Hey guys! So I am new to Meyer's Parrots but not to owning birds in general! I currently have a female Lutino Cockatiel and a Male Canary. I have had birds since I was a kid. I will be picking up my new baby Meyer's on the 10th, I am so excited! I've read and heard so much about these birds and even interacted with a Brown Headed Parrot last week. My little Meyers is a little over 8 weeks. He may not be completely 100% fully weaned by the time I get him, but that's alright, I use to hand raise cockatiels and other baby birds all the time... the breeder knows me well now and is more than comfortable letting me finish his weaning.
Here's a picture of my little baby and his parents, who are absolutely beautiful Meyers!! My baby's name is Avem, is a little over 8 weeks old, is about 7" already and is about 140 grams (baby weight still there hehe). Mom weighs in at 135 grams and dad maxes out at around 150 grams!! I think Avem will be a big beautiful boy once he hits a couple years old!!

Avem almost looks fully grown already! What a cutie pie. I love their yellow shoulders. Bet you can't wait! :)
 
WOW those are some BIG Meyers!! My 18 year old Meyers tips the scales at just under 130g empty. In any event, that is a beautiful baby you have!

I just noticed how DARK Avem's feet are!! Is that normal?? The darkest feet I've seen on other Meyer's is more like a med-grey color. Avem's feet are pretty much the same as his head! lol
