Hello. It's been a little while since I posted. Just wanted to share some pictures of what I think is my first blue Gouldian baby.

Thank you she is a darling baby.

I'm still kicking along, thanks, eventhough my 'baby' dog, is trying with some success to break me, lol.

How is your African Gray doing? No more escapes I hope(?)

Lol! No escapes. I've been keeping his wings trimmed. Every time he's escaped he seems to make a weekend of it. Last time I got him back he was with some college kids that found him. They told me he has a passion for partying, beer and macadamia nuts. Good thing he was there only a weekend! But was grateful they took him in.
Your pup is gorgeous! Bet he's great company. LOL.

I got a good laugh about your boy partying with the college kids...
What a guy, gotta love him.

My 'pup' just turned a year old last Saturday.
He's already managed to break my finger, and toss me up in the air with one great pull ( when he saw a dog he liked) to leave me to crash down on my back and give my head a good bang that left me seeing stars. Still love him though <3 the big lummox.....

OMG! ! He's a fairly big guy and at only a year old would be a handful! Only another three or four years of the goofy stage. LOL.

Definitely a Blue. Blue chick's are more gray then green. As it molts into adult plumage the colors will become very obvious.

Best of luck

cindy@debbie276 thank you. It's being a long time coming. Not wanting to breed two Blues together it was difficult to find a true split to Blue male that was compatible with my female. If he is indeed blue it means I got the combo right. :)
