baby squeaks

[Teluhlasmom]

Hi all

Yesterday the "bird lady" at the pet store said that Teluhla could come home, however she is still on formula. After talking to Joe I decided to leave her at the store while I am at work, but she gets to come home at night and have some time at the house with the whole family, as well as some time out of her brooder and in her cage. Last night was her first night at home, and she was an angel! She crawled all over my husband and sister, gave them eskimo kisses and snuggles, and even tried to give one of our dogs kisses. She is super affectionate. I love it! I was wondering if everyone elses birds make a little,peep/squeak noise a lot. She does it all the time, unless she is asleep or climbing all over her new cage she is making little baby noises. Is that normal? She also makes a clicking sound with her beak, is that ok? She is not really interested in her formula anymore. When I picked her up at the pet store last night she only ate about 10cc's and so when she got home I warmed up some human baby food and mixed in some pellets and she really liked it, but she doesn't ever really seem to fill her crop. Eventually she was just sucking off the baby food and spitting out the pellet, little stinker! Anyway I would love to hear any advice about babies. Thanks-Alyson

The babies are so adorable and yes they do make little noises and the clicking sound with the beak is normal, they usually do that when they are going to sleep, you know you have a contented grey.

Ah babies. Mine is making all those wonderful baby noises too.Every day she is getting more and more confident. Did you notice her grabbing your finger and trying to feed? Mine is doing that.

 

Anywho, congrats. I am sooo excited for you!

Yes the squeaking is normal for a youngster, and the clicking noise is also. There is a grinding noise that's different from the clicks and that usually means nap time. You're right on course.

She sounds so perfect! I am super happy for you. From the sounds of it she really loves both her mommy and her new family. Have fun and enjoy her sweety. You have earned it.
