Rocky Doing Great!

September 19th, 2012
Rocky Doing Great!

Rocky is doing great, he and my other Amazon are getting on well, and they both now preen each other which is lovely to watch :)

He still hates me, but hates the hubby more so. I will get tickles, and he will step up to me (with a bit of a fight) :P
I think he is beginning to understand that I have no fear, regardless of how much he bites or strikes. It took my other Amazon about 18 months, so I’m not phased at all. It’ll take as long as it takes. He’s pretty good though, and he does make me laugh, especially when he gets all excited and charges at me, then blows me a kiss then says what??!!
Such a cheeky boy!!!

I’m really glad he gets on with my other Amazon, it really does make a difference, they have their moments, but overall they make a lovely couple :)

Oh, and he’s now over 600g in weight :D
The goal now is to try and get him up to 650g :)


Ruby – Little Madam!

Ruby - Little Madam!

Ruby is doing great, and not a lot to update on her really :)

The other day I decided to bring her into the lounge for some TV and some cuddles, which she seemed to enjoy. She was whistling and dancing away :)

We we’re both enjoying some quality time together until she decided to do the biggest POOP all down my jeans!!!
She must have been saving that one up for me!! I had to rush off and get cleaned up while she sat watching the TV :)
The little madam!!!

Ruby has also had a cage full of new toys this month, which she seems to be enjoying.
She’s such a little sweetie :)


Lady The Destroyer!!

Lady The Destroyer!!

Lady is doing great as usual :)

She’s had a whole load of new toys this month which she has enjoyed. In fact she’s probably enjoyed them a little too much!!!
One of the toys was a deep stainless steel foraging bowl which dangled from chains. I thought this would be great to put some chewable wooden shapes in for her to chew……
SHE CHEWED THE METAL INSTEAD AND BROKE THE TOY!!! :o
It’s now just a pot which sits on the window ledge with wooden shapes in it instead.

Last weekend I added some ceiling toys to the parrot room, which has upset Lady as expected. Hopefully she will get used to them and learn to play on them. There’s 4 ceiling toys in total at the moment, 2 spiral ropes, 1 triangular swing, and a 3 hooped hexagonal swing, and it looks great. For now Lady will keep her distance from them, but in time I hope she will enjoy them…..
Although something tells me she’s more likely to enjoy by chewing them :o


Lady!

Lady!

Not much to update on Lady really, she’s still doing well, all her wing feathers have grown back, and she’s still as cheeky as ever!!!

She is not caged much at all now, and spends most days flying from try to tree. I’m hoping to get some ceiling toys up for all the birds over the next few weeks, and although Lady will be a little freaked out at first, I’m sure she will get used to them, and play with them which will be nice to watch :)


Ruby – Almost Fully Flighted

August 10th, 2012
Ruby - Almost Fully Flighted

Ruby has been moulting well over the past few weeks, and her right wing which she had chewed the flight feathers off previously, is recovering brilliantly!! She is now almost fully flighted and it will be interesting to see whether she will take flight. She’s a strong little girl, and although she hasn’t flown since she’s been here, she knows how to exercise her muscles, so I’m sure it’s only a matter of time before she tries to fly :)

I don’t think Ruby will become fully feathered again as she has been a plucker for too long, which has caused damaged to her feather follicles, but her neck and chest have lovely fluffy downy feathers :)

She’s out of her cage most of the time, but has to be watched as she loves to climb down the side of her cage to stretch over and chew and throw around my neatly stacked newspapers!! She thinks it’s fun, but I’m the one left to clear up her mess!! :P :D

She’s such a happy, bouncy little girl, and is very cheeky too, I adore her :D
