Falconeer

yeah. By they way, can someone make a sticky in this Nursery section with this info and other feeding instructions? This will save the lives of many babies in the future.

$20.00 for a SPOON???? I can get gold spoon for that price in UAE. I am gonna try and have a metal shop bend me a spoon tomorrow that looks like the one in the picture!:woohoo: :evil:

WOW amazing. We have angels for pets. Early warning syste,

One question: My baby Is 9 weeks old from the pics I see. It has been 3 days with me. But according toi the 10/11 week picture, he is not growing the fur/feathers fast enough I think. Maybe he is only 8 weeks then? I am feeding well I know that. He has learned to move and all and even climbs on the box I keep him in. So now I have kept the box in the cage. Any idea?

Okay all, just pray no infections or anything. I am scared to put food in the crop now with the incision and all. I got the antibiotics and all, but still...

you mean on my baby "Friday"? Or this comming Friday the 25th of April? :blink:

I think I will get one right away!

Hi, After my experience today, I am making this post to warn all those NEW bird owners, who bought un-weaned birds, or just decided to raise one on their own. I was feeding my new baby, Friday. Friday has a habbit of biting on the tube as usual. I made sure the tube was tight, but never thought this was possible. I was simply squeezing the syringe and I saw food dripping out the other side of his mouth. I looked at the syringe and the tube was GONE! I thought maybe I squeezed too hard and the tube is on the floor. I looked everywhere, felt his crop, broomed my floor, moved the furniture to look for the tube, but nothing. Called my vet and got an appointment for the evening. Then I turned to the net and started reading. Then I found a website that mentioned to use a LONG tube instead of a short one (I felt really stupid at this point and really sorry for what I had done). I called the vet and rushed there. Thanks to Judy and lovemyGreys. Finally, a doctor did a minor surgery on my baby and got the tube out. Also, he told me the tube I was using was too thick for a bird Friday's size. He gave me some good tube and syringes to use and anti-biotics too for the next three days. The baby was not screaming/crying a lot after the surgery and was very quiet. Now after an hour, he is all normal again. The stitches, the doc said, will come out on their own in a few days, or I can go see him again. Thanks for reading!

OH CRAP!

No this was one of the decent work of my baby. Ususally it is brown with white and water parts and is pasty. The color is probably due to the prune sause and apple sauce I am giving it with his formula. It is for infants. LOL everyone has so much to say here.

Good Idea, but again, how comfortable is it for the bird? I think it will ruin the look of the feathers.

Hey it was not like this the day we got him. This is after 24 hours.

LOL JUDY you are in the mood today. I did have that idea earlier, but kept quiet. Will do right away! lol wait till the Admins see what we are cooking here. Falconeer.

LOL Judy you nasty girl... I feed my baby Gerber baby sauses apple and prune and carrot sauce. So the poop is multicolor depending on that daoy's flavor. I am more concerned about the texture. His is pasty not like solid noodles. Is that okay?

Hi. Most of you might be wondering why Falconeer is always so interested in Poop. But I guess what comes out tells us a lot about what's happennin inside. So, what is baby poop (say 6 weeks to adult) look like? I know that a 14 month old poops green noodles. LOL.

Alex was the most famous gray in the world!

The germs from your mouth will kill her MUCH faster than the seeds. Seeds can kill a bird of over weight and cholestrol in say 20-25 years maybe... Germs... in about 24-48 hours.

Thank you soooo much for such great pics. These will help a lot of us understand how they grow.

Two months ago, I remember seeing a sweet friendly Gray at my Vet's. He was there for a month. I asked why and was told that the Parrot had vitamin defficiency resulting in missing claws. Hope this helps. Please check the diet. I THINK it was vitamin A and B-complex. Again, I am NO AUTHORITY on this. Just some information I had and thought of passing it on to you.

Mine came from South Africa (apparently) and the band says '02Dennis' and then along the vertical '93'.

I am a good citizen... I voted too!:silly:

Hi, I make Dennis hot food every meal. He loves anything hot. This way I can feed him whatever.

Hi All, I found something very informative about... Waster Matter we all consider a problem as Bird-people. But it tells us very important information about our best friend's health. This is specially good for baby bird owners. http://www.parrotchronicles.com/septoct2002/droppings.htm

WAITTTTTT Here is Dennis (again) playing with his favorite Toy... He does not like me touching his ball.
