And then there were two 'toos.....

[getwozzy]

Flower seems to be doing ok-- she's been eating and playing but keeping her distance....

Chili is completely petrified about the new cage and her soul-sucking doppelgänger neighbor lol

 

[Mimsy01]

Poor Chili. Foo sympathizes, she hates change, new cages seem daunting, especially if your neighbor is a soul sucker.

 

[SoCalWendy]

Maybe watching flower play and eat chili will catch on in no time...

OMG ! I have been trying to find something like that! May I ask where can i purchase the feeder? Im not exactly sure what it is called but its suppose to make it easier for us when cleaning up so that their food dont fly out everywhere haha.
Please let me know where I can get one and what it called. Thank You!

Flower's former mama here -- this is the feeder I got, in the large size - Bird Cage Feeder Box: Caitec Seed Corral at DrsFosterSmith.com

It is awesome, and well worth the money! At first she wanted nothing to do with it, but I put her favorite treats inside and she could only resist for so long.

How's it going with the pink ladies, Shirre?? Has Flower settled in a bit, and has Chili taken to her new digs and Doppelganger yet?

It's going well so far!

Flower has started to settle in a bit more~ she's a bit nervous around my three year bouncing, energetic child (lol) so she'll fly over to me for comfort. She's also been playing with her toys, eating well, etc~ it's funny to listen to her get mad at her toys lol

Chili's still getting used to her new cage, and they both stay away from each other for now. She's also being a bit uptight about everything, so I'm making sure she gets my attention first and plenty of snuggle time.

It was funny~ yesterday I held out my hand and whistled for chili and flower came instead!! Lol chili just looked at her like umm what the heck?! So, looks like I need to work on two different calls...

 

[getwozzy]

I think she's doing pretty well....

 

[thekarens]

Too sweet!!!!!

Those pics are an amazing tribute to the potential human-avian bond!!

It's been about 6 weeks since Flower came home, so I figured it was time for an update!

Chili and Flower still don't care for each other, yet Chili will play with Flower's toys through the cage divider lol

Flower has settled in nicely~
She demands cuddles before she'll come out of the cage




Super snuggle mode


She's even tried some new and interesting toys lol


Annnnnnnnnnd- I'm SO proud of her for this-- she let my (3 yr old) son pet her, which was huge for the both of them. He was super excited he got to pet a birdie


And she's had baths, but yesterday was the first time she actually enjoyed it!

Ready!


Big wings!!


Dat fluff

Great to hear a good update Shirre. I bet Jed was thrilled about getting to pet Flower . Sounds like she's having no problem settling in. She was originally from a good home too, so I'm sure that makes it easier for all. I especially love the last pic, that's hilarious!

 

[Allee]

Wonderful update and photos, Shirre! I'm thrilled Flower is so happy in her new home!

These photos are so sweet, she looks like she's really enjoying attention from Jed and he's being so careful. I'm glad you got that last pic after Flower's shower, she's too cute for words.

 

[thekarens]

Is there anything sweeter than a fluffy pink bird? I think not!

 

[Anansi]

How have I missed the last few updates?!? Looks like Flower has settled in so well! Loved the pics of her and Chili. They are both such beautiful birds and so obviously well cared for.

Any chance of seeing a few videos of them as well?

Oh he was SO excited!!! She's fine until he starts bouncing around with excitement - then she's like mom, save me!! Hahaha

Thanks allee- I'm glad she's happy here too...she's adjusted so well. And jed was so so so careful with her-- he does this finger thing when he wants to scratch her, where he wiggles his index finger and says "pweeeeease???" it's so cute lol

I was so surprised that she had such a good bath time yesterday-- so far she's just sat there like a bump on a log "oohhh kklk...." But this time she really got into it lol

Umm, yes--- a fluffy blue bird named Zoe!!!!

I can do videos of them separately, but they won't be together-- chili is in the jealous/aggressive stage of the transition, so although they live next to each other in the same cage, they want NOTHING to do with each other lol

 

[Anansi]

Separate videos will be fine, Shirre. In fact, you can just lump those two in with a certain other long awaited video for one uber-thread! You know... just throwing that out there. Lol!

LOL ok, well here's a dance video from not too long ago-- chili wasn't cooperating much-- I don't think she was into the song https://instagram.com/p/3ZtN4PxsuK/

 

[Anansi]

Sweet! Loving the video, (and both your and Chili's dance moves!) but I can't hear a thing with all the construction going on out here! (Midtown, Manhattan) I'll check it out again once I get inside.
