Hi guys, I'm in research for my new friend forquiet some time, because I wasn't fully convinced yet, I missed thé planned expo, but now I found an offer of GCC. One is natural coloured and oné I like more is turquoise opaline. Do You think, that I should go for him? 15.4. should be a dáte when I can pick and Its very close to my city. He will be 12 weeks old, but raised under thé parents. Is it a good choice?
Ill try to post a picture attached to thé Annonce, probably thé parents
Thank You for help

Cute birds! I kind of like the looks of little shy guy off to the right. Pretty red belly patch and looks like a nice gentle bird in the eyes:)

Are these birds hand reared or parent raised? Any chance of meeting them to see if one likes you more than the others?

I'm guessing you mean the second guy from the left. He/She looks healthy as far as I can see from the picture. Looks like all the toes are there, no obvious plucking or stress bars, nose looks clear, bright eyes, so I don't see any obvious bad things.

The best thing would be for you to meet him/her and see how you two like each other. But if that's not possible, then go with your gut. If you can't stand to lose him/her to someone else, then make your move. :)

Good luck!!!!

Even the keeper looks like a caring person. She sent me an email wether I have good cage, enough time for bird etc, so it seems She doesn't want to sell ať all costs. I think I'll go for her, If Im not mistaken Its a female. Thank You KiwiBird And Squeekmouse:) as for me, I have all thé time in the world, I'm disabled and I work from home

I have a good feeling about this one for you:D You must be over the moon excited now! And with a couple weeks to go, you should have ample time to get a nice setup going. It's so nice to see someone taking their time, doing their research and I'm guessing you'll be an excellent new birdie owner when 'she' comes home. Congrats!

I'm excited for you!

Yes, vsit and see what chemistry happens...

And if you're completely smitten with that turquoise beauty, well, I hope there's some chemsity there in person. One of the reasons I bought the Rickeyburd so long ago was that I was just enchanted by his appearance. To this day, even when he's being a monster, his beauty kinda memserizes me.

Good luck. Keep us posted, please!

A lot of people would tell you that no, it's not a good choice to buy a parent raised chick, but if you are willing and dedicated, and you use positive reinforcement training techniques, then I'd say you shouldn't have any issues at all! :)

Just be aware that your new little buddy may be scared and unsure for several days or weeks and it will take time to earn her trust, but it will be worth it in the end!
