i think willis is officially weaned! today will be his fifth day of me not feeding him. he's maintaining weight and eating on his own...the only problem i've had with him is he will only eat if i'm in the same room as him lol. if i'm gone...he doesn't eat...if i'm in a diff. room...doesn't eat...doesn't matter if he's in his cage or not, he will not eat unless i'm in the room. anyone else have this happen? so i'm still not able to go anywhere (for now lol) but at least he's eating on his own!! he's growing up soo fast! today was also the first time outside with his aviator...he LOVED it!!! and only small problems getting it off...but no bites like others have experienced! i'm so excited!!:woohoo:

Adaya's been off her formula for just over a week now and doing just fine the first couple days she would cry so I'd make her formula she take one little mouthful and spit it out. after three days of this when she cryed I woud just cuddle her and sing lulubys to her and she would stop crying. then I would give her somthing like a grape and that would get her started and then she'd eat her food. I think they just need that extra reassurance when they aren't getting formula anymore. She's doing great but I must say she's allot smaller than my Tyco she only weighs about 427 gr Tyco weighs a whopping 570grams big difference Oh yea almost forgot your bird will not starve itself he will eat eventually weather you are there or not. If he gets hungry enough he'll eat. How much does Willis weigh. And Catlian how much does Echo weigh. just curious.<br><br>Post edited by: Tycos_mom, at: 2009/05/20 02:57

willis is around 420g. he's been about that since i got him. when i first stoped feeding him formula he was at 397g or so and has slowly been going back up the past few days. he was 420g when i weighed him this morning when he got up. i think he's gonna be on the smaller side lol
