Jayd Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 i have them on the floor with me at all they want to do is bite me?i turned the small upside and she screemed like i scared her to dealth....but after a few mins she was ok...now time to do the bigger one...upside down he will go....but why r they biting so much Why are you turning them upside down?LoL [to clean them]. I believe their playing, Maybe you might play with them separately...When they're out, let them explore put some small wood or plastic toys down, a small wiffle ball is a fun toy...Jayd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

judygram Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Its good to hear the babies are doing well but biting some, I would assume this is pretty much normal for they are exploring with their beaks and testing things out and if you stick your finger in their face then curiosity takes over but they should not be hard bites I wouldn't think. Maybe it is because you are turning them upside down but I don't think you have to worry about trust right now, that will come later and you will know soon enough if they like being on their back but I wouldn't force it. Thanks Dave for chiming in with your advice as Jay has been doing a great job but two heads are always better than one, Tanya is very lucky to have the both of you advising her or this would not be possible.

judygram Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Oh my I just saw the babies right after I made my post, they are growing so fast and look good, they are adorable and I can imagine that you are going to have a hard time parting with one of them.

Jayd Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Good morning Mama, Your doing Grey't keep it up. Sometimes the digital scales from Walmart have a piece of clear plastic on the battery's to keep them fresh, and they don't tell you to remove it , check the battery's, I took 2 back before some one told me...In the next couple of weeks they're going to start to change and look more like adult Grey's. In the next couple of days we'll start preparing for what's to come. I'll be posting a lot for you to read, some of the things I know you already know, will just go over them....Jayd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crossfit Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Jayd and the others, thank you so much for all this work. I am learning so much. Now I definitely know I don't want to raise babies!

judygram Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 I am so glad the other mother came forward with some food and bedding and she needs to take a more active part of her baby's life and give you the help you are gonna need in the coming weeks, now is the time for her to pitch in and be a great help to you. The babies are becoming more active and will be awake more and getting into everything to explore their new world. I can just see you playing with them and having such a good time, keep up the great work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayd Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 :DGet-er-done OK, it's house cleaning time, I'm sure you know about a "Bird safe house" It's no longer your home but your birds!!!LoL. Get some supply's, styptic powder for bleeding, apple cider vinegar for cleaning cages and food dishes and veggies. A carry-all to take your bird to vet and outside etc. Flight harness if you so desire. On windows and mirrors you can put "Sticky's" so your new flying babies don't crash into them, also big screen TV's can be a danger when there turned off, your babies are going to fly "Where no birds have flown before!". Tanya, if you would, I'd like 1 [or more] question a day from you. Hope you and the Twins are OK! Jayd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
