DNA came back today!

[Lullx]

I haven't been active on this forum for a little bit, due to being very busy, but I just had to share the news with you all!

The aviary contacted me to say that the DNA results came back for my little one.

It's a girl!


So Little One is henceforth known as Nephele, my little cloud.

I'll be going to see her again this Sunday, and taking my mother with me
Of course, I'll share pictures with you all!

I'm really very sorry that I haven't been around lately!
I've been very busy preparing my home and the flock for when Nephele comes home

Thank you all so much for the congrats
I originally wanted a boy, until I read even further into CAG behavior and realized that gender doesn't much matter. When the aviary told me that she was most likely a girl, I started to get more excited about the idea of having a female versus a male. In the end, it didn't matter at all to me. I'd love her just the same if she was a he.

That little picture was taken three weeks ago, when I went to see her last. She was about 8 weeks old. Now she's 11 weeks! Hatched on Valentine's Day

I have most of the big things I needed to buy for her (including getting a quote for her first vet visit), and now pretty much just need toys and the small fun things.
I've found the time to sit and make a few things at night for my visit tomorrow, to see if she'll play with some toys. She was playing with my jewelry last time, so I'm hopeful

I made a big, chunky bracelet out of plastic buttons, since birds love to play with jewelry. It's actually fun to wear on my arm!

My conure Genevieve at least loves it and has been having fun trying to liberate the buttons. Hopefully her "little" sister Nephele will like it just as much!

I also made her a shreddable flower

And a rain stick rattle (left). The bell/lantern on the right is for my little monsters. I'll hang it up on their cage later today.

I also found some seagrass twists at Tractor Supply Co that my monsters love, and I'll be bringing a couple of those with me tomorrow, and a few other little things. I want to see what sorts of toys she likes more so I can have a little stockpile when she comes home.
