I think wife and I are settling on Bertie. Play on words with “birdie” and it was also the nickname of King George VI who saw England through WW II.

Teach him lines from The King’s Speech

Welcome home little one! 🎉🎊🎈

Ahhh he is precious!! Bertie is an adorable name for him. Can’t wait to see how he settles in!!

Thanks all! We’re very excited to have him. Right now we’re giving him space to settle in and get used to his new surroundings. 🙂

So did you definitely settle on Bertie?

Yup.

Also—he seems to have immediately taken to my wife and my wife is smitten. Probably because of his last “mom” (breeder)

That’s how it goes…and how people end up with multiple birds

Tell me about it…. 😆

My wife set him down a top his cage to eat. Left the room. When Bertie was done, he looked up and saw she wasn’t there. He wasn’t having it and started calling out for her.

He hasn’t even been in our house for 24 hrs yet!

😆

That's great, the breeder did a great job socializing him, better this way than terrified of everything.

Yeah. The breeder has been great to work with and she cares so much for her birds and it really shows.

The breeder has been excellent to communicate with and we’ve been texting back and forth, with her answering all my questions and giving advice. And of course, she wants to see how her former baby is adapting to its new home. So I’ve been sending her updates and pictures, too.

I am sure she is very happy that Bertie is feeling right at home.

Sounds like he’s settling nicely!

Bertie is absolutely adorable! I'm glad he's settling in so well and so quickly!
Looking forward to TONS of pictures of him in the coming days.
