Just got on the list for a new baby GCC

[Phlox]

I'd been debating about what I wanted to do for the last member of my flock for a while. I'd thought about a parrotlet and another budgie, etc. However, after much consideration and the fact that my much older (18, 14 and 6 yr old) birds don't want o play with Phlox...I just got on a waiting list for a new baby GCC. The baby should be weaned in Sept! One parent is normal and one is a yellow side, so we'll see how she turns out...though that's not super important in the big scheme.

I know the new baby and Phlox aren't guaranteed to like each other, but I think this is a much better chance for Phlox to have someone her size to play with vs. getting a different species or trying to convince my older birds that this rambunctious GCC is a good playmate. Phlox will be 8 months old or so when we get the new baby.

Anyone with multiple GCCs want to chime in about suggestions for introductions/socialization for the best chance of them being friends?

Hi Phlox
I can't be of any help because I only have one GCC, Larry/normal green cheek.
Just want to share in your excitement.
I was considering another GCC for a while but talked myself out of it for the time being. I ended up falling in love with a beautiful Yellow/Orange male canary who we named Norman.
Don't forget to post the pics of your new baby!!!

Yay that is so exciting! You are so lucky! I have wanted another greeny for along time! I already have names picked out! But my dad hates Lilo and he thinks that every green cheek is like her So no but I am very excited for you! I'm sorry I can't help tho, I only have one green clown!

Awww...how adorable! Congrats! I can't give advice about introducing them...sorry. I don't think my 2 will ever be able to be out at the same time (because of Sassy...Cisco could care less). Keep the pics coming and again, congrats!
