Jade is coming home Saturday!!!

[Dan]

I just recevied an e-mail from the breeder and our Red Fronted Macaw, Jade, is fully weaned and ready to come home.

We are going to pick her up Saturday afternoon.

How exciting for you. I really like the name. Did you know that jade plants are safe plants for parrots? Send us photos when you can. Thanks

We can't wait! Just like any baby, it seems like we've waited for so long and now that's she's ready, we aren't.

Read up on the articles on the forum - they helped me so much and everyone here is so friendly and supportive. Keep us posted and good luck with everything. I have no doubt that you are going to make Jade a happy parrot. Have fun on Saturday

Thanks! I can't wait to bring her home.

I did not know that about the Jade plant and will need to look that one up now.

I have pictures of her in the gallary and will post more this weekend of her in her new home.

How is it going with new bird?

 

[HRH Di]

It's going very well. Dan will post pics later. My Max is a bit disconcerted but, overall, doing fine. He'll get some Cream of Wheat later to make sure he knows I still love him best.

The dogs have been good, too and it helps that the breeder has large dogs so Jade is used to it.

It's going great! When we decided on this breeder she encouraged is to visit Jade as frequently as we could to start bonding from an early age and it all paid off yesterday. Jade was.a little nervous in the car but calmed down as soon as Diana put her hand in the carrier and held her.

She is fully flighted so I was a little apprehensive about her flying away from us but she went straight to my shoulder. The breeder is an hour and a half away and all the Saturdays driving out there paid off.

diana and I are out shopping for treats and toys for Jade and I will post up pics this afternoon.

Congratulations on your new arrival!! I know you both will have great fun with her!

Will you clip or keep Jade fully flighted?

Max and Jade - sharing space

I have to make sure my Max gets equal time in the pics

She actually fell asleep on her back while she was on my lap yesterday while Max was on my shoulder, so I think she's feeling pretty comfortable.

 

[Riley's mom]

Great family pic!! You all are going to have so much fun with them both. Congrats!
