Hi guys,

Well Ozzie has grown quite a lot. This bird has been through a lot in the 36 days he's been alive. He's had e-coli, candita, vomiting and an ulcer over his left eye. He's almost completely healthy now due to my wife's dedication.

Now isn't just the most precious thing! He's adorable

Dani

What dont kill us makes us stronger! That baby will have an awesome spirit!

Can you say PRECIOUS!

Things that make ya go ahhhh. I reckon thats why I am so dedicated to this job. A surpise everyday, be it with a member or new baby.

*melts into a little puddle*

Ozzie is ADORABLE! I am so happy he is doing well.

OMG!!! He is so beautiful! Så adorable and cute! Love him!

PS. What are those things on the blanket?

Ozzie is so cute.
And D--n I can feel my MBS getting worse and worse.
Danni having a new baby and now this a male ekkie baby
I am literally shaking with the infection it's getting the best of me....
someone help. please

you could come sit in my living room and try to call into a teleconference with ALL the birds trying to answer me when I say something....... That might cure you for a while (didn't work for me, but in theory?!)

I have the bird sitter video, lots of birds squaking etc at once, and I love it.

You're right probably wouldn'd help a bit, just make it worse.

But hey thanks for thinking of me.

wow that lil one is a trooper....i'm now on the craze for a new fid... i th ink lou's heart would be broken though.

How did I miss this?! Gotta love those babies!!!!!!

This is Ozzie at 41 days old. He is getting soooo big, there's no stopping him now!

too cute---good thing Dad & the vet were so dedicated. Congrats!

What a darling! He's going to be a little charmer! *whispers* As if he isn't already!

Looks like he's on his way now.
No more health issues ok Ozzie
We will worry too much.
Give Mommie a kiss.

Precious, my lord, you are blessed.

Here's Ozzie's first attempts at trying to munch up some solid foods. Gotta love those Cheerios!!!

He's such a bug boy now!

Cheerios ROCK!

One day fighting infections and E. coli, the next tackling cheerios. He's a fighter
He is very beautiful....looks like all your hard work paid off well!

*sneaks up while he's eating Cheerios and Matt is not looking....gently picks him up and runs*



I held a male vos ekkie last night and fell in loooooooove *sigh* I must have a male...so make my limit 4 fids. Jasmine, Sasha, the B&G, and a male ekkie Okay, I'll stop there. ......right? Yea.......

*runs after Missi*

Hey now..that one's mine...I called dibs!

Mattls, he's just too much...I want a green guy in life again...

Dani

He is such a cute little guy. I'm glad he made it through all the hard times. I had a sick baby hahns and it was really tough with all the vet visits etc.

Ok, here are some highly sought after photos of Ozzie. He has certainly grown, he was 300 grams this morning!!!



He is such a boy I'm speaking from experience, this is Matt's wife writing.



He is learning to use his mouth, he just loves fingers, cheerios...and zippers!



So now you should be satisfied for a couple of days till we take some more good photos of the little man.

Dang it, I can't see any of the pictures. I will have to guess that he is a cutie though, going by all the other gals comments.

awww......

Aww what a sweet heart! I love seeing him grow!

He has really grown.
And he is getting more and more beautiful.

I'm just about that green with envy.

Watching him grow kicks ****. Wish we would all do that. Weekly diaries. But the truth is... we probably do... I do.

We're now in week 8. He's getting so big

Thanks for a smile to start the day -- what a doll!

Would you look at the lil pumpkin! I just love him *pinches his beak* What a crop!!

He looks like such a sweet heart in that bottom pic

Arrrgh...I want an ekkie...

He's sooo cute!

Dani

More photos, we just can't help taking so many.

Awww Matt he is such a cutie. He's so big now!

Ok the last photos did it.
I'm actively looking for a plane ticket to Geelong, uh what country is that in?
I'll need your steet address and hours when you are both gone so I can sneak in and help myself.
Come on, you've tempted me enough, give me the info. I'll just take the bird.

Oh well. Guess not. But want you to know I can close my eyes and feel the warmth of that little cutie on my chest and hear his little noises.
I want a baby male eclectus.

Thanks so much for letting me live vicariously.

This is Ozzie's first trip out of his box and walking around independantly. He loves to play peek-a-boo!!! I know the photo is a little blurry but he's just so irresistable i had to post it.

The board is quiet... Well anyway Ozzie looks like a grown up now. Big head and thick neck.

WOW! Very pretty colors Ozzie has there I love the blue featghers

AWWWWW!! *Peek-A-Bird!* I love that lil babyyyy *hearts in eyes* Thanks soooo much for keeping us updated! Can't wait to see what comes next!

Here he is day 67!!! His head grew almost double overnight. Starting to really look like an Eclectus now. The biggest news is that he is now pooing on command!!!! Only 9 weeks old and obeying; what a genius!

Wow, he is quite the little gentleman all of the sudden. Wish you could come teach mine that command! Good thing you are so far away or I might be up on birdnapping charges.....

He's so big! Your such a lucky man Matt, gimme gimme gimme lol

Would you just look at that face!! Awwwww....

He is getting prettier and prettier, or handsomer and handsomer all the time.

You will fovever be know as Ozzie's mom and dad, can't remember your names but won't forget the name that goes with that pretty little face.

If he's pooing on command you deserve the pats on the backs, because he wasn't born knowing that. You guys taught him that, Now just imagine all the other possibilites as he grows and matures......

Awww...I want him!

Dani

(dreaming of an Eccy) He's ADORABLE! Just want to give him a big squishy cuddle!

This is Ozzie at 10 weeks old. I managed to get a photo of him pooping on command!!! I just had to prove it. Not that you can really see it. The second photo is of him playing around with a pinecone before bedtime.

Ozzie had his first flight today! 10 weeks old has to be a record!

That is awesome (both Ozzie and the photo!)

He has really grown. And he is beautiful.

Those blue flight feathers are awesome.

The color on the eclectus males is the prettiest I have ever seen. Other birds are pretty but the male eclectus is my favorite hands down.

Oh wow...what an awesome pic! Good for that cutie

Dani
