At this point, the website will be updated the following Sunday to show that the baby you are interested in is “On Hold". Weekly pictures of your baby will added to the website every Sunday evening and will follow in secession with each Sunday night's update. The date the picture was taken will be provided. Please note: The first picture's date is NOT the hatchday but rather just the date the picture was taken.
There is nothing but time between you and your baby so this a great opportunity for you to start getting things together like a cage, toys, food, etc. Here are some websites we recommend for these items:
CAGES: Bird Cages 4 Less • Windy City Parrot • That Pet Place
TOYS: (Atleast 3 toys plus a swing should be in the cage): Windy City Parrot • Petco • That Pet Place
RECOMMENDED ITEMS: Travel Cage (When picking up your baby, there is no need to bring a travel cage as a box will be provided to ensure your little one has a safe ride home.) • Play Stand • Cuttlebone • Sand Perch • Cleaner • First Aid Kit
FOOD: A bag of the food (pellet/seed mix) that your baby has been eating will be provided. The food they have been eating is a 50/50 mix of Roudybush Daily Maintenance Crumble Size and ABBA Parakeet/Lovebird Seed. You will have to purchase these two items separately and mix them together yourself.
We highly recommend having spray millet available for your baby as s/he will be nervous and may not eat as s/he should for a couple of days. I have yet to find a bird that won't eat spray millet so if s/he will atleast eat that, s/he will be okay until s/he gets adjusted.
