SUNSHINE
I have him on a two week trial, trying to get him hand tamed so he can
find a good home. I've had him 2 days and we're making progress. So all you MBS suffering fools out there, I'll do the training and he could be yours.

what a beauty. Are you sure you don't want to keep him....you could have one in every color (and look at that ring!)

Thanks

He is a pretty thing and doesn't bite, just scared.
Hasn't been handled in a while and had full flight, so
got a new home and wings clipped in one day.

He actually went to visit Nila and Priya when I was taking a nap.
Woke to find him in their cage and they were cool with it.
I have a rope hanging to the floor on their cage and he apparently flew to the floor and got himself up there. I haven't put a rope on his cage because I didn't want my two over there terrorizing him. I never thought he would want to go over to them. He's really pretty skinny too. I think he needs a lot of good food, was on an all seed diet and seemed like a scanty amount of seed to me. He did take a peanut I put in his dish. And a foot toy that he screamed at then finally went over and threw down to the bottom of his cage.

He's real interested in everything and I have him right by my computer where I sit most of the time so he gets used to me.

KateyKat what are you getting? At least give us a clue as to the color of the feathers.

FIRST DIBS! I'll commit today.

I'll gladly take that baby. I have adopted from Kimtoo and she has been very happy with her decision.

Ask her, Imma good Mama. :wink:

Sunshine is doing a lot better today. He played on the playgym outside with my two and no major squables. He's eating a little more. But if it's not seed he just throws it down. Including nutriberries. But he doesn't look so skinny to me. I think he just had his feathers slicked down tight to his body out of fear. Now that he's a little more relaxed he looks fatter somehow.

So a little progress each day.

I'm looking a bit fatter every day too, but suspect it has to do with Christmas cookies and eggnog...wonder if I could get away with the feathers and fear defense? I think Sunny looks lovely!

Ok Cat that's a good one. :lol: :lol:
But it's worth a try really.
Have another cookie for me, chocolate is my preference.

Delivered Sunshine to his new Mom today and gotta give anyone credit who rehabs birds and then finds them homes. I had him for less than a week and cried half way home from Mikaela's and it's a 2 1/2 hour ride.
:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

I took him knowing I would find him a good home and man that is hard. Not sure I have it in me to do that again.

I'm sure he has a good home and that helps some. And I could hear Baby calling from his space wanting to get a good look at us. Hopefully they'll get along and have a good time together too.

At least you know he has a super home Sue. And that you are sure to see heaps of photo's of him. Is that the first time you have fostered a birdie? My hat is off to you for taking him in and finding him a forever home.

Its hard to drive while crying isn't it? You poor thing, hope you were careful.

He is a really pretty bird. I'm glad Mikaela was able to take
him and I think he will turn into a velcro bird with a little time and work.

I really got attached quickly. No more fostering for me. I am definitely
not cut out for that. From now on if I take em I keep em or I don't take em.
