Talking She's flown 3 times already since Sunday!

Hi all, I spoke with the breeder yesterday. Z has flown 3 times already! I am wondering though, how long before ashe starts to realize she's a big girl and can be weaned and come home? Any ideas? Thanks all!
PS she was on 4 feedings a day last week, before take off! LOL

That's great news!! We have a few new baby Grey owners here that I'm sure can tell you when their babies weaned.

All I know is what I have read; that once they fledge their hand feedings decrease rapidly and they usually wean anywhere from 12-16 weeks.

When Gracie started flying she went down in feedings very quickly! She went down a feeding every week. My little Gracie will be ready go come home next week!

I'm sure your baby's weaning process will go much faster now!

I am trying to remember exactly when Bubba and Ziggy both weaned. I believe it was around 16 weeks.

I can't wait until your baby comes home. I am so excited for you.
