Hello all,
Let this note tell all FIDO PARROTS conference people are super people.  I've 
recently had fertility trouble with my 'proven' breeding pair of African 
Greys.  After 3 years and much advice given here, they have given me Tinker, 
now a three week old chick.  I've received phone calls, post mail, E-mail, 
and numerous posts here.
To those who have helped ... Tinker seems to be doing well.  The 1/2" band 
did go on easily at 3 weeks of age, 'her' weight matches the average weight 
for a female according to ARBC weight charts.  Her towel covered brooder is 
controlling consistently at 82 F.  She is taking 5-8 CC per feeding of Kaytee 
Hand feeding chow.  The first feeding she took only 3 CC.  She was naked as a 
AG bird but now is developing fuzz in one day ... faster than a Chia Pet.
A special thanks to Claire Conner who has had trouble recieving e-mail from 
me; yet kept the faith.  And to Fran Warwick who tolerated my never ending 
stupid questions and phone calls ... wotta support group!
