Well the day I thought would never come finally arrived!
We've named him/her Georgie and he's adorable.
According to the hatch certificate he's 13 1/2 weeks old, I thought he was younger. He's a very capable flyer and when the breeder opened the cage he took off round the room!
He seems to be settling in nicely, One question, the breeder fed him with a syringe, she said I could try feeding him with a spoon, the thing is he makes a low growl and throws his head back and I'm not sure whether he's afraid of the spoon or he's not sure how to eat from it and is waiting for me to put it down his throat....well what a mess, poor thing was covered in it.
He's let me put my hand in the cage and stroke his chest and beak and although he hasn't moved around a great deal he has been chewing one of his toys.
He's certainly doesn't seem to be very nervous and even when the kids have slammed doors and approached rather quickly he doesn't bat an eye.
I think it was love at first sight for all the family!
