Well, as the topic goes, i would like to introduce you all to my new baby. KIRBY
I have had him for a month, and i am sorry that i didn't introduce him earlier, but during the last month we have had some trying times.
Anywho. Kirby is 11 months old and i have had him for a month today. He is a blue indian ringneck and every morning without fail he will do his little boy birdy dance.
He was parent raised, and had no human contact for the first 10 months of his life, although you wouldn't know that now ^_^.
In the first week, he was stepping up.
In the second week , we were giving him scratchies.
In the third week, he was giving me birdie kisses.
and currently he is sitting on my head, preening himself.
and while he isn't as tame as some of the birds on the forum, he is well on the way to becomming a lovely pet.
Um what else.
Unfortunately when we got him, all he was fed was seed, so we are introducing him to all the wonders of the fruits and vegies, with some success >_<
I can't find pellets anywhere, so if some one in queensland or northern nsw would be able to point me to somewhere that sells them for less than $18 a kilo (what my local vet wants
) i would be rather pleased.
I am so happy with my little birdie, and while i do have the scars from training all over my hands and arms, its only a little sacrifice compared to the love and joy that Kirby has brought into my life.
