CHI CHI
Chi Chi joins me and Shifty the cockatiel. Hopefully they keep eachother company while I'm at work.
She weighs only 34 grams compared to Shiftys 90 grams. I hope they at least tolerate each other. No biting or clawing.
They had many budgies at the bird shop but none of them were hand reared. I loved the yellow face and light blue body of this youngling so I chose her. She was very calm when the store owner handled her and didn't bite so I got her. We think it's a female but it's still very young.
In its first day at home we had huge successes. She steps up and perches on my finger. She also perches on my shoulder. Huge advancements for the first day considering it wasn't hand reared...
