kave70 Posted May 8, 2012 Posted May 8, 2012 We brought Sam to visit with Filbert at the bird store this weekend. He avoided a bit, but seemed OK with him. If the perch was longer, I'm sure there would've been more space between them, but I was happy with the interaction. Here are some photos :-)
Ray P Posted May 8, 2012 Posted May 8, 2012 Filbert looks awesome and so does Sam. New buddies. When does Filbert come home.
judygram Posted May 8, 2012 Posted May 8, 2012 What a beautiful crest Filbert has when raised, looks like the interaction was positive, yes when does Filbert come home with you.
kave70 Posted May 8, 2012 Author Posted May 8, 2012 Filbert is still on formula 3X a day, so it's estimated sometime in June. Until then, we take Sam with us everytime we visit. Sam also hangs out with a grey there, named Simon. Simon is about 10 months and he and Sam are really friendly towards each other. We've seen such positive changes in Sam since bringing him into the store to socialize with birds and lots of people.
Greywings Posted May 8, 2012 Posted May 8, 2012 Nice following your search for a buddy, Filbert is an exquisite Too.
katana600 Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 Here I came in to find out about feeding our parrots filbert nuts. LOL. Your Filbert is much more interesting and entertaining. What an awesome pair. I love the designer look where one is bright the other is grey on their opposite body feather parts. Filbert's bright crest gives him panache, he is rockin' the mohawk look. I love how you are introducing them and preparing for a peaceful coexistance in your home. Great photos, thanks.
Greywings Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 Remember if it just dosn't work out Filbert can come live with me! <: beak smile
Acappella Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 I keep clicking of the close-up of Filbert because it makes me smile every time. Between the beaky grin, the mohawk feathers and the food covered beak he looks like a cartoon character brought to life.
katana600 Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 I keep coming back to look again too. Ya'll really need to quit being so wonderful with your photos and descriptions of other birds because I am getting weaker against the multiple bird syndrome. What a beautiful pair these two will make in your home.
kave70 Posted May 9, 2012 Author Posted May 9, 2012 He is adorable, isn't he? SSSHHHHHHHHH.... don't tell Sam I said that :-)
JeffNOK Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 Love that expression on Filbert's face in the close up. It's like, "Here I am!". I doubt I will ever have a Too but it is great to enjoy them vicariously through this forum.
