Question Finally Meeting My Baby!

I am going to meet my baby this Sunday. I am so excited!. Now my questions are... What should I be looking for as far as behavior? Should the babies be outgoing? Cautious? Both? What if I choose my baby now, and in a few weeks his personality is completely different? Any and all advice you can give me is GREATLY appreciated! I am going to be buying him a toy to keep in his cage so we can take it home with us when he comes. Hmm..maybe I'll get a few!
Thanks for the help all!

How old is he now? It wasn't until Scarlett was about 12 weeks old that she started getting her own peronality and started being playful. And I did the same thing and brought her toys whenever I visited, I think it helps the transition to see something they are used to in their new home. Good luck and have fun!!!

I agree with Tiffany in that Ollie didn't really develop her personality until she was about 12-13 weeks old. If you're baby is younger than that, then it may be hard to decide what baby you want. Regardless, you'll love whatever baby you bring home!

You'll be fine! They are innocent little bundles of feathers. I like the toy idea. That will make the adjustment when he comes home a lot easier. In fact, if you buy a couple, you will have several "familiar" items in his cage. Greys can be a bit unaccepting of change or new toys. So this should help with the stress of moving him to a new environment. Good luck!

I've never had a Grey, but I would say just give him as much love as you can & you should be fine. Congrats!! And yes, please lots & lots of pics.
