That color combination is quite striking! He's beautiful. That's a Romeo if I ever saw one If I ever get one I'll totally name him that! What are you going to call this little guy? What is this species exactly? Haha sorry for the twenty questions, I just love birds so much that anything new gets me excited!

 

[RavensGryf]

What is this species exactly?

That's one I suggested to you on the other thread . Rose Breasted Cockatoo! Also called a Galah in their native Australia. They are cuddly like Cockatoos, yet are known to be more emotionally stable and are overall easier to maintain in more home situations. It's a COCKATOO Minimaker!! :04:

Haha, ok I get it Now can you just tell that to my husband who won't lower his expectations one iota??? It's go big or go home without one

I think what it really boils down to is that he's a big guy with big beefy hands and he's afraid to touch our Keets for fear of hurting them. He was the same way with our babies when they were born-just so afraid that he might hurt them. He wants to interact with the birds so badly, but he really won't because he says they're too delicate. He's a big strapping guy and he wants a big strapping bird to handle without the fear of hurting it.

What a sweet thing!

Still no name yet, unfortunately. lol. I'm trying to get to know him better to make sure he ends up with a name that suits him.

So far he's been a big sweetheart and he's constantly demanding scritches. HE'S SO SOFT! I love it! I've been so incredibly happy since we picked him up!

He has been crying and begging for food quite a bit, so I've been giving him formula in the evenings. He sounds a lot like a human infant when he cries, which I wasn't expecting. lol. He's eating his pellets like a champ and I had no problem introducing him to Harrisons. He's a little hesitant with the fruits and veggies though, so I'm still trying to find something he likes.

I'll keep you guys updated and post more photos soon.

That's a Romeo if I ever saw one

LOL. I was actually thinking the same thing. I haven't picked a name just yet, but I added Romeo to the list of possibilities.

Those are actually far and away my favorite toos.

[thekarens]

You could try steaming and mashing the veggies and offering them on a spoon
