CAG Posted April 2, 2014 Author Share Posted April 2, 2014 Couple pics of her sleeping on the back of the couch after dinner last night. Figure I might as well get a few good ones before she gets old. After just a couple days she is eating like a horse; when she sees that food bowl and thermometer on the counter she makes those baby bird noises like crazy and it's...mouth OPEN! It's shocking how quickly she can devour food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kins2321@yahoo.com Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 She is beautiful! She has come home quite young. How did you know how to feed her? Average birds come home at 16 weeks. Just curious! Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffNOK Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I love reading your updates. I can feel your excitement and that you are having a great time with your new bird. You may not believe it--but it gets better! This is just the beginning, and you are in for the ride of your life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katana600 Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 I can never get enough of those precious baby pictures. She looks so content and just perfect. I am looking forward to learning more about her as she grows. She has already captivated your heart, that's obvious. Congratulations on a smooth transition.

CAG Posted April 9, 2014 Author Share Posted April 9, 2014 She's 10 weeks and 3 days today. Things are going well. She's been exploring her cage, or at least the bottom of it! After lining it with towels I've put the perches, food/water bowls, toys and stuff only a few inches from the bottom so she doesn't fall; she's still a bit clumsy but she's learning. Also have a small cardboard box in there for her to have a little "house" to feel safe and sleep in. I'll be abundance weaning her and I suspect she'll start telling me, "Less formula Dad!" in the coming weeks. I've got some Harrison's pellets and Kaytee Fiesta food, she's been digging through those and figuring out there's a lot more to life than formula! Apparently she loves broccoli, carrots, bananas, and celery. The pineapple/banana juice I was drinking made her stop for a second, "Wait. This is definitely not water." She knows she has wings and boy does she use them! They don't do much good for her yet, though. Around 9pm she’ll start with the “wing ticks”, grumble a bit, and then a short time later…these ridiculous positions… I’ll get some pictures of her doing stuff besides sleeping next time.

Brat Birds Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 ADORABLE!! Go easy on the celery, the 'sting' can cause some trouble. Other than that you are doing great! Her leg looks sooo long in the last picture - too cute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aerial.2000 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 I can not get Marco to lay on her back at all .... and your baby looks so peaceful on her back. Anyone else's FID not enjoy being on their back? is it something I can try to train her to do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katana600 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Oh dear the sight of her sleeping peacefully just about opens the floodgates for me. She is such a beautiful baby. She is in a happy, loving home and is going to have a charmed life with you. Thanks for sharing those heartwarming photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
