As most of you already know if we are friends on facebook, Jared and I decided to get a new addition to our family. We finally decided that Tico needed a wife! We have always wanted to get two birds, that way they could have each other when we aren't at the house. Over the weekend, we took Tico to get his wings and nails clipped, so he was all prepped and ready to go to Wyoming for the holidays. While we were there, there was a beautiful baby grey sitting quietly in her cage while the other birds went wild for attention. We asked if we could hold her and it was love at first sight. She was super cuddly and didn't care who snuggled up to her. Just Precious! She more than pulled on Jared's heart strings, if he could he would have walked out of the store with her that day. We went home and just couldn't stop thinking about her. Jared even looked into getting a better cage, names, even information on having two birds bond with each other and mate. (Can you tell he was excited haha) We took Tico to the bird store on Tuesday to have a blood test done on him so we can have the certificate saying what gender he is. He didn't like that in the least bit. But it gave us a chance to bond again with the bird we are hoping to get, and pick out their new future cage. We started cleaning up our house as soon as we got home. Did some deep cleaning and we threw quite a bit out. It's amazing how much stuff you acumulate when you stay in one spot for a while. We also listed some furniture on craigslist to make more room. We can't wait to bring our new baby bird home. I would like everyone's input back on this..Kiwi is one of the options we have for the name of the baby bird, what do you all think?

Tico on the left. Baby bird on the right. I love that they are getting a long!
As you can see the baby bird's tail is still turning red. She is fresh out of the nursery. It will eventually be bright red like Tico's. Her eyes are still turning yellow too. Right now they are still all black.
They are a lot smaller than they look...Wish I could say the same for myself hahaha!

Not really into birds, but she seems like a doll!!! Is her name really Baby? Or are you renaming her Kiwi? How exciting. Hopefully you have her home and accustomed, just in time to haul her to Wyoming ha ha!!!
I'm not much of a bird person either but I think it would be great for Tico to have a wife! She is a pretty bird and I LOVE the name Kiwi for her! So cute!!!
