introducing .........
General!!!!!!!
this is the first day i saw him
Image
and this is his first day at home
Image
hes still settling in and hes absolutly terrified of toys but hes starting to react to me again like he was in the shop
when i go in my room during the day he marches up & down the front of his cage waiting for me to put the "yummies " in for him he hasnt vocalised much yet but he is right up the other end of the house & cant hear the other 2 doing their contact calls
riku knows theres a new bird beause she saw me bring him to the front door through the window
i keep saying him because that was what they called in the shop
some times i think boy but most of the time i think girl im thinking of getting him dna sexed for my birthday
id like to hear what you guys think?
also i was told he is six months old but i dont think hes as old as riku
how old does he look to you?

First of all, thats a very cute one!! Congratulation on your flock addition! :D

Anyway, Here take a look;

Image
Thats lovy around 3-4 month old




Image
Thats Lovy at around 8-9 month old!

Notice the difference between the eye?

Looking at his eyes I would say he is probably older than 4 month old, well maybe the person who told you was right, its about 6 month old.

Isn't General a cute little fella :)

The photos are a little fuzzy to have a good guess at his sex.

I agree with giantfoot_truck that he is over 6 months :)

Well done on finding General!!

thanks guys hes just so much smaller than riku maybe it was because they only fed him seed at the shop & riku has been pigging out on anything she
finds in her food bowl & on peoples plates since january :lol: ill just have to spoil him more i will try to get cristy to take some better photos of him as soon as her camera doesnt scare him so much these photos were taken on my phone
