He sounds easily confused...I hope he doesn't send you a goldfish by accident...

He has the excuse that English isn't his first language, LOL. He speaks French.

Apparently the shipper wouldn't accept the carrier Yvons was in, so we're trying to ship the bird GAAIN on Tuesday, AFTER the convention. This better be it.. if not, I'm gonna demand a refund.

How far away is Yvons from where you live (driving miles)? Where is he in relation to where your convention is?

The convention is in the same city as I am, just by the airport . As for Yvons... he's like... a 2-day, perhaps 3-day drive to my city. He's in Montreal, Quebec, if I remember right. Thus why he's being shipped by plane.

In all my years of shipping birds, I've never had a shipping issue quite like this... **Head desks and nurses a Coca-Cola bottle**

I was just wondering if it was less than an 8 hour ride to Yvons maybe you could take a bus there, pick him up, and bus back with Yvons but thats way too far. L

Oh, how I wish I could get out there to see him! And I wish I could drive. I'd drive out there in a heartbeat to pick him up !

OH! Got this new pic of Yvons that I forgot to post:

 

[DonnaBudgie]

Hi sweetie!

 

[DonnaBudgie]

How old is he? His irises look light greyish like very young ones not yellow like mature adults but it may be the photo.

I was told he's 17, and his hatch year is on his ring.

 

[DonnaBudgie]

That's a good age for both of you. Babies live too long.
He looks like he has most of his feathers and hasn't plucked much. Considering how many people and their parrots have plucking issues regardless of what they do to prevent it it's almost amazing he got to 17 without picking up the habit. Knock on wood!

 

[rheashard2]

There's always hope to avoid feather plucking. Nameliss will be 21 yo next week. No plucking yet. But she's doing other frustrating things. Thought Apr photo winner too cute. So started asking her..1, 2, where's your shoe? Then continue the rhyme with nonsense. So Nameliss is now saying over and over 1, 2 then waits for me to respond.

 

[Vampiric_Conure]

Back from the Convention! Oh wow was it chaotic... lots of drama, but also lots of fun! The birds an cats are happy to see me again.

As for Yvons... hope he gets shipped this week. IEEEEEE!

 

[Vampiric_Conure]

I've developed a nasty case of what we call 'Con Crud'—in my case, a cold. I have a cough, runny nose, and sore throat. I may be absent for a few days until I recover from this.

 

[rheashard2]

Well take care. I call it the Creeping Crud. It creeps from person to person in large groups, conventions, games, groceries etc.

 

[Vampiric_Conure]

The cough is getting better, the nose is behaving, the sore throat is officially gone, and Yvons might be coming home tomorrow or Tuesday.

Wish me luck!

 

[rheashard2]

LUCK!!!!

 

[Vampiric_Conure]

LUCK!!!!

Thanks!

He said he was setting the shipping time for tomorrow, so fingers crossed it works out this time.

 

[Vampiric_Conure]

YIPPPPPIEEEEE! YVONS is HOOOOOME! He's been in his new cage for about 1/2 an hour and is already making this high-pitched squeaking noise and dangling from the top of his cage by one foot. The dog is going NUTS.. 'NEW BIRD TO SNIFF!! OMG OMG OMG!!!'

Can't wait to see pictures!
