June 26, 201014 yr Sounds good now A.boy. You will probably find his colour changes again after his first moult. About 3 mths. when he moults out his baby bars. Glad that he's definately eating so he's off to a good start now. Keep up the good work. :what: P.S "Banjo" sounds good.
June 28, 201014 yr Author hi all just an update on Banjo he is doing great still, and he is eating heaps!! greedy guts his poos are hard and normal looking he has a clean bum and he is getting to like me more when i am in the room he hops of his perch down to the cage door and stares at me so i lift the door up and he jumps out onto my hand im trying to get him to fly back to me, not luck yet, and i am also training him to hop back onto my hand i tried the cheek rubs, but he doesnt like them, i think im doing it wrong ill try again! PS: thats wierd ratzy a bright blue??? di your look a silvery blue when it was younger? show us a picture of it recently =] i am taking some more pics of him tommorrow alpaca boy :question:
June 28, 201014 yr Yeah, she is just starting to turn the same shade as Skye ( cobalt ). You can see the colour on the rump, it it progressing slowly. I also just noticed Lexi has deeper colour coming through as well. Thimble is weird as when her tail grew in it was a deep violet.
July 3, 201014 yr Author PICTURE UPDATE FOR BANJO: He is doing well, training him is a bit slow, but i have to say havnt really put much work into that yet, ut holidays have started so will be sure to spend more time with him!! he likes to hide under my bed and behind the photoframes ??? im not sure why ? PS: do we all still say he is a mauve?? Edited July 3, 201014 yr by alpaca-boy
July 4, 201014 yr can i asked why you felt it nececary to clip his wings i truly dont understand why people do this youhad the opitunity to have a very tame bird that trusted you and you cut its wings off id be hiding too how hard is it to sit in a room with blinds pulled with just a crack so you can still see fine and do nothing but interact with bird for 15 minits a day even with light on if the bird flys off to high spot yousimply just hope on chair as talking to it and placeyour hand around it andbring it back to where youwant it they soon get the idea that its pointless flying off as your just going to retreve it straight away no need to clip anything but each to their own and hes looking great
