Arika was hatched on 5/10/2017.
She's coming up on one year old in a few days and just ordered a few things for her to celebrate.

So very happy to hear that Arkia will be one year old in a few days.
To my understanding, Blue and Golds where not classified as endangered at the time of Arkia's hatch. That said, I would strongly recommend that you gather together your purchase documentation (proof of purchase) and the name of the organization you purchase Arkia with location, contact information (etc..) and cost. If you did not purchase from a breeder, speak with the organization you purchased from and ask for as much information as possible.
Once you have collected this information assure that have several copies in a safe location and provide a set to your Certified Avian Vet. What this does is create a Paper Trial and the foundation of a Hatch Certificate that will support the age of your Mac when Blue and Golds are full included in a CITES class I & II.
Strongly consider having a micro chip implanted and the chip number included with your documentation.
This is a great time while the information is still fresh and available.
Congratuations!
I'm so happy for both of you!
