Saying Good Bye To Babies

[Angelic Vampyre 0]

So Jelly bean went off to his new home today I know he will be loved and cared for but still sad to see him go. He use to spend the afternoon on my shoulder while I feed the other birds.

 

Either Jean or Head Case will be going next week and I have someone else coming to look at the whoever remains and Butter.

 

I know it is all part of the game but still it's sad to see them go.

Are you still in need of a home for one AV? I had someone ask me today whether I had any available (via this site)

[maesie 0]

I feel your pain buddy :ohmygod: . Up until this year, I have kept all my babies. I also found it hard to give away my Opalines

Hello AV, again.

news about a baby.

By the time we came home he is ignoring us First - He doesn't want to come off the box, so we've put him in the cage together with the opened box (I didn't want to push him), then maybe in a half an hour he slowly came out by himself. so that was the only step he made.

after that he step up on the wooden bar and were facing the wall till 5.30, I was so happy when he (finally) turned to face us (also I haven't seen my husband that emotional ) Now he is slowly slowly changing his positions around the new cage.

I'm worried about that he is not eating :ohmygod: I've put 4 feeders with the food around the cage (as you told me to do) and 2 with the water and he's not touching it. Is it normal?? I know that it takes some time wile he'll use to us and new cage but wasn't thinking that it will be that painful. I was thinking to check if he is full (as you shoved me) but he didn't let me to touch him What to do??

 

P.S. Sorry for the bad new or.. maybe it's not that bad...

Chaged warry to worried

He will perk up Marina, don't worry too much yet. It probably seems very quiet without his (budgie) family around him, try putting a radio on for him.

He's cage in a family room and we are there at all the time and TV is on.

Hopefully he'll be more comfortable soon

[Angelic Vampyre 0]

Yeah, this is normal.

 

Try and cover some of the cage so he has a place to retreat to. (drap a towel over one half of the cage so he does not feel so exposed) He might not eat today and wait and see what happens tomorrow. As for water I have never seen some of my guys drink so would not be worried about that.

 

Give him a few days before trying to get him up on your hand, talk to him lots. Remember how loud my bird room is well your house I would say would be alot more quiet. I moved his sisters into my study today as they keep excaping their cage in the bird room and they are all very quiet as well.

 

Give him 48 hours if you are still worried then I can pop around one night after work and see how he is going.

I got a new baby budgie a few weeks ago, and he did nothing but sit on his swing for the entire first day. He spent the next week or so exploring and trying to escape from his cage (involving tipping out his seed trying to burrow his way out through the seed tray). Now he loves his cage and is pretty good with sitting on our fingers or shoulder. So that is very normal for the first day.

Thanks AV!

I feel a bit better now. cos I wasn't sure what alse can I do for him and how to entertain him.

ooh my husband is so funny and sweet he's talking to the Jelly at (almost) all the time in a babytalk :party0011:

[Angelic Vampyre 0]

LOL he will come around, Blue (his dad) took 3 days to settle and then started seeing if he could twist he body in strange ways in the cage to freak me out and hang upside down from his perches! So maybe he just takes after his dad?

 

Also you have to remember he is use to being in a cage with 4 other birds so he will be a little in shock over them not being there.

[Marina 0]

It's hard not to worry about them, it's times like this I wish I could keep them all but I know I can't and I know you and your husband will take really good care of him.

 

Post pictures when you get a chance.

changed it to if and added r in forward

[Marina 0]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

On the first day we were worried that he is not eating but yesterday (the second day at our place) we saw him eating next to the feeder 3 times!

I hope that he's feeling better! Also he start interacting with his new toys that we bought for him, he especially likes his swing, he was sleeping on it

 

We're talking to him all the time, even when he was ignoring us. And once we left to the kitchen for dinner and he start “talking” (in him way), we came into the room, he’s quiet, came back to the kitchen and he starts again, so we came to the room... and it was so funny, looks like he wants attention because the each time we're coming in we're talking to him

Today when I just woke up I went to see him. Guess what he was doing? Eating

 

Yes, I'll put up photos of him soon

That's great, it warms my heart to know that one of my bubs is well looked after also his parents are very special to me so he means even more then normal. What did you decide to call him? I can't wait to see pictures.

 

Looks like the other three are all going this weekend.

heh at the time he has a lot of names, it's all of the cute name as cutie, sweetie, baby, boy... also one of them is in Russian (it doesn't have a translation), which means- the one who clean him self a lot. that what he does at almost all the time. By The Way Does it mean anything? or is that normal?

 

p.s. my husband bought him a little portable radio :hug: to make him feel not alone when we're not home

Preening and this means that he is happy and comfortable. Birds that are stressed or upset or are afraid do not preen themselves.

Hi AV. I think that he's doing the same thing that his dad used to do! He is twisting his body! first I thought that he twisting it because he's sleepy (like people twist their body) but no I see that it must be the thing that you've told me about his dad! each time we're coming closer to him he starting doing it! and it's looks like he is telling "don't touch me! i'm busy"
