Hello everyone,

My name is Kendra and I am playing the waiting game for my new Green Wing. He, or she, hatched Friday, February 3rd. He, or she, will be pulled from the nest at 4 weeks. I'll have to wait until then to get a picture as the breeder doesn't disturb the babies for the first 4 weeks while they are with the mother and father. Then, approximately 2 weeks after that, I can start making the 3 hour drive to start helping to feed and bond. As of now, it looks as if he, or she, will be coming home around the 21st of April. I have first pick of the clutch which will be DNA tested and I've asked for a girl. Should there be a girl, her name will be Meera. Should there only be boys, he will be Jojen. (Unless I change my mind about names between now and April 21) Until I know for sure, I'm just going to refer to HER as Meera.

Her cage is here

Today, I went to the store, ordered, and made arrangements for the PVC pipe to be cut to the specifications that Birdman posted for his Macaw play stand.

Now, all I need to do is start filling that cage with toys, build that playstand and wait. :D

I know how excited you must be. Greenwing Macaws have a very sweet nature. Mine is a very gentle bird, and very clever. I hope the time goes quickly for you to bring your baby bird home.

So cute! We are going the exact same route. We are putting a deposit on a baby that's due to hatch today or tomorrow.

How exciting! At least you won't have to worry about your birdie being egg bound if you have a boy :)

This is true ... And I believe "fated" - all my animals have always been boys but for several different reasons I thought it might be best to get a girl GW .. However, that wasn't meant to be and I'm perfectly ok with that 😍🐦
