Chocobo Problem. Please Help!

[Snowball]

I just went to check on my chocobo as I entered back into Sandy, and I got this message from the NPC choco guy (Hantileon) at South Sandy stables.

"I am terribly sorry, but it looks like the time has come to part with your chocobo.
Stardust Claw (this is what I named her) will be transferred to one of the Vana 'diel chocobo society farms."

Then he went on to say....

"Do not fret ; this will not be your last meeting. Stardust Claw will come to you whenever you call."

Then I received a couple of items.
1 VCS registration card, and 1 yellow VCS Plaque

But now I'm really confused. What does all this mean please? :worry:

I still have my chocobo whistle, and can call her when I need her, but there are still things I wanted to train her on, like her endurance and other things which ended up very poor, and she doesn't have a lot of strength and no speed like the original chocos! Isn't there any way I can still train her? :( :( I'm not going continue use of my choco in this poor state, especially the slow speed at which it runs!! :( :(

I then went to speak to the choco guy again, (Hantileon, at the choco stables) and he said to trade an egg to him if I want to start raising a choco!

If I have to start all over again, I'm not completely sure where to get an egg from.
I know that it's an npc in Ru 'Lude Gardens, but what is the POS and the name please?

No, you can't train your chocobo anymore. You'll have to start with a new one.
You can buy a new egg, or you can use your card, and a card of a choco of the opposite sex and get a new egg.
As far as the NPC that sells eggs:

EDIT: Moved to Chocobo Forum

The NPC is right below the AH at Ru 'Lude Gardens, a little mithra girl at the bottom of the steps to the right of the ones to get to the AH.

Okay, I managed to find it eventually. I decided to buy another egg, and I'm going to start again. I'm hoping this time I might get a different coloured one rather than the original yellow.

Just another thing though.
I still have my chocobo whistle too. Will that one work for the new one, or will I have to just chuck it away? :cool:

[Jei]

keep the whistle. You can still use it. Right now, it will call your old chocobo.

Once your new chocobo gets old enough, you'll have a choice to "register" it. Once you do that the whistle will call your new bird instead.

I have a question, I had to retire my bird early, with school and all I just didn't have time to take care of her, can I do the chocobo whistle quest and call her out still?

[Heartily]

I'm sorry, looks like you need to start over. If youn retire a chocobo the only
way to call it is with the whistle. You can't get the whistle without the
chocobo.

[Vyuru]

Ah, so if I get the whistle, and then retire my chocobo, I can call her out and keep recharging the whistle? That's good news, then all I have to do is take care of the chocobo until she is grown and then retire her for use as a mount.

[Jei]

Recharging the whistle costs 1,000 gil per use. Just fyi. It's not a free ride.
