♥ Robert's baby boy ♥

Monday, March 1st, right when Robert got home from work, we jumped into my car and drove down to Fresno, CA to pick up our new baby boy.
Then, drove all the way back---yes, in one night!

Welcome to the Campbell Family, Makiya!
(pronounced ma-ky-ya)
(playing on his gym eating a piece of dried banana)

He is a Jenday Conure which are very social, cuddily birds. I did so much research on these types of birds that I feel like I could write my own  book! He is only 5 months old so he's still just a baby! When he hits a year his colors will come all the way in with a bright yellow head, orange tummy and green wings with bright blue ends. He also will be able to whistle numerous tunes, tricks and even say words. They live 25-30 years so we will have him for quite a long time!

Needless to say, although it was an "anniversary gift" Makiya LOVES Robert. I get the pleasure of staying home with him but the moment Robert's voice is heard or as soon as he walks in the door Makiya flys straight to him! He is a sweet gentle bird who is SPOOOOILED! He has his own tabletop play gym and a nice big cage with tons of toys, ropes, perches, and more! He loves to eat fresh fruits and veggies which is fun to shop in produce for your PET! Robert is a proud "dad". He already has him potty trained and Robert loves to show off  the fact that when he holds him over the toilet and says "Go poop" that he will.
