love those pics pearce... keep 'em coming! Nibbler looks great.

that is awesome!!!

good luck with everything Oki. I really hope that your bird is okay. I can't believe they are selling birds that young!?! I can't believe a breeder would sell birds to a petshop that young either!! Irresponsible on both their behalves... for you and your little one...

for you. like Kaz said, over here some pet shops say they are selling babies when infact they arn't so hopefully in this case they are lieing because a 3 week old baby wouldn't be doing great right now if it hadn't been fed. just read your post... when you say his feathers are just starting to come in do you mean he looks like the birds in my signature below??

We skipped 44... so do I get that number??? 50

looking great there pearce

The parents arent in the picture here JB Sorry Kaz I should've been clearer, I meant that Oki would need to trust her girlfriends parents very much and know that they know what they are doing when they feed the bird...

I just wish I could try and play choplin or Beethoven... Its all good, maybe one day.

what are you feeding the bird? at 3 weeks old they are still not fledged so you'd have to trust the parents very much and know that they know what they are doing...

awww sorry to hear that. not good.

just don't leave it in to long...

Is this our first member in Japan? Thats pretty kewl! Welcome to the forums...

I just have to ask, why is it so urgent?

great job Pearce... just a question any idea what causes the birds to all hatch a day after each other, I thought usually they have a day in between, right?

That is great news Chrysocome! Congrats!!

The blood test results apparently showed Liver disease...

39

Well I haven't given an update on Len in a while so I figured I would. I went back to the vet today because he (vet assured me he is a he) hasn't been putting on any weight. so I got taught how to do a crop feed. It was a little tricky but I go there eventually. :thumbs_up: Len is still on some antibiotics that the vet gave me but I am hopeing that he will begin to improve sooner rather than later. Oh And they said that according to all their tests that they did it is liver disease... they said that was common in ino/lacewing birds. I asked if it was likely that he would improve and if the liver could recover like in humans and they said it could but it still would be weak. They want me to move to a pelleted diet... They also said to make sure he stays warm for the time being, which I've been trying to do. I am just wondering what I could do to set up a hospital cage with a stronger light than a normal desk lamp... any idea's?

very nice Daz...

yeah I wondered about this... I'm not sure what sort of heat the other globes produce... maybe a resident electrician might know...

wow! So Cute!! Thanks for showing me!

nice looking birds there RIP looking forward to seeing what you plan on doing down the line... you always seem to be focused on the end goal so I look forward to watching you achieve it

looking awesome Daz... excuse an ignoramas but can that saw be a router as well?

looking forward to seeing what you get out of them

On the French Moult theory that doesn't make sense that they clear up after being moved on to another nest... And I'm pretty sure Dave's chick wasn't FM....
