Poppy (aka Britney)

May 6th, 2012
Poppy (aka Britney)

Well we’ve had Poppy now for what seems an eternity, but in reality its been 5 months. She has settled in so well and is now a big part of our lives, she is so funny and happy to please (me anyway). She has become attached to me and has taken a slght dislike to Karen if we are in the room together.

She has been outside in the sunshine in the past few weeks but due to the horrible weather lately that was short lived. She loved the sunshine and i could see a real difference the outdoors had upon her especially after a full on shower!!

Her feathers are still very tatty but she has just started to moult so hopefully the tatty one will drop out and she will grow nice new feathers that she will leave alone. She still has the occassional pluck but nothing near to what she has done in the past.

Marley and Poppy love each others attention and they constantly chatter to each other. Poppy has learnt many new words but her favourite at the moment is “Pig”, she tends to use this after a really loud burp.

I’ve finally managed to download some photos of her which are from the past couple of months although she doesn’t seem to like the flash on the camera.


Poppy 3 Months On

Poppy 3 Months On

Hi and sorry I’ve not updated in a while, been working like mad.

Poppy is doing really well since her last update. She has moved into a double cage with Marley, the divider is still in though as he tries to dominate her. They have an ultra violet lamp above the cage which poppy loves sitting under and it’s having a good effect upon her feathers, she now has all her down feathers under her wings and she is finally starting to get feathers on her chest all be it little fluffy ones.

She had her first experience of the garden yesterday in her travel cage and seemed overawed by the goings on, I’m sure with the nicer weather arriving she won’t take long to be familiarised with things.

She has mastered plenty of new words and is a joy to have in the home. Poppy and Marley are very happy together and it’s great they both have the company of one another.


6 Weeks On For Poppy.

6 Weeks On For Poppy.

Well what can I say about her, she seems to have lived with us for longer than six weeks she is that comfortable.

I got her straight onto a pellet diet and off seed and she wasn’t any trouble, in fact I found her bag of seed last night and out of curiosity offered her a few bits, she immediately spat them out which was reassuring.

Her playmate Marley and Poppy get on very well and o we decided to get them a double cage to share, they also have shared out of cage time.

Poppy is a great talker and the things she comes out with are hilarious, she even had her own original “ho ho ho, merry crisps” saying for Christmas.

As most of you probably saw from our photos and videos of poppy she was really heavily plucked but she is starting to grow some feathers back around her neck, time will tell if she will be fully feathered again but if not who cares, we love her to bits and know that she loves us back.
