We are a little apprehensive as to whether we can handle a blue and gold and realize that this is a huge step for us, but we have several months to prepare for our new arrival and we are doing our homework. We've ordered books and done lots of research on line. In addition we are going to be spending some time at the breeder's home. She's invited us to come on the weekends to spend an hour or so interacting with her birds. My husband, who's already retired, is going to go more often -- sort of apprenticing at the care that goes into her business. He volunteered and she cheerfully accepted the offer -- he'll clean cages and prepare food and generally hang out. We'll see how that all goes. When you are our age, you've learned to accept your limitations. after the apprenticeship and study, we'll know for sure we can handle the obligation -- all long before we bring baby home. trust me, this won't be an impulse purchase.
