Meet Mr. NoNameYet [update post#13]
25 February 2012: Update in post#13 of this thread to read: Galah has a name now & how he greeted me for the first time.
Hi guys,
I thought of posting some photos of our Galah who I haven't met in person yet. I would really love for him to have a name very soon. If you have any name suggestion for a parrot, feel free to post.
I received these photos of him from my mum. I am returning home to him and the family in March 25th , so you can just imagine, I am COUNTING the MINUTES remaining to be able to meet him in person :red:
My family say that he is such a clown
with a very funny personality. He is friendly and good at making you laugh. They also say that he loves to chew, but that they are working on by giving him chewable toys. He still tries to chew on your clothes and fingers, but the family are working on by distracting him ; having a chewable toy in hand and giving it to him anytime he tries. They said that anytime they enter the room, he calls for them AWWWH bless! and wants for them to carry him <3
We (especially me) are doing lots of readings in different resources about this breed of Cockatoo. Not only is this Galah our very first Galah, but also our very first parrot to ever live with. Needless to say, we are complete Parrot-Owners-Newbies. But for sure we started learning/reading about how to care for one so far - still learning and have so much to learn.
We read that fruit and vegetables are recommended for his diet. My famiy try to feed him some fruits (started with a banana) and veggies (started with a lettuce) but they say that he prefers the sunflower seeds. We read that it isn't too healthy to feed lots of this sort of seeds. on the other hand, our galah shows the biggest interest on them with little to no interest to the fruit and veggie. We don't know how to teach him to have more of fruit and veggie and less seeds.
I have his photos that my mum sent to me in my iPhone ... not the best photo quality as they were taken with my mum's iPhone, but once I get back to them, I will snap tones more photos with my Camera (photography is a hobby that I love and animals are creatures who I love so much ... My favorite creatures to photograph
)
Anyways, here is his photo introduction.
AWWWH I am running out of patience to finally meet him <3
Now we are *assuming* that our Galah is a male due to this fact:
According to my mum, Mr. NoNameYet has dark irises (brown to black, but not red). If the above quote is true, ours is a male. But I am just also wondering, could it be that since ours is 6 months old, he still didn't fully mature - maybe the color of irises can change to lighten up?
I really have no idea, but one thing for sure, he will soon get a name.
If you have any cute name suggestions for him, feel free to add. My mum is waiting for me to give him a name, but I am clueless at the moment.
