Katie, what's impressive is his fearlessness. He goes right at the new toys!

 

[charmedbyekkie]

Aww, that's sweet! He's so helpful with opening his presents you've made him a pro with handling toys too. It's great to see you guys again!!

Thanks, that was fun!!

 

[Laurasea]

What is his diet???? He looks so healthy!! Like what veggies exactly? lol

 

[katie_fleming]

He knows exactly what to do with a present haha


@Laurasea - Thanks I give him fruit, veggies, sprouts, pellets, dried mealworms, birdie bread on occasion (Mama's birdie bread), brown rice on occasion, and a seed mix as a snack.

What brand if pellets? Name five most common veggies you use please. . many people have trouble with ekkies diet, tie taps and wing flaps so I'm sure many many are interested! How long have you had him? Such a deep green so pretty;

I give him Harrison's Pepper Lifetime Course, about 5 a day. As for veggies, hard to say top 5 (he always gets a big variety) but carrots, celery, corn, green beans/navy beans/kidney beans, chick peas...


I've had him since he was 4 months old, and he'll be 5 in April The colour is a bit off in the video because the room was too dark but he does have gorgeous colours!

Hahha Yeah he just loves them, as soon as he sees them coming his eyes pin like crazy!


His TT/WF has been non-existent now since JULY. Amazing. He only wing flips before bed but it seems to be him just settling, otherwise no appearance. His calcium/protein are in normal range, still a bit on the low side. So I continue to supplement his water daily (he doesn't drink a ton so that doesn't help). Otherwise he's back to being a total booger and is doing great! I plan on starting up some more flight training soon, just a little at a time to see how he is. Thanks for asking!

Katie, I love Jasper's videos! He's such a good boy. I really like his excited little squeal when he digs in to his presents. So cute!

Great to see you both again, Katie! And love the video! It always cracks me up how dainty he is about opening the wrapping. Lol! And he really is looking beautiful.
