Right now he is on three feedings a day with fresh veg given every other day or so, and free access to pellets. I routinely see him sitting in the pellet bowl chowing down. I'll mention the water idea to the breeder and see what she thinks.

I see him flapping right now as I type this on the webcam that the breeder has setup in the brooder :) Plan is to bring him home in 3-4 weeks after he's been fully weaned! Him chasing the friendly neighborhood Splendid (who has since been moved out to a cage to prep for going home)

Some updates :)

Yep, his brother is also a greywing. Their sister is a turquoise and noticeably “brighter”

Green is coming in nicely :)

He's a cutie, what's his name? Do you know anything about his genetics, and has been DNA tested as male?

He sleeps a lot ;)

Weebit has moved to the brooder along with his siblings. That's a slightly older Splendid keeping watch on them ;)

Have totally heard their little chortles. It’s beyond adorable.

It’s a boy :) Genetics on parents show that all greywings will be boys (like his mama).

Local, about an hour away. Breeder is enamored with a varied daily chop and sprouting just about everything

Yep, s/he was pulled at two weeks :) One of a clutch of three, so s/he has some company. I think dark green as well. Looking to get him/her a blue friend in the future :) will post updated pics for sure!

She’s adorable

Meet Hemingway :) Gender tbd, but the name is locked regardless. Should be coming home from the breeder in mid-December.

Pretty sure that I follow your Instagram account ;)

Love it!

Seems to be the consensus :) I assume that it’s the same with disposition, generally speaking? With Linnies it just seems like it’s more an individual bird thing as opposed to a gender bias too much with temperament. Gender may honestly come down to availability from my breeder, but it’s good...

This is very useful :) I would definitely want to give the second one ample time to bond with me before they bond to each other. They would both be hand-raised, so hopefully that helps to cut down on the shyness factor; but I may keep the second one housed until s/he is a year old or so? It's...

It does! She absolutely sends them out for DNA unless the wee one has an obvious sex-linked trait.

I should clarify :) I've heard the way that Linnies speak on Youtube, and I'm all about just the few words here and there. I'm not expecting anything on the level of African Grey's, Budgies or Ringnecks. I adore their regular mutterings, but I was just curious if there was any real gender...
