George Is Improving.

April 17th, 2012
George Is Improving.

Wow well, this week so far has been mega interesting with our George. He has made some massive leaps forward. He has tried different veggies and he has tried mango which he liked. He doesn’t seem too keen on apple though.

He has started to enjoy showers and he has one every morning along with the other three boys.This morning (Tuesday) I actually managed to spray him with his cage door open, his feathers are so dusty so it helps to reduce the dust and he must feel much better for it. He certainly seems to benefit from it.

He has also ventured onto Charlie and Dexters cage, only for a minute or two but he did it. Then he was sat on his perch in his cage when Dexter startled him and he jumped out of his cage onto the floor. So…I sat with him and he just crawled up me, I couldn’t believe it!! He climbed up me, sat on my shoulder for a while taking in the view and enjoying the heat of the sun on his back coming through the window. He then gave me kisses while he was sat there. Totally unbelievable it was!! Then I needed to get him down as I had to somehow get him back to his cage without scaring him, so, I got a cushion and said step on, he stepped on to the cushion and I managed to carry him back to his safe haven (his cage) and then closed the door!!!

He got a couple of treats as did the others and then he started to tuck into his food.

His confidence is growing a little bit each day and we are so suprised by the things he is doing. He still doens’t make a lot of noise like the others and he isn’t all that bothered for toys but he had a little play last week and the odd chomp on his wooden toys but that’s it. But still he is doing great and we are really proud of him.

I will update again as new things happen.


Meet Buzz Buzz Busby!!!

April 16th, 2012
Meet Buzz Buzz Busby!!!

On the 14th of March I collected a cute little grey called Busby from a lovely lady called Jen.

Jen had been battling cancer for 9 years but at the time was quite well, she just worried that if she got ill again she wouldn’t make it and wanted to know Busby was safe she was so upset and didn’t know if she could hand him over but she was moving and really wanting him to be settled somewhere while all that was happening so I said I would look after him while that was going on and once she was settled if she wanted him back that was fine, so we left it at that and he might go back to her.

She rescue Busby from a pet shop where he was unhappy and he was 15 years old, not really friendly and very grumpy.

She owned him for 10 years and in them 10 years has turned him round to be the most loving happy little grey, she can lay him down in her hand on his back and tickle his belly, she use to let him sleep under her bed in one of the drawers he loved dark places and hiding!

He will dance on command and he loves shouting “Where’s My Dinner!! ….. “WHERE’S MY DINNER”!! It is so sweet he gets angrier and angrier it’s so funny.

He loves everyone, will step up to anyone too and even my children and my baby girl who is 15 months old.

He loves to sit out in the garden on a sunny day on the back of one of our garden chairs, he is Clipped Jen always clipped him as she use to spend a lot of time outside and he went everywhere with her. He has a blue cloth that is his “Ragga” and he likes to play with it and screw it up its really sweet to watch.

Here are a few photo’s of him enjoy…

Trulli Update Week 1.

Trulli has now settled in her forever home. At first she was not sure of her new cage and toys. After a change round she soon started to explore her new surroundings.

She loves being out of her cage getting lots of tickles from me and the kids. She loves all the interaction she is getting even from the dogs. she is aready shouting for the dogs.

Trulli is eating well continues to eat her pellets. But she loves bannana chips. She is fit and well, singing and chatting.

We are hoping we can start introducing trulli to my TAG Coco, They have been out together but they took no notice of each other. So the cages are to be put together and see how they get on.

Will keep you updated
Darren and Trulli

Trulli Moves To Her Forever Home.

On Sunday the 8th April 2012 we took Trulli to her forever home to live with Darren and his family.

Trulli stepped up lovely to Darren with no problem and he was smitten by her as she truly is a wonderful birdie.

Her new cage/home was up and ready for her and full of lovey new toys.

We wish Darren lots of happiness with her and he will now be taking over her blog and we’re sure we’ll all enjoy reading and seeing how Trulli Scrumptious settles in to her new home.

Kato Moves To His New Forever Home.

Kato Moves To His New Forever Home.

On Sunday 8th April 2012 we took Kato to his new forever home, he’s gone to live with Mary and Russell.

His new cage/home was up and ready for him and it was filled with lots of new toys.

Kato Stepped up to both Mary and Russell straight away and seemed very happy to sit with them getting head tickles.

Mary and Russell also have another CAG named Thabo, both Thabo and Kato were happy to sit near each other while they were on Russell’s hands, they both just looked at each other, but they were very relaxed, so I think they will be great friends and company for each other.

 

We wish both Mary and Russell a happy time with Kato and look forward to them sharing his life with us on here.

Mary will be now continuing Kato’s blog.
