Hiya!

The other day I picked up my new bugie Turbo :D I have attached a picture of Turbo :)

I am pretty sure Turbo is a boy, however, if I can get some confirmation that would be great.

I am currently trying to 'tame' him.. I will go read some tips on it also.

So, just saying HEY to everyone :)

 

And this is Turbo B)

Hello and welcome :)

 

Turbo is a very handsome boy- love his name - very cooooooool :D

Thanks for the welcome :)

I like cars, hence my lil man's name :D

Turbo is definitely a boy :) and at least 8 - 10 months or more of age. Hows he going with taming as he's quite advanced and not a baby budgie by any means ?

I know he looks older, but do i see barring on his head :) ???

I'd say more 3-5 months of age as it looks like his first moult...

Definatly a boy :D

And Welcome :)

He's a normal grey by the way :)

His blue cere is definitely very blue thats why I thought older. The barring is confusing. Weird. What did the breeder say about his age ?

I was told he was 6 to 8 months old, he was born last spring sometime apparently

I am going to get him a new ladder, he doesnt climb up on the grit rungs, he like to chew them though :hap:

 

Turbo is settling in quite well. My family really loves him, my brother and dad especially.

 

The taming is going well, I have been handling him a few times a day and just getting him accustomed to people and such.

 

Thankyou all for the warm welcomes :hap:

Hi and welcome to the forum. Turbo is very cute :hap:

Are you going to have his wings clipped for taming or is he settling in quickly?

Good to hear he is settling in :hap:
