Please Welcome Our New Baby Greenwing

[EnglishMuffin]

Aw Maggie What a lucky girl she is to have you now, Mark. That would break my heart having to see that sad look if I had to lock her up!

Joe I'm so excited for you to bring the baby home. I have been lurking your threads (and in fact the whole macaw section) without chiming in for months! Looking forward to seeing pics of your GW at home with her/his new family

Trust me, she plays that one up for all it is worth... BUT I can't have her playing in or around my mop bucket.

AWE i have never had a baby yet, so CUTE!!

 

[RavensGryf]

Joe, he is INCREDIBLE!!! Wow He already has so much character it's amazing. The facial expressions and all! Just a gorgeous baby. I love the lighter blue/green at the base of his tail.

I'm so glad you looked around and found this place. THIS baby was most definitely meant to be for you and your family.

 

[EnglishMuffin]

Oh my god how beautiful is he!? I love his gorgeous baby macaw noises. So cute! <3

 

[Anansi]

Sweet video, Joe! I was looking forward to this update! The baby seems to be bonding quite well with you guys!

And 15 weeks?!? Time certainly flies! Shouldn't be too much longer, now.

 

[thekarens]

So precious!

 

[4dugnlee]

How BEAUTIFUL! Everyone is sooo happy...baby and family! I don't know how you can stand the wait! The cage looks awesome and love the background music! Seeing all of your pics and videos makes me want a macaw (which is out of the question..lol...house is too small). You all must be sooo excited!!! Congrats to you all!

get used to it, because this one doesn't go away...

That's the truth! It's probably easier to count the times Zoe isn't using her tongue than the times she is using it.

That's the truth! It's probably easier to count the times Zoe isn't using her tongue than the times she is using it.

And to illustrate the difference, with the "beaky" species, they do the same thing, only it's not with the tongue. They are actually putting their beak on everything all the time...

So that's what's meant by "beaky." Beaky doesn't mean "bitey." It's the tongue thing, only with the beak. [Primarily: Scarlets, Buffons, and Militaries.]

Hello Everyone!!

Aww, Marybeth, He is MAJESTIC, seems very much like a "real" Hawk in his head moves, he was more mature, he really wanted the beads in Rissa's shirt and wanted to be on the top of her shoulder
(new shirt rules are now in place) He stepped right up on my hand when I "saved" him from Rissa's shirt LOL

You have to promise me a video of the pickup from the Airport, that would REALLY make my day
(and it would be the BEST keepsake for you)

And from this point forward I would like to be referred to as "Uncky GW Joe"

I will def. do that!! He was going to be flown out this week, but my silly job cancelled an event on Monday and rescheduled it for Thursday. So we just couldn't get a flight together that wouldn't have him sitting at the airport forever. So now the plan is next Thursday!

Again, you are awesome for taking the time to make those videos. They make my day... every time I watch it! Rizza is adorable and handles the birds so well! Your Greenwing is looking gorgeous!! He/She is SO FREAKING ADORABLE!! I love how he/she just lays in Rizza's lap. You are in for a treat when the bird comes home! Speaking of which, any estimate when you'll be able to take the baby home?

 

[Allee]

Beautiful video and update, Joe! Homecoming Day is getting closer. I know you are so excited.

 

[GW.Joe]

Hello Everyone, I had a problem with my "new post" count and completely missed some of these posts, I added likes to the ones I missed (looks like they are from about 7-10-14)

Joe, he is INCREDIBLE!!! Wow He already has so much character it's amazing. The facial expressions and all! Just a gorgeous baby. I love the lighter blue/green at the base of his tail.

I'm so glad you looked around and found this place. THIS baby was most definitely meant to be for you and your family.

Thank You So Much Julie, we are VERY HAPPY it is kind of unnerving though, Every time we see him he is "different" LOL
(like you are spinning a wheel and don't know what personality he will have in the end )

How BEAUTIFUL! Everyone is sooo happy...baby and family! I don't know how you can stand the wait! The cage looks awesome and love the background music! Seeing all of your pics and videos makes me want a macaw (which is out of the question..lol...house is too small). You all must be sooo excited!!! Congrats to you all!

Thank You So Much!! I have waited my whole life for this bird, Our place is small too BUT he will be with us on a lap or snuggles, or shoulder, OR even where ever we go outside of the home (I will be moving in a few years too)

He likes tactile tonguing everything

get used to it, because this one doesn't go away...

I LOVE IT, its really the birds only "finger", he feels everything, and you can see the look in his eye that he is sensing and picturing what he is touching (just like a human)

Beautiful video and update, Joe! Homecoming Day is getting closer. I know you are so excited.

Thanks Allee, We have a NEW update from today (Update Visit #6, Saturday July 19th, Baby is 17 weeks and one day old )

(Hint : Karen already found the "easter egg" LOL, she is a VERY Sharp Cookie)

More....To....Come...... (tonight?.....yes)

Hi Marybeth

Thank you so much, he is very cute, we realized tonight that the "feeding response" he gave "Daddy" in the last video @ about 6:35 is most likely the LAST time he will have ever done that

Doing the video was my pleasure !! I really enjoyed sharing that experience with you across the miles, meant a lot to me!!

YAY !! (A video of pickup @ airport ) REALLY Looking Forward to that PLEASE!!
But.... You forgot one thing....
I am now to be referred to as "Uncky GW Joe"

I am THRILLED for you!!

You are getting him on Thursday the 24th ?? :54::54::54::54:

Hi Ash, in video games (for one example) we have "easter eggs", things that are surprises, or not "known" to be there, they are placed to be found by people

Well Karen and Selestine found one about our baby

I'll be posting an update here tonight

HUGS

Joe

 

[Sterling1113]

Oh I understand what Easter eggs are! I was just under the impression the update was already posted and I had missed it. Haha. Good to know i didn't though. I'll be watching.

 

[GW.Joe]

But you didn't find it :11poke: :54:
