I feel so dumb HAHAHA

It's ok, I think anyone might've though it was salty formula!

 

[ini3vm]

Probably only me. I thought Salty formula can get them ready for bitter/sour medicines. I am so DUMB HAAHHAHAHAHAH

If I didn't know he had a parrot names salty, I'd think the same!

Well, you're thinking was reasonable, not stupid at all.

also Im trying to train kiwi and kiko to be able to freefly. they can fly but when they fly they go to their desired places. not come back to me. and while doing recalls when feeding they'd just sit down and do nothing. not even try to come to me for food. but I mean them being happy is it self ok for me. they let me touch them. they can stepup without treats. they like shoulder rides.they like cuddling.
edit: Kiko and Kiwi like to see out side through the windows. so they fly there

 

[ini3vm]

I feel like they both are bonded so its harder to train them :/ But im happy for them

also once their done with food and if their full. they themselves will go into the cage. which was kind of surprising lol

[ini3vm]

[ini3vm]

Kiko did her first Food Recall!!! it took like 20 minutes standing and calling her. but she did it!!!! Im so proud of her!!. at the end the treats were worth it! ( for her) lol

 

[ini3vm]

also Im givign them a bit of watery formula cos they dont drink water. Any tips on how to make them drink water? they can drink like a sip thruogh the syringe and then not drink anymore

 

[BirdyBee]

Hmm.. I think you could "play" with the water and pretend to drink it and maybe they'll try it

 

[ini3vm]

and now kiwi can also do flying recalls but they need practice lol!

 

[ini3vm]

ok ty for the tip!

 

[ini3vm]

also I feel like kiwi is immitate kissing sounds lol I dunno might only be me tho. When I give her a kiss she replys with kissing sounds i dont know if she is immitating lol. might only be me here thinking she is lol

 

[ini3vm]

they are going to have a bath tomorrow.. a bowl with water or sink tap?

 

[ini3vm]

We only bath them with wet towels.. and spraying mist around them..

 

[BirdyBee]

Try to see what they enjoy. Some bird enjoy being gently sprayed, some like water bowls, sink, some even like wet leafy greens like spinach or lettuce
