Hello from South Florida! =)

Hello everyone! I'm new here. Yesterday I "finally" bought a Timneh African Grey. It's been almost 3 years in the making. My baby hatched 4-17-08 and will be ready to come home in a month and a half, maybe 2 months. I can't wait to set her up in the house. I'm still thinking of a name, a girls name. They don't know if it is a girl or boy, it cost $40 for a DNA test. I'm not too worried about it. I'm a guy and to me she seems like a little lady, lol. When I first laid eye's on her she stared me in the face and examined me for a while. Then she put her head upside down against the cage so I could scratch her head and neck. Such a sweet baby. That's why I could not resist buying her. I will take pictures soon and share with you all as I visit her through the days and weeks.

Congrats on you new baby & welcome to our forum!! Waiting can be so hard but well worth the wait for a lifetime friend. If you decide to get a DNA the company that runs them is in Florida and they only charge $19.50 so your pet store is making quite a profit on the buyer.. If you are not going to breed there is no real reason to know. I got the DNA on Echo because I just wanted to know. I just sent a DNA on my baby cockatiel and should have the answer before the end of the week. I want to know for the tiel so I know what to expect since she/he is now in the same cage as my male...
