Posted August 21, 200718 yr This is a new addition to the family. I'd had my eye on her for a week or so before I lost Fluoro, at the local Pets Paridise at Broadmeadows. I knew I had to have her when she was still there on Saturday, as rough-looking as before. She looked a little picked on, looks relatively healthy otherwise, but will stay in quarantine for a month anyway. At The Seed Dish On My Perch See My Poor Scruffy Chest? Close Up! Who Couldn't Love This Face? I believe her to be a YF Type 2, as she has blue underwings, and the only feather she lost whilst I was putting her in the cage was a cobalt blue colour (Though I can't hold her long enough to get a picture of that yet). PS - "How did she get the name FeBi?" I hear you ask. . . . SHE BIT ME THROUGH THE BOX!!! :fear: Sooooo, she is a little Feisty Bi***! Edited August 21, 200718 yr by Kylie Chappell
August 21, 200718 yr She is gorgeous! She looks very cheeky :fear Love her name :(Laughing out loud):
August 21, 200718 yr She is a pretty little thing. She does look a bit thin and scruffed up good thing you are quarenting her. I am sure she is fine and needs love :fear Love how you got the name it is awesome.
August 21, 200718 yr Just as well for some of those less off birds that there are a few “softies” like you around. I wood never buy a bird that didn’t look healthy, sadly being so kind has a few risks, buying even healthy birds has health risks, like Elly said, good that you quarantined. That’s gratitude for you, after you did that for her, she turns around & bites you. I bought a bird from a pet shop too yesterday, I will be glad when I have bought all the Mutations I want & don’t have to keep buying birds in, as it’s always a worry, especially when so many talk about disease problems they have on this site. I can’t go by a pet shop without looking, hoping to find that one bird I want. The one I bought is a rarer mutations [Lacewing] I only have one, a hen & this is a cock. I worry I might have wasted my money, as it was the only bird sold to them by this person, so I guess my chances that it’s a good bird are slim. Life is about taking risks.
August 22, 200718 yr Stunning bird! Her wing markings are fantastic. You can see that she would have blue underneath if she had full feathering. I hope that with a little TLC she improves and rewards you for your efforts. Feathers.
