Hello everyone!!

Hi guys,
Just wanted to say hi and introduce myself. My names Katie, I live in sunny Queensland Australia. My husband and I have 3 fids, 2 tiels called Murro and Mullani and a feisty Quaker (or should I say quacker) called Miroki. We have been umming and arring for a while now over what kind of bird our next fid would be, and we both always came back to saying we would love a Indian Ringneck. So last week we put down a deposit on a little blue baby (s/he is 30 days old today I think) and s/he is being hand raised for us by the breeder. I am going up tomorrow to see the babies, so hopefully I can take a few piccies of the little plucked chicken.
I haven't seen babies that young before so I am really looking forward to going up and having a squizz.
I love looking at all the pictures of your birdies that you have in the photo forum, I keep calling my hubby and saying "I wonder if that's what s/he will look like when s/he grows up!"
I am also a member of bird board, so to all those familiar faces I give an extra big hello and wave
Oh and I have a question to while I am here. The breeder is saying that I should bring the baby home before he fledges? Anyone got any suggestions on whether I should or not? Am not to sure if this is a good idea or bad idea because doesn't that mean he won't be weaned yet either?
thanks everyone
*waves again*
