Guess what I did?

[rainbowfeathers77]

I drove ;D ..............further than I've ever been (the timid/incompetent driver that I am) on my own ....to get me a little something ;D

It is an unexpceted addition to my already "planned tame birds list"....the list as it stands....a sun conure, a pastel-blue irn, a blue-masked lovebird.....and now, my latest but first addition to this list........

yep, I got me another GCC ! ;D

(well, I guess you could say, I really DID, do a meandem, this time ;D)

I wasn't planning on getting another GCC but I still miss my Pinchy so much and I have been sooo ridiculously desperate for a companion bird....I couldn't wait till the others got born/hatched.

He/she just came home tonight. I ofcourse got lost getting to the place and had to stop at a servo to ask for directions but a good-samaritan (customer) offered to show me the way, so I followed her car for a while ;D...and got there in peace. Got lost again coming home...had no idea where I was, wanted to cry ....but I got home in the end....and with my GCC still alive .
THANK GOD for street directories....even if they only half help me, since I still get lost......or am I just being a typical female ? ;D No comments needed, here ;D

His/her name is Rhubarb. Can you guess why?

As the celebrity parents do, no photos of their babies go public... ok, well not just yet, I'll give him/her a few days to get used to me first before I start poking the camera in his/her little face.
Rhubarb is 8 weeks old.

Well aren't you just full of surprises......and kept that little secret all to yourself didn't you girl!!!!!! lol

Awwwww Rhubarb sounds so sweet, can't wait for the piccies.

lol Geez Kat, you will need a semi trailer when moving just for the birds lol

[rainbowfeathers77]

LOL Tash...I was going to tell you I swear ;P

[vankarhi]

Would he/she be called Rhubarb because of the tail feathers? ;D

Oh and of course I guess it is just like calling your baby "apple" or "Sunday" lol "rhubarb" is right up there in the A list of names ;D (I do like the name actually ;D )

[farseeker]

Happy to hear you've found another little birdy-bub Kat. Aren't green-cheeks great? Trouble is hanging off the roof of his 'with Mum' cage at the moment, chewing on some bottlebrush flowers I put in there and trying to sing along to the music I have with his mouth full.

I love the name, and I'm sure you and Rhubarb will be great friends in no time.

Good on you Kat, GCC are so sweet, looking forward to the piccys. Are you going to have him/her dna tested. They do have beautiful maroon tailfeathers.

[rainbowfeathers77]

Thanks everyone
I think maybe somewhere down the track, I would like the get Rhuby DNA'd....just coz I don't know if I should refer to "him" or "her"....so for now, it's "it" ;D

[vankarhi]

It is not hard to dna them....trust me I did and survived........ I can send you a kit is you would like (Pauline sent me 3 so I could do my alex bubs) I have bought 10 more and I can probably spare 1 for you as I do not think Shrekie will have 6 more bubs......4 maybe but not 6. ;D

[rainbowfeathers77]

Oh I was just dealing with this issue in the post on avian sexing in the links section. I ordered a free kit but I don't think I'll get it coz it's all the way from america.
How do you dna yours???
Yeah I'll grab one! I can pay you if you like . Can you send me some instructions like how to do it and where to send it to and approx how much it costs??
I'll PM you my addy ok

[vankarhi]

All done Kat ;D
