Hey all!!!
My girlfriend and I have just welcomed into our family Titch - a 10 week old rainbow lorikeet. Hes such a gem, we're loving him and he seems to really have settled in.
I'm just looking for a few beginner points/advice.
Hes hand raised so he's already very comfortable with both of us and is very eager to chill on our shoulders.
Im just looking for some tips in regards to play - what do you think works well and is stimulating
Im also wanting some advice on training.
I am looking to build a little play pen with branches so he can climb, and some rope and things like that - does anyone have some DIY play area ideas??
He is a little skwarker, and wont stop this skreeching noise (think almost like a pig). We were told that this is because hes still a little baby - does anyone else have any experience with this?
He loves his nectar, but isnt too keen on the harder lori pellets. We were told that this is because he is young too - does anyone have any clue when we should expect him to be more interested in that.
Lastly, does anyone have any advice for a good avian vet in the melbourne region.
Sorry for all the questions. Im very excited with this little one, we have so much love for Titch. Any general pointers on how to give him the best life possible would be really appreciated )
Thanks heaps,
Jeremy
