Its been one Month to the day that l brought young Sherbet home.

 

Here is a photo l took about 5 minutes ago, she's happily nibbling on a piece of apple:

 

 

As soon as l put it up to the bars of the cage (l hadn't even pushed it through the bars yet) she was already starting to nibble it!

 

Next week l will try some pear. She's only ever had apple for fruit, but she's still starting out, so l hpoe she likes her pear next week

wow month and she is trying fruit already Good job. Try slices of carrot too.

Great idea!

 

This is the second time she's had apple. The first week we tried to give her some, but l think she was so scared that she didn't try it, now she loves it!

 

With the slices/grated carrot - can l put them in the containers that l got with the cage? (the food and water dishes). I use the dispensers, but l have kept them just in case...

Sherbet looks like she is really enjoying her apple.

it is hard to believe it has already been a month that you got her, time sure flies by.

 

edit= l just noticed we posted close to the same time.

yes, you could use the food/drink containers that came with your cage for the carrots.

It sure does!

 

I play ten pin bowling in this league which plays once a month (every 4 weeks) and the one before today's league was when l bought her - so one month today

yes, you could use the food/drink containers that came with your cage for the carrots.

As long as they are not the ones used for seed or water. Sorry if that sounds silly but I not sure if you meant you use other feeders instead or not.

I have these dispensers l use which are tall-ish and are attached to the cage, l can fill them without putting my hand into the cage.

 

The ones l was given with the cage were plastic, wide and a bit bulky, so l decided not to use them for water/seed. But l will use them for the carrot

i feel like eating a pear now

Thats the best part about it! Whatever fruit she gets, l eat the rest of!!

I tried some pear with her this morning, she was all excited because she was expecting apple, but with the pear she didn't eat all that much, still nibbled it, but l think she prefers the sweeter taste of the apple

 

But, what she gets given is what she gets given, because l have to eat it too!

Try her with some sweetcorn...corn on the cob. My budgies love it

congrats on the 1 month milestone, she is beautiful
