We bought the cage and everything back in August/sept. but almost backed out because it does get depressing looking at an empty cage, however, when the breeder left a message that there was a new hatching (in October) I wasted no time and put the deposit down. i did not get to meet my Oliver until he was 6 weeks old, he picked us out. we went as much as possible to bond with him. we were able to bring him home at 10 weeks.
it was so hard to leave him in the cage the first day.
he started talking around 31/2 4 months. He says pretty bird and you're good boy, he gives kisses and then says thank you. he is starting to say other things too that i can't quite make out yet.
he loves cucumbers, broccoli and apples.
he wants whatever i'm eating
but he knows to ask first by nodding his head
there are times when he frustrates me but he makes up for it when he is hanging upside down in his cage laughing at who knows what.
he loves to sit and watch t.v. with me, especially if i make him popcorn, lOl
he is just the best!!!
Our Casey is five months too! (she hatched the end of October) 
I think I can feel Casey's, but right now she is wondering why I am feeling her!
