Yep will do as time permits.  Busy time with 3 hour feedings and with family 
here for Christmas ...
She (Tinker, the baby African Grey) is for sale so I see no reason for 
sexing. If I were to keep 'her' for breeding, I'd have kept her with her 
parents for much longer ... as luck will have it, I've concluded had we done 
that she'd would not have lived.  It appears the parents weren't doing their 
job.  She came out of the nest underweight and about one week (as best I can 
determine) behind in developement.  And me, who has never hand fed before.  
Claire, Fran and Bird Talk certainly got me through the rough times.  We're 
almost outta the woods now ... still can't get too comfortable.  Learned a 
"ton" about birds in the process.

Photo?  Yep ... being developed with Christmas pics.  'She' was born on 
Thanksgiving after 2 + years of trying ... wotta Christmas!  I don't think I 
have your address ... can you email it to tomweiss@eworld.com?  Thanks.
