Issac Week 19

[Elvenking]

Not too much new going on with Issac over the last week. I made him some of this 16 bean mix I found at the store (minus the flavor packet). He seems to like beans. I filled a little dish for him and he went at it for a few minutes. He is still going on his formula for sure though. He did also like this little birdie kind of omlette I made for him that had egg, broccoli and carrots in it. So he's branching out.

 

One morning, I took him in my room because I still wanted to lay in bed for a few minutes. He was super sweet. I had my head on the pillow and he would come over and bend his neck down for scratches by my head. So I would scratch him. Then he would make little cooing noises and do it again. He wanted tons of scratches and it was so cute to see him in such a cuddly mood.

 

Other than that, he still enjoys hanging out on my shoulder. That reminds me, it's currently snowing little birdie down feathers. LOL. I am sure you can imagine. He will be preening on my shoulder and then after a while, a big flutter, then a miniature snow storm of tiny fluffy feathers rains down. So a bit more vacuum work for me.

 

That's really it for this last week. He's is trying to make new noises and is babbling a lot. He is gorgeous as always and my wonderful little friend. We shall see what comes. <br><br>Post edited by: Elvenking, at: 2010/03/29 18:56

Hey thats a great idea! The little bean packet. I have seen them at the store too, just never "clicked" i guess that I could make it without the season packet.

 

did you make the toy in the picture with the paper party cups? Looks cool

 

Glad all is well! Thanks for the update

[Elvenking]

Yeah...the 16 bean soup package was great. And ditch the flavor packet for sure, that is where all teh sodium comes from and not good for birdies. I haven't gotten my red palm oil yet, but I was told by Dave that it's a certain hit when you put some over the bean mix. Can't wait to give him something made with it. I love to see him eat new things.

 

Formula is still his favorite though, and I still find it hard to believe that one day he will push it away. You should see his excitement as soon as he sees the pink cup I mix it up in. It's a certain flight to me with tons of 'beep' sounds like the microwave makes when I warm up the water. It's like birdie crack.

 

Oh yes, I did not make that little cup toy, I was the fool who paid 5 bucks for it...lol. I am sure it is a very simple thing to make. <br><br>Post edited by: Elvenking, at: 2010/03/29 21:37

Issac sure sounds like he's coming along and getting a big boy - eating his beans!! That'll make him grow big and strong!

You have such a wonderful relationship with Issac and I love the weekly updates on how he is progressing, no wonder you two are inseparable, let the good times roll.

I can't help it, everytime I see him looking at me, I am the happiest guy in the world. Sometimes I still cannot believe I finally have my own African Grey. It's amazing.

[JungleDreamz]

I do the same thing, I will just like sit back and think, "OMG, I FINALLY have an African GREY!!!" So I know exactly what you mean, And I have had calypso a year now! Well she is a year old, and I got her at 4 weeks, her hatch day is March 9th, So April 9th I will have had her a year...lol, But ANYWAY, I still to this day think that every once in a while.
