I am utterly exhausted, excited, in awe, ...just to name a few. ;)

I was able to pick up Ripley today. They had him on a Java Tree, waiting for me, and he did NOT want to be bothered, as he was happily munching on a banana. After filling out all paperwork, handing over the $$, we packed up the brand new cage, and brought in the carrier. I walked over to Ripley, asked him to step up. He did, quite readily, as if he knew. :) I then placed him in the carrier - NO problem at all.

He didn't say a word on the hour drive home. Before bringing him in I put my somewhat hyper female dog outside, and then placed the carrier on the kitchen counter. Oscar, my AMBull came down, and when Ripley saw him he hollered "HI!"...feathers standing STRAIGHT up. :eek: He had NEVER seen a dog before, that was obvious.

I had already gotten his cage ready this morning, before I left, so I quickly took out Hunter, put some Mac toys in , filled food bowls and water and homecooked goodies, and put him in his cage. :)

THEN I had the pleasure of putting together the new cage (Sam will be using it) all by myself. 3 hours later, LOADS of sweat, some not so lady-like language....I'm all done.

But now, without ANY further delay...please let me introduce Ripley. :D

Now excuse me...while I run back downstairs and stare in sheer amazement. :D
 
WOW!!! Wendy.. Either I missed something here , or you kept this very quiet!!

He is absolutely adorable:) Congrats.
 
Oh he is just beautiful and I love the name. I hope he didn,t hear the not so lady like language. HAHA. Lucky you:D:)
 
HE IS BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

omg! i am so excited! congratulations on your beautiful boy :D :D :D

He seems to have settled in nicely already :D

oh, i wanted to be the first one to comment :( i jumped out of bed when i saw the post on my ipod and ran to the computer :p good one guys -.- ;) hahaha <3
 
Oh MY!!!
Congrats!! He is beautiful. And Yes he has a huge beak!!!
Tons of fun and more stories coming now!!!
 
OMG! How beautiful! You must be so excited to have this new baby! I can't wait to read your future stories. Congratulations!
 
Hey, are you sure you didn't steal Salsa?? Uhm, nope! I just looked over and he's here, safe and sound :D. I think Ripley kind of resembles Salsa, though. He's clearly a 'husky' bird like Sals ;). And his upper beak pattern looks similar to Sals's.

That is SO COOL, Wendy. I'm immensely happy for you..as well as for Ripley :D. He's absolutely beautiful!!! And he looks happy in the photos, too. This is just too great for words :D:D:D:red1:

Wendy and Ripley, CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Thank you all so very VERY much. I am truly in heaven over here, ONLY to be rudely woken up when I checked my Jury status. I have to report to court tomorrow...and I am NOT a happy camper this very moment. :mad:

IF my number is called...I will act like a deaf mule...no habla Ingles...I mean "Ich spreche kein Englisch".

Please keep your fingers crossed for me that I can invade this obstacle....GRRRRR

I'll reply in more depth later...time permitting. :)
Again, thank you all for your support. It's SO MUCH appreciated. :D
 
Congrats!!!!!!! Good lookin' bird :)

Wendy, he looks fantastic! Greenwings are the best. Good luck to you and Ripley. Auggie sends his congrats also.
 
Now she'll have to create a new signature banner photo, a significantly LARGER one! ;).
 
Spectacular! What a doll. Makes me want one. Oooooh....maybe my old African grey will become a green wing instead. I do love macaws.
 
AHH HOW COULD I MISS THIS?!?! :mad: Stupid homework. Wendy I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!!!!! :D :D:D:D:D Did you keep this quiet? ;) lol CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

Ah, now that you mention it, it does kind of have your fingerprints all over it, Tab :D. So I suppose you'd better get to work on her new one now ;)

Now that looks REALLY cool! I have no doubt she will love it :). I knew space requirements would be far greater with that big boy in the picture ;). Superb work, Tab :D

That would be very neat but I don't think I have any good enough pics of them :confused: Only the ones in the gallery.
