Lady, day 10

June 23rd, 2010

It’s been a difficult and an amazing 10 days! Last Tuesday Lady was rushed to the vet for PBFD and Psittacosis tests. The visit to the vet stressed her, which resulted in her plucking quite badly, however she has now settled in really well, is talking, dancing and flying about. Lady is much more relaxed and confident around us, and she is now showing her funky little charactor. I received the PBFD results today, which were negative, and now await the results of the Psittacosis test.

I am so pleased with the progress that Lady has made in the past few days, and now feel that she will go from strength to strength within our family.


Sammi Update

June 23rd, 2010

Thought I would write another blog on Sammi. There isnt anything major to share but he has really settled in well and seems to be showing his personality more. He will allow me to tickle him much more now and will come running over to me in his cage for a scratch. He is a master at opening his cage on his own so Ive had to put a quicklink on to stop him coming out as he pleases!

He steps up lovely for me now with his perch so getting him back in his cage is easy. He seems to be warming to Tweak although a week or so back they were out together and he attacked her, more out of fear I think. She wasnt hurt but its not something I will be doing again in a hurry! Dil has mentioned getting another Pak-O-Bird so Sammi can come camping with us too! I think he would really enjoy that as he seems to love being out on his harness.

He adores his morning toast. He will sit there til every crum has gone. He doesnt seem as keen on mash or pellets as Tweak is but he will eat it, maybe Im doing wrong comparing the two of them like that? I made the mistake of leaving him unattended in the bird room a few days ago. I thought he would just sit in the tree or on his cage, how wrong was I! I came back in to total mayhem, he had destroyed a full roll of kitchen roll, chewed at my doors and made a general mess! He looked like he had alot of fun, and the mess was easily cleared so no harm done :0) I will be going to the stafford show in July and getting him a few new wooden toys for his cage.
Will keep you posted if anything exciting happens and will get some more photos of his mini adventures :0)

Roxy Update!

It has been sometime since i updated you on Roxy we have had a few things going on but she is doing well, we are still trying to teach her to step up which she is kind of getting the hang of when she want’s too but still likes to fly off and land where ever she likes, but we will get there with that.

She is enjoying her soaked pulses and also her fruit, tucks into it as soon as you put the bowl in! Little Piggy!!

Will get some more photos of her and post them up, but she is doing fine :)


Roxy Settling In And Enjoying A Tickle!

Roxy Settling In And Enjoying A Tickle!

Roxy has been here over a week now and she is still a very quiet bird, she likes her own space in the cage but also loves coming out and having atickle, she still tries to fly straight off and land on any items around the house other than the play stand, and she still is not keen on stepping up which we are working on and hoping that will change in due course.

Here she is having a tickle with Rick –

June 14th, 2010

Sammis nails were getting rather long so I got Dil to get an emery board and give him a bit of a manicure. He actually seemed to enjoy it!!
