Countdown to a new Green Wing

[CPT4Wheel]

Hello everyone,

My name is Kendra and I am playing the waiting game for my new Green Wing. He, or she, hatched Friday, February 3rd. He, or she, will be pulled from the nest at 4 weeks. I'll have to wait until then to get a picture as the breeder doesn't disturb the babies for the first 4 weeks while they are with the mother and father. Then, approximately 2 weeks after that, I can start making the 3 hour drive to start helping to feed and bond. As of now, it looks as if he, or she, will be coming home around the 21st of April. I have first pick of the clutch which will be DNA tested and I've asked for a girl. Should there be a girl, her name will be Meera. Should there only be boys, he will be Jojen. (Unless I change my mind about names between now and April 21) Until I know for sure, I'm just going to refer to HER as Meera.

Her cage is here

Today, I went to the store, ordered, and made arrangements for the PVC pipe to be cut to the specifications that Birdman posted for his Macaw play stand.

Now, all I need to do is start filling that cage with toys, build that playstand and wait.

Do you possibly have a link to the PVC stand instructions?

I'm totally smitten. Everyone who has had green wings say the same thing: they're sweet. I have green wing issues now! Congrats!

I can only imagine your anticipation! Green Wings are phenomenal parrots, you are so lucky to have some interactions during the early stages. Really nice cage, he'll be right at home!

Looks like the perfect spot for a macaw cage.
Excited for you.

I've got a baby greenwing myself these days... she's 16 months now... all play all the time. Stops for a few minutes of cuddles, then right back to playing...

My cage is very similar to that one. Good choice. They need the room. Double macaw cage with the center divide pulled out.

And of course, my Maggie was my "go everywhere" bird for 17 years. I couldn't stand being without greenwing when I lost her...
