First month with ZZero

[cflanny]

Wow what a month!! I am having so much fun and am so inlove!! He is just perfect in everyway he fits right in and is so accepting.

 

We are bathing very well sometimes he just sits on the perch and and closes his eyes under the water and other times he dances around and gets really soaked. I take him with me every day somtimes he gets wet other time he just sings to me.

 

He seems to be talking up a storm and I swear he has said Hello and Peek-a-boo I swear !!but he babbles alot and sings loud somtimes. Mostly hes quiet and hes so smart I like to nap on the couch for about 30 mins every afternoon when he sees me lay down he just quiets down and take a snooze with me, PERFECT

 

Play time is a blast We started trick training when I first got him home and in the first sessions he learned "Turn Around" "wave" and "Shake"!! but he will only do them on the training stand. when I put him on it he starts turning around and around I have to tell him NO we are gonna work on somthing else but its soo dang cute!!

At 11 - 12 every day is hyper time he flys flys flys so now I set him on his play stand and say "Ready,set. GO!!" and we race the hallway he does this over and over and we play hide and seek and he will hover go in and outta rooms and find me Such a BLAST!!

 

When I first brought him home I became very worried about my dogs they seemed so obsessed with him I thought I would never have them together. I worked hard on this situation as I wanted him to be outta cage alot and my dogs are glued to me. Well after hard work and patience we have now had several evenings all together and the dogs are doing great. I am still over careful and will remain so but my stress level is way way down . I actually let ZZero and my Shih tzu ozzy play on the bed together yesterday my other one just walks away.

 

Ok I know I wrote a Novel but I wanted to express how truly happy I am with my decision to get my new best friend!!

Thanks so much Cindy for the update on ZZero, he sounds like a wonderful grey and he certainly does look good from the pics you shared with us. I especially like the second one, he looks like he is contemplating that mouse in the foreground, you can just see the wheels turning.

What a cutie!!!!!!!

Your ZZero sounds wonderful, and you sound like a wonderful birdie mommy!! I hope the transition goes as smooth when I bring baby home in Jan. Did he warm right up to you, or did you have to work up to it?

Thanks you guys !! I love him so much {Love-00020113}

 

BlueKKiwi My transition went very easy I only met him once before he came home. My breeder was just excelent in his socailization he wasnt afraid of anything. I introduced him to the family all at the same level at the kitchen table and let him take turns coming and saying hi to us, so far he loves everyone in the family.

One of the reasons I chose him cause he was a cuddle bug and am so glad he has remained so! We hit it off right away but I let him do things on his time and tried to show him somthing different everyday so far so good . Congrats on a new baby in Jan !! you will be soo happy!!

Hey Cindy, I spoke to Millie, my breeder, yesterday, do so every Wednesday, and she said Sweep Pea, that's what we call her now because she is so sweet, or was!!! Millie has the 4 down to one formula feeding a day so now every time she opens their cage they rush her and this time Sweet Pea who is usually the shy one, was right up front!!! Millie says she is not so sweet now-- she is right up there with the rest of the "monsters". Millie is so great she tells me all about the babies. She has all their hatch dates down and weights and has them marked with bands, expect for Sweet Pea because she doesn't band the youngest ever. Just her system I guess. Millie luvs these babies and she says she is their grandma, I guess because they will be going to their parents once they are truly weaned. Anyway I hear about Sweet Pea weekly and its great. And yes I can hardly wait until I get my baby TAG!!!
