My new addition.

Feather in Portuguese is pluma or pena. Pluma also means feather in Spanish. I had to look up “Bagwis” as I have never come across that word. It the name of a Filipino comics character and subsequent movie.

I wish there were bird fairs in my part of the state. It would be interesting to see all the different birds and maybe pick up some new chew toys.

Enjoy your new beauty!

OOOops! SOrry about the misinformation! I was repeating what I was told, LOL.

And I agree! I wish there was a bird fair, too, where I lived!!

I got him to step up today.
He seemed like he wanted out he was kind of climbing all over so I opened it up.
He sat on the door for a while and then crawled around the outside (see picture).
Eventually he ended up back on the door and not to sure how to climb back in.
He stepped up on my hand somewhat reluctantly so I could help him back.

He’s a real eating machine.
Loves his veggies and most fruit I have tried.
He’s slow to eat the pellet/ seed mix I use.
I don’t want to have to resort to sunflower seeds.

Because of his looks I keep thinking of him as Bingo’s Mini-me. This picture of him hides all his red markings and he could very well be a small yellow nape.

I kinda agree that Nugget brings to mind KFC. Unfortunately Cheddar brings up pictures of SpongeBob. So why not Bob, gender neutral. Bobby male, Bobbye or Bobbie female. Isn't picking out names fun! I am jealous of your cutie.

Worse than KFC, Nugget reminds me of McDonalds and wondering what part of the chicken is the "nugget". I've never been a fan of chicken nuggets from McDonalds- theyre too uniform looking to be anything but a lot of artificial. Now, Chik-fil-a is different. Their chicken, including their "nuggets", is pretty good, if a bit Salty.

How about a Mexican place name like Cabo or Baja? I have a budgie named Baja but he's named after a speedboat.

We have a problem.
This morning Merlin started fighting with Luna.

I changed out the papers in the Twins cage and that means I have to basically let them out.
There was a lot of communication between Cheddar and Merlin. A lot of eye pinning or flashing. Tail fanning and small noises.
When flying around the noise was tremendous.
When I put them back they started fighting.
Can’t really be sure who started it, it was to fast.
No damage or injuries and I quickly converted their combined cage into two separate cages.

This was not what I was expecting.

I had something similar happen between Pacho and Plumas. After holding and scratching Pacho when I put her back in the cage with Plumas he would lunge at Pacho as if he was upset because she allowed me to give her attention.

I think things will calm down.

Dang, sorry. Sounds like some jealousy. Particularly since you know that Merlin isn’t “interested” in Luna, him paying some attention to the new baby could definitely cause some tension. I hope things calm down for you.
