The Two Traveling Timnehs

They came together and the almost left together...well, not exactly but they left Beaker's soon after they got here to move on to their 'forever' homes. While here they blessed our nursery with their cute coos, and playful antics.

I want to acknowledge the breeder for the excellent job he did in giving these two baby Timneh African Greys (TAG) such a GREAT early start. Thanks!!!! This breeder is one of the fine breeders we work with through our Nationwide Parrot Place organization. Our breeders produce such wonderful healthy babies and then we have the pleasure and the fun of hand-raising, nurturing and socializing them through the fledging and weaning process until ready for their 'forever' homes.

Here are two snapshots of the Timnehs the day they arrived - at the time the TAGs were 4 to 4 1/2 months old. These are the oldest babies we have welcomed into our nursery. Most of the time our babies comes to us at 6 - 8 weeks of age but Timnehs have a specific breeding season (from Jan through June) so we were fortunate to find these two cuties for Claudia and the Newcomb family!

As I mentioned, Mojo and Timothy were not with us long, but long enough to steal our hearts. Here are four snapshots of go-home day. Yours truly (Elena) was behind the camera.
