New BABY...

[PetriTheGreenCheek]

Well, here he is! Our new baby!!! Our breeder sent us a picture of him and we're just thrilled. Last Saturday we went to the Cuckoo's Nest to pick him out, and I'm so exicted I can hardly stand it!

Of course, being the lovely step-monster () that I am, I decided my husband and step-son could help name our new baby. So, I complied a list of 'acceptable' names, more or less related to all things green.

I left one name on there that I really loved that had nothing to do with green, which was Obi. I thought for sure it would win! (After all Obi-one-kanobe, or however it's spelled is my step-son's favorite Star Wars characters), and it is also of course a karate belt! I thought for sure we ahd a winner!

And then of course, my husband and step-son decided on Pickles.

Pickles.

How many Ekkies do you know named Pickles?

Trust no men in decisions like what to name your babies.

They'll always pick the briney, salty, warty ones.



Ah well, I made my bed. Pickled little Pickles it is!

sorry about the name LOL... yeah, wouldn't name an ekki boy pickles but i guess it's too late.
however, i think you did well on this decision - showing your "good-willed" nature

She's totally amazing and her place "The Cuckoo's Nest" is amazing too. After meeting a few 'too eccentric' breeders we were totally excited. Everything looked and smelled CLEAN and her birds are all SO beautiful. I was so impressed I even posted about the whole experiance "What a GOOD Breeder looks like."

My husband's even excited about getting a Macaw one day- and you can be sure we'll he getting himor her from Vickie as long as she's in business.

More pictures to come as he grows!

You'd never believe.....

Now my step-son is set on Kiwi. Isn't that just a love-bird name? I thought it was... and I'm soooo tempted to tell him it is... either way, we need to decide.



Anyone know how to convince an 8 year old without overt bribery?!
