Howdi!! Just an update on Oscar........He's chirping non stop, playing with his ladder, silly bugger goes thru the bars on it & sometimes falls off!! it seems he then looks around to make sure no one saw him fall...hehehe, soooo funny. He LOVES broccoli & spinach, ive given him grated carrot and apple, but he doesnt seem to bother trying it, but I will still keep offering it to him. he hops on my finger without hesitation, when can i start bringing him out of the cage? I dont want to do it too soon and scare him, thats the last thing i would want to do! Are budgies allowed to eat Kiwi fruit? ive got heaps of them & would love to try him on it if its okay for him. Anyways if i can think of anything else to ask you all, dont worry, I will hehehe

Ohhhhhhh, thanku soooo much for doing that for me kaz....very much appreciated His cere is very pink, to me its that pink it looks sore....(Laughing out loud), i thought the picture was too bright, his not that bright blue if you know what i mean, its raining here so i couldnt have him in natural light as its cold outside & i live in a very old dark house, so the flash really did its job (Laughing out loud). I might start finger training him tomorrow then if you think his ready. i also put a little grated carrot in his cage, he hasnt gone near it hehehe. Thanku again to everyone for their help, like i said before, this forum is excellent!!!

Thankyou to everyone to has given me a warm welcome!!!. This forum is EXCELLENT!!!!. thanku soooooo much for the advice you have also given me.....I would hate to do the wrong thing by my little man Oscar. Well, I have an update on him. his now perching most of the day now, whistling much more, when i was cleaning his cage out today, i was moving very slowly and the cheeky boy jumped on my hand, sat there for 30 seconds then started pruning himself!!!. Does this mean he trusts me to do that?. I stood there letting him do this for what seemed like ages, then I gently put him on his perch again. his eating out of a flat dish now, so I havent had to scatter seed on the floor of the cage. Anyways, Ive taken a picture of Oscar, just going to figure out on how to post it, so hopfully you will see him soon Kind regards Kim

Thankyou feathers for your reply im very new to this posting, so sorry if i make any mistakes doing so... the lady i brought oscar from gave me this mix to add to his seed in case he wasnt eating seed too well, egg & biscuit?? i cant remember exactely? anyway, I felt his crop (tummy) and it seems full after a feed. This avro he was climbing his cage and sat on the perch for about 1/2 hour, then went back down again. Thankyou for any advice you can give me, I appreciate it!!!

howdi to all I found this site last night and decided to join tonight. I have had pet budgies as a kid growing up, and decided to get another baby 2 days ago. His a lil boy and my kids & I decided to call him Oscar. His still fairly young, not perching much yet, prefers to still sit on the floor of his cage. He is eating well & so cheeky already!!!! When I get a chance to take a picture of him, I will. Then I have to figure out how to post the picture then hehehe. Im looking forward to reading all the forums and learning alot about this gorgeous bird :greenb: kindest regards Kim
