Here are some pictures I took of Teluhla yesterday... she is sooo sweet

Hello all. My baby girl Teluhla is still at the pet store. She is sooo cute I can't wait for her to come home. She is 10 weeks old and has started being very picky about her food, she really only wants to play with her formula and wont eat more than about 20 or 30 cc's twice a day. Last night I tried to feed her and after about five minutes I got her a little bowl of pellets and seeds and she seemed to be much more interested in that then the formula. She really only chews stuff up and never really seems to be getting full, her crop isn't full like it used to be when she would eat her full 60cc's. I am new to the bird world and sometimes when I am visiting her I don't really know what to do with her. I hold her and pet her and cuddle her but I am nervouse about playing with her because I don't want to hurt her. How do you all play with your birds, when should I expect her to be able to come home. We have three dogs at our house, one is a big boxer, how should I plan on introducing them to eachother? I have a million questions about her and I just want to be a really good mommy and I want her to be happy. Any suggestions on being a good bird mommy would be greatly appreciated. Thanks-Aly

I am glad to know that the weening process is different for all of our little birdies. My baby teluhla is about 10 weeks old now and she will peck and nibble at her seeds and mostly just throws her pellets around her little room, but she has been resisting formula recently, she had been eating about 60cc 2x daily and now she only wants about 20 or 30 2x daily. Her crop is never totally full and her keel bone is still pretty prominent. Everone says she is healthy, just a little skinny, and she is still gaining weight. She just can't come home untill she gets a little more chubby! I want her to eat all she can so that I can bring her home, but I want her to be healthy more...

I am the proud first time mommy of a nine week old little girl cag. She still is being weened so I am anxiously waiting to get to have her with me whenever I want. I go and visit her everyday at the store where she lives and I even get to help feed her and play with her every day. She already is learning how to step up, she just is still pretty wobbly! It is so cute!!!!
