Introducing Yuri! Ona’s New Sister!

[onamom]

Oh my God I’ve created a monster. She won’t stop! “Yuri. Yuri. Yuri.” For literally like an hour now

 

[DonnaBudgie]

Sounds like, um, fun. At least she's not screaming in parrot!

 

[rheashard2]

That's the fun part of a talker. Enjoy! Sounds like she loves her name. Plus she loves your response to it! Enjoy!

Let's get Ona saying Yuri over and over, too!

Oh my gosh I said that to my husband earlier. “What if Ona starts saying it?”

 

[onamom]

Feeling hopeful! Yuri’s meds arrive tomorrow but yesterday and today she has been acting like a different bird. So happy and energized. Gives me hope her episode is going away.

I’ve cut out all seed for her for now, not even millet. Someone recommended Harrison’s Power Treats to me and those just now came in. She likes them! Apparently they are good for birds transitioning from all seed so that’s perfect for her. I’ve also noticed she’s been eating a lot of her herb salad. I think these things are helping her!

 

[onamom]

First wee dose of meds for Miss Yuri done!

 

[DonnaBudgie]

What are you giving her?

They have such beautiful tails, but it's awfully cute the way it is now too

I can't remember where I heard it, but parrots with short tails are sometimes called 'duck butts' because their tails start out so short!

I have to start calling her duck butt now!

What will you do if she likes it?

 

[onamom]

Recovering from surgery and not feeling well but little Yuri makes a good nurse.

Best post-op therapy you could possibly get IMO, @onamom

Baby Yuri’s first apple

And baby Yuri burrowing headfirst

Working on bonding her and Ona. Ona still very friendly and willing. Yuri still a little unsure. They’re getting there!

I’m not feeling well but getting lots of snuggle time in with my girls.
