Good day to all,
We had the opportunity to visit with our Squiggy a couple days back, and wow, what a difference just a few day can make. They moved him from his plastic tub in the incubator room to the big-bird cages, re-uniting him with his clutch mates. They said they are starting the weaning process now, having the pellets in a dish for them to try, but still hand feeding. The owner said they are playing with the pellets in their mouths, but not really eating yet.
They had us try to guess which one he was, mom got it right, but I didn't, LOL. He was so active too, doing a few tentative step-ups when being passed between us, climbing up under my chin and rubbing the top of his head on my whiskers, and even climbing over our daughter's shoulder to try and get into the hood of her sweat shirt, all in all a great visit. Cannot wait until Sunday for the next visit.
Here are some updated pictures plus the cage we got and the stand I made. In the first pic, Squiggy is the one in the middle looking directly at the camera.
Just a warning though, my wife has just started to decorate the perch and I figure that it is going to look more like a Christmas then a stand, LOL.
We are so excited and can't wait to get him to his new home.
