeder's Facebook page.

Baby pictures:

Here they are recently (the one on the far left is the one I reserved):

I'm shaking I'm so exited!

I'm not sure. They said they're on four feedings a day currently and that (depending on the bird) they take away one feeding a week and monitor the weight. They said they keep them an additional week after they're weened to monitor weight, so maybe 5-6 weeks? I can't wait.

Here is the latest picture the breeder sent me:

Apparently this one has "lots of personality and loves to cuddle". And he/she chats in their sleep so that's cute.

I haven't gotten the DNA results yet, that will be in about 2 weeks.

I'm guessing that based on the parents, the breeder can't sex them, thus needing DNA sexing.

They are awfully cute, though!

Oh, no, I just got baby parrot fever! Again! So sweet... makes me want one so badly...
You're lucky!
Sounds as if you have a responsible, caring breeder. And I love how you're preparing well in advance.
Are you dreaming up names?

Lol, ya I love baby parrots. This breeder does seem reputable so that's awesome. They're somewhere in southern Alberta so if anyone there (or elsewhere in Canada, they ship) is looking for a breeder (they breed other species too), here's the link:
https://www.facebook.com/petbirds.biz/

And yes, I already have names picked out for both genders. Shouldn't be too long now as the test was going to take 2 weeks (around 4 days left).

Ya, the wait sucks, I can't wait! There's been a delay in the DNA test so I have to wait another 3 weeks to know the gender. :/

OMG - That picture of your bird in (your?) hand is ADORABLE!
My bird talks in her sleep too (it makes me quiet, really fast...like a baby stirring)---but YES, it is irresistibly cute!

Ya, I thought it was adorable too. He/She is in the breeders hand not mine but it's very cute. I'm tired of waiting but it's only 2-3 more weeks.
