Re: Life will never be the same...
Congrats! Your little Timneh is beautiful! How did the vet visit go? I see you didn't have his wings clipped yet, are you planning on keeping him flighted now? I think that's cool, I have always kept my birds flighted. They've learned pretty fast and it gives them a great opportunity to exercise.
That cage he was in at first makes me so sad. It reminds me of my first parrot, also a Timneh, who came in a 18 x 18 Cockatiel cage in which he had lived for decades. He has since passed on, but we now share our lives with another Grey. You might want to invest in a HEPA filter, these birds make a lot of dust as you likely have noticed. The Timnehs seem to make a bit less than the "Congos" though, at least in my observation.
Hope the vet visit went well and he did not end up having any deficiencies. Looking forward to hearing about how this guy thrives in you care.
