Jayd Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Spock's condition is still the same...his body temperature runs higher than a normal Grey and he is definitely a carb freak. When he comes out of his cage in the morning, he eats his sweet potato smash which still consists of cooked sweet potato and organic peanut butter, (about 2 tablespoons), orzo pasta (about 1 teaspoon), split peas/lentils/ (about 1/2 teaspoon), black eyed peas (about 8-10) brown rice, about 1/2 tsp and then he finishes his meal with one Wacky Mac Routini (Spinach, tomato or beet flavor) and then goes for seeds/pellets. Within the next two hours, he will snack on 2-3 popcorn. Then, around two hours, he snacks on his smash. Our mobile home is over fifty feet long and he will fly this area about 15+ times in three hours, not counting Spock and Salsa plays Ace of the Sky. Now it is lock-down time...he will have his famous quarter piece of peanut butter or tuna sandwich. This is also when he is given his fresh veggies while he is put in lock-down (all fids are locked down at this time. We need a rest too) Upon release, he is fed his final hot meal which is similar to his morning feast but we add cooked veggies and occasionally Higgin's "Bon-Apetit" meals in place of rice and beans. He also snacks on good human food at our dinner table (he insists on his own plate). For a coaxing snack as he goes to bed at night, he gets a fingerful of peanut butter. He is very healthy, muscular and strong. He is also a big boy now with an after-bomb weight of around 460 grams. He still gets his medicine with a bite of peanut butter in the morning. During sleep time we always keep seeds/pellets in his cage along with his almond and 1/2 walnut a day. He gets 2 grapes or a chunk of apple every few days but he is waiting impatiently for apricot season. He gets very little fruit. He has 2-3 big bombs a day. We will be posting new pictures of the Spock and the flock soon. Jayd, Maggie, Spock and the flock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelly Yokum Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 sounds like all your birdies eat well. Also sounds as if you never leave the kitchen, I can relate. feed the birdies, feed the kid, feed me feed the birdies, feed the kid, feed me, then dishes, dishes and more dishes and do it all over again and again.

Jayd Posted March 31, 2011 Author Share Posted March 31, 2011 He sounds like a very enthusiastic diner! Why does his body temp run higher than normal? Sorry, I had a senior moment...we've been away and forgot that some don't know Spock...Spock or is known by some of the forum as the self-proclaimed "king of the Greys"...this poor guy has hypoglycemia for over a year now and his metabolism runs fast. They believe his liver is not producing enough sugar for the amount of insulin produced. So he eats carbs for the constant state of exercise he is in. If you would like to learn about Spock in his own words, go to either Spock's or Jayd's profiles and check threads posted. Thank you, Jayd and Maggie (and me too, King Spock!)

katana600 Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Wow, good job on getting Spock's weight up, that is fantastic. I was happy to see that you put a rest time in that busy day for you and Jay too. I don't know how you fit it all into your day, but am impressed that you do.

chezron Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I can relate to the endless chain of duties: fix food and feed birds, fix food and feed husband, wash the dishes, fix more food and... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
