Sounds like a dunker to me! I really have no idea why they do what they do, but Timber does that with certain foods. Just certain ones mind you, but some things always get dunked then picked at.
Good for you! Glad the decision is over and also glad Tango took to it immediately. You just never know what to expect with them. Sometimes they have irrational (or so they seem to us) fears and other times they are unfazed by what we expect to scare them.
What a horrible thing to hear! Those poor birds. As Greywings said though, it would be heartbreaking to bring a baby home then lose them to disease. That has happened to some of our members and how tragic it is! Hang in there...
There is no telling what Sukie will come out with. One of the great things about being a grey parront is how they are always surprising you. I've had Timber for almost a year and once in awhile he will say or do something that I know came from his past, since he hasn't learned it at my house.
Wow, what a disappointment that your arrangements fell through! I'll let those with experience answer your question. As for me, I'd probably go with the "mothers." At least Pearl would be in familiar surroundings with people she knows anyway!
I suspect that once he sees his cage is the same and everyone is in their place he'll be fine! I sure don't envy you, I really dislike moving! Hope all goes smoothly.
Hello and welcome to you and Bill! There are several threads on nutrition if you look for them. Nice going to get him switched to eating some pellets. Some of us are not so fortunate! I have a six year old TAG names Timber.
