Grey cheek # 5

03-30-2008, 12:17 PM

I am happy to say that a 5th grey cheek will be joining my broto flock.. and fingers crossed hopefully another pair next month... My new little guy or gal (he/she has not been sexed yet) will be shipping out to me in the next few weeks when it gets a bit warmer. I'll post pics as soon as I have them : )

I am SO envious! How many Grey-cheeks do you have now? Best of luck with your flock... and if you ever need a home for one, let me know

You have grey cheek parakeets? I also have one who is 18 years old. I have never yet met anyone that has one! How neat! How old are yours and where do you get them?

Congratulations of the new one! So glad he is going to be with you!

I don't have a Grey-cheeked parakeet; I feel in love with them years ago and have yet to find one

Cassie has some amazing luck, I'll tell you that much! Most Grey-cheeked parakeets are in breeding programs nowadays in hopes to build up their numbers.

I have a Golden-winged parakeet, which is part of the same family (Brotogeris). There are a few breeders out there working the Canary-winged, Orange-chinned, Cobalt-winged and Golden-winged parakeets now. You still aren't likely to find them in your neighborhood pet shop but they are definitely worth seeking out.

You should join the broto list on Yahoo -- LOTS of nice folks. Brotogeris : A friendly forum for the discussion of all aspects of breeding or owning Brotogeris.(Grey Cheeks, Canary Wings, White Wings, et

Ha ha I have 6 grey cheeks now...they have come from different homes around the US..I have breeding pairs and my first baby GC who I am happy to say will be staying with me. Ages range from 3 yrs to 12..I keep trying to add more and continue breeding to keep the species going.

Cassie -- I didn't realize that one of your pairs hatched a baby! CONGRATULATIONS! That is WONDERFUL news

You're so lucky to have come across the ones that you did... I'd love to have a cheekie one day in the future but for now, Pickle is perfect!

BTW -- I never heard back from the lady w/ the canary-winged 'keet. I'm assuming that she found a good home for her/him.
