Hi I'm a new Timneh mom as of today. I went to the bird show today hoping to come home with a Pionus and ended up getting a grey. I did the research, so it wasn't an impulse buy, I just didn't think I could afford a grey. My baby Escher is 10 months old and we hit it off immediately so I couldn't leave him/her there. I don't know if Escher is a boy or girl but will have my vet find out for me just so I can stop saying he if Escher is a she. I have a degree in art so the minute I saw this bird I knew Escher had to be it's name. Now all I have to do is resist the urge to spoil Escher rotten, that doesn't seem likely as we spoiled our dog rotten.
