What a cutie I love his name

Nanook is extremly comfortable with both the kids ( ages 4 and 7) , under full supervision of course. As long as you have a shoulder or a finger to sit on, he's there!! I'm working with him alot, potty training is doing great. And its only been a day!

Yes he is young and a cutie. Congrats

You didn't mention quarantine from your newest budgie (I assume you already are) but if you are not it is always good to keep a new addition in a separate cage and room for 30 days (vet recommends 90 days) to ensure your new addition doesn't get your established bird (s) sick.

Congratulations on your new addition…sounds like & looks like he is going to be a great pet…yes looks like a male to me. If you want to know his mutation, he’s a Sky Blue Normal.

Nanook is so precious and what a unique name! Unfortunately I had to change your sweet picture to a link as it is far over our allowable size. Please click on my signature for size requirements. Again, what a sweet babe!

What a georgous little boy he is and he sounds like he is training up very well You mention 'potty train'. How do you do that and when is the optimum time to start? My Pinocchio is approaching 2 and he does his Pinocchio poo's everywhere (mainly on shoulders) so if there is a way to train them that would be great (rather than put him in nappies (Laughing out loud)) :hap:

What a beautiful bird. Congrats on finding one and I love his name

He is very cute. And I love the name too. It's funny, if you spell "Nanook" differently "Nanuk" it's another word for an icecream in czech (slang probably) :hap:

Nanook is in quarantine, and is still handled. He is in my daughters room while Beep and tundra are in the family room. Extra precautions are still being taken for the safety of Beep and tundra.

 

Thank you Poebe for the link. Everything I do I can't get it down and I have followed to instructions. I must be missing something.

 

Potty training is in a feat of itself. A few tips: know your birds * potty language* the movements just before they go. and usually you can catch it and take him to his spot to do his business. takes a few days but it works well. after a while the bird will know and then let you know that he has to go. I have potty trained a 5 year old cockatiel and a 13 year old african grey...so its possible any age, just as long as you have the patients and time. Nanook is doing very well with training. He is certainly going to make a beautiful addition to our family
