About 16 years ago my Step father had a Congo named Napoleon who would toss food onto the floor to lure in his two Jack Russels. Once the dogs were there cleaning up, Napoleon would rush down his cage and chase the dogs off, biting and yelling at them. He would do this over and over again..... the dogs never learned.
Nice pictures! Welcome to both you and Babalu. Hope you stick around and share some more pictures and stories with us. This is a great forum full of information and friendly people.
And..... Thanks for taking in a rescue
OH MY! VERY handsome fella you have there! I love his bridge on the top of his cage, that is very cool. Nice to see he will wear a diaper for you too
Thank You so much for posting the pictures.
What type of perch do you have down low for him? Something besides dowel? I find those sandy perches with the varying widths are good for first learning. Also, those booda, comfy cable perches are good too.
Something not slippery
Hi Featherhead and welcome to the forum. You must get around to posting some pictures of Tattletale. We love seeing everyone's FIDS and hearing about all the trouble they get themselves into.
Loki is stepping up now without a second thought. All it took for her was to become more adept at perching like I mentioned earlier.
So how is the perching and stepping up going with your little guy?
(9 weeks 2 days old) Just a little update
Well Loki is starting to play hardball about her breakfast already! She only ate 1/2 her normal amount this morning and then dove straight into her mash dish She spends a good portion of her time up on the higher perches now instead of the cage floor, but still hasn't figured out how to climb down once she gets up there. She is now stepping up when asked and is as chatty as ever. I really think this lil girl is going to be a talker! I expect her first flight to be any time now
This is very sad indeed. A similar thing happened here near with me and the guy left his great Dane behind without any plans for him. If I were closer I would help out but I am more than too far away.
I hope they find good homes
I don't see anything wrong with your post (posts) and I don't think Judy meant any harm either. Please reconsider going back to lurking and stick with us
Thanks for sharing all those wonderful photos. I got a bit scared when I saw that B&G perched next to that little whiteface cockatiel hen though Eek! Lots of different kinds of birds there that day!
