Buster Update May 2012.

May 13th, 2012
Buster Update May 2012.

Buster has been with us for a while now and he is doing really well, his scabby bit has dried up on a few occasions but then he will have a pick at it and make it look red and sore, he had a pick at it a few days ago and it did bleed but nothing like it has done before.

He is one fussy bird! he will not eat his fruit unless it’s grapes, he will not eat veggie mash or pellets or warm animalzone cereal, he is a very stubborn boy, I did catch him while I was out of the room having a pick at the cereal so that is good I made out I didn’t see it ;)

He has had a piece of orange and we are putting fruit onto a kebob stick to see if he will eat more.

He is chatting a little bit more loves being out of his cage and always say’s ‘NIGHT NIGHT’ in a really deep scary voice!

A lady who fosters came and met him the other day and he took a instant liking to her she could tickle him and everything took me a few days! little flirt!

Anyway he is a couple of photos of him.


Meet Billy-Boy – New Rehome

May 9th, 2012
Meet Billy-Boy - New Rehome

On Sunday I went and collected a lovely grey called Billy, he is 7 years old and quite a funny big guy.

His old owners had made the very hard step to rehome him as she has now gone back to working full time meaning Billy was left on his own for long periods, he is a very independent grey and spends nearly all of his time out doing his own thing. She was very upset at letting Billy go but knows it for his best as he will have company all the time.

He is also a chewer! and will do something naughty and tell himself off while he is doing it so you know he is! Clever boy!

He has been with us a few days now and has settled in fine, I am just getting him use to a new cage as his old one was a little small, and he seems to love it! He has been in and out for a couple of days while i am getting him use to it, He loves his swing and will sit there swinging himself or letting me tickle him while he is on it, Lazy boy he loves a good tickle and will accept me touching him already which is great.

Today I am letting him sit out on his stand as he seems to have settled really well so will update the blog with how that goes soon too.

So far i have been asked “Do you want some peanuts?” a few times and him saying 1 a lot.

He is a lovely grey he loves his pink lady apples (the only apple he will eat) Banana in the morning, red grapes and a blood bath (pomegranate)

Here are a few photos of Billy … Enjoy x


Sad News And Busby Get’s His Forever Home

Sad News And Busby Get's His Forever Home

Busby has been with us now since March and Jen his owner was moving and having to go to work full time and she wanted Busby to be somewhere around people and not on his own so she contacted us, she was so upset when she handed him over and I asked her was she doing the right thing, he is such a lovely bird she had done so much to bring him round to a cuddly tame little grey, it was left that she would get herself moved and then let me know if she wanted him back as she missed him so much!!

The last contact I had with Jen was on the 22nd March when she emailed me in reply to me telling her how much Busby loved everyone and even the children! I emailed her back with some photos of Busby enjoying the sunshine outside in the garden but never heard anything back and thought she must be busy with moving.

Sadly I had a call from Jens Son who told me Jen had sadly passed away in Early April very suddenly which left all her family really shocked as she was quite well when I met her, I was very shocked also and i told her i would look after Busby and that is what I will do.

Jen was laid to rest on the 19th April 2012 and my thoughts are still with her family, she was such a lovely lady and when I met her she made a massive impression on me, she was such a strong woman and I will never forget her – RIP Jen i will look after your little man and keep his blog updated for you to see x

So Busby’s new forever home is right here with us and he fits in great as you can see below –


Buster 2 Weeks In – Making Good Progress.

April 24th, 2012
Buster 2 Weeks In - Making Good Progress.

Well Buster has been here just over 2 weeks now and he is doing really well.

He loves to come out of his cage and loves nothing more than sitting on the door of his cage watching the goings about of our busy house!

He has also been really good with his mutilating and has hardly touched it which is fab, he has been eating his Tidymix well, has tried Animalzone Parrot Cereal which I gave him warm with a little bit of pure Honey in it to get him to try it which he did :)

I also got him to have some warm Vita Tea which he REALLY enjoyed and was drinking it for about 5 minutes.

I can see a difference in him I think he is still pulling is feathers and down out but as long as we are making progress on the mutilating I am happy and we can work on the feathers at a later date.

Below are 2 photos one from last week and one from tonight can you see a difference?


Another Rescue – Baby Felix!

Another Rescue - Baby Felix!

Last Saturday I went to collect a lovely young grey called Felix.

Felix lived with his mum in a room in a shared house and after splitting from her boyfriend she was always out of the house so didn’t feel it was fair on Felix to be alone all that time so asked us to find him somewhere he can have company all the time.

Felix is a really happy friendly little guy he was 1 year old this month so still a baby and he is cuddly tame and has been spoilt! He really was loved by her and he loved her too! He eats Harrisons pellets and his fruit and veg.

He really is a friendly little grey and he is a treasure to look after and has the most cutest 2 pink toenails on his right foot!

Here is the little man, well he is a guy guy but little as in young :)
