who knew when I woke up this morning, I would be getting a baby conure!:D

I was scanning kijiji this morning, like I always do, and there was this ad, it had just been posted 1 minute before I signed on.

born in April, a beautiful hand tamed green cheek, plus all the accessories for $100.00-no strings attached. the best part is this sweet bird is split to BLUE!

so if he ever has babies, I will now have conures split to blue or blue....not that I am intending on breeding him, but I'm just thinking ahead:rolleyes:

we met the owner at her condo, which was very luxurious, and she came out of the elevator with three bags loaded with accessories, and terrible food(I'll get to that in a minute)
At first I wondered if she was going back up for the bird, but here it is sitting on her shoulder!...she takes it everywhere, her kids parties, takes him outside, and he never leaves her side. his wings are clipped and I have to admit he is very sweet. he stepped up without any hesitation onto Sarah's finger, and just cuddled right into her.
he sat on her shoulder once we got off the highway, and he never moved.

we have named him Flare.

as for the food, it was vile what she fed him, sunflower seeds, corn flakes, and seed from WalMart....my skin is crawling right now:eek:
but on the good side of things, she did feed Flare, some veggies, and apple.

I took pics on my phone but haven't got them sent to my computer yet.

the previous owner just had Flare Dna'd and should get the results soon.

right now he is settling into his cage(thank god for spares) and relaxing, he doesn't seem to keen on my cockatiels either, but that will come in time.
here is FLARE:

Oh my goodness! What a cutie! And what a bargain! If she takes him everywhere did she say why she was selling him? Love that photo with Sarah- completely obvious they love each other already! :)
 
Flare is gorgeous!!!! And what a sweetheart- snuggling up with sarah! I'm curious also why she was rehoming him?
 
aww what a sweet photo of Flare and Sarah, i believe Sarah will still Flare from you. What a great deal, I am curious as to why she rehomed him also. You sure lucked out !
 
Unfortunately the bird did not care much for her toddler, Flare would fly away, and want nothing to do with her daughter, which made her cry.
The previous owner paid $250.00 for the bird, and $150.00 for all they toys, perches, swings, etc....
this bird is totally bonded with Sarah, goes where she goes, or will flutter to her.
we had Flare at the dinner table tonight, and he sat with her the whole time.
this is definitely a bird that we can get a harness for!!!!
 
Yay, Flare is handsome! :) Sure he's settling in well!
 
He's very cute! Yup, there's no way you could pass that up! Lol I did a hair color resembling your daughters today, but no color in the world looks better than the real thing :) stunning color!

really.... care to share a picture?? do you like it?
you are right about her colour, she always gets comments on her hair, My cousins hair colour is very similar, but hers is more blonde, where Sarahs' is more of a deeper red.
 
Congrats on your new baby!!!! Flare is adorable! :)
 
CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your daughter is so pretty!! She looks so in love with Flare already ^__^

I am really happy for you!
 
Congrats on your new baby!!! Flare is so cute.
 
Flare is SO pretty!!! As is your daughter - I can already hear the boys knocking on your door. ;)

Incredible deal you got him for!!!! :eek:

How is he settling in?
 
thanks everyone!!, we put Flare to bed early (around 7:30 last night)
he was a tired little guy from all the excitement yesterday.

I'm going to love watching him eat really good food today with my other birds.

you should have seen the look on his face when I first brought him into our bedroom, it was quite funny, he was wide eyed, as all of my birds were chirping with excitement.
 
He is adorable! What a great find! Congrats! :D
