Taking Fids to the bird torturer tomorrow morning.

They are all healthy, but I take them to the bird torturer (avian vet) every 6 months for a physical. In case I need to rush home for family emergency it's a good thing to always have a recent checkup for a boarding person/company. I'll report their weights and findings tomorrow evening.

BTW she is the best AVN, that's just what the birds call her because they dislike nail trimming....

How are the teenagers doing? Boys or girls?

Their cere is like changing a lot.....I can't be certain on any of them yet, Thinking is a baby thing and comes in with puberty maybe? But all are alive and fine. They know which big birds are safe and which to shy away from.

They fly around more than the older ones exploring the environment. But also Imitating the other birds. I don't worry about them anymore, the baby pheromones seem to have worn off and they are now flock members.

I've seen them fly to land near the sun conure and just chill by him.

I'm taking Joey my female sex manic and chronic egglayer to the Bird Torturer next Friday for a hormone implant procedure. I hope she survives the procedure. She's my sweet baby and loves us so much.

I will tomorrow.....The babies like hanging out together, they seem to realize they are younger than the older ones so they do go on escapades with each other and....sometimes to a little pecking order battles but nothing serious. Maybe they know they are siblings or half siblings (same dad different moms). They sometimes follow the dad around, but he's more active than the moms and shows them things. I will say this one of the babies this is High entertainment for ?her? Their version of Disneyland. The dangles from every damn thing. Even perches. But they are living their best life.

That baby is a real acrobat and I say it's a girl!

OK
AC, Sun Conure (flock leader and pacifist) was 103g and is now 103g

Kent, GCC was 67g and has dropped to 63g.. seems too excited chasing babies around it seems a year ago he was 74g. Not sure what is going on there, but has clean bill of health.

Snowy, Quaker was 87g but went up to 98g But she did lay (infertile) eggs in last month or so so vet says that tracks ok.

Talked about the splayed legs of the two youngest born budgies that I had no idea how to handle until donna budgie helped me out, and said get 80 grit sandpaper and I threw in a washcloth at the back of the box and they came out at least able to walk. They kept slipping out of the handcuff things to keep their legs together. BUT they are happy living their best lives now.

I feel bad, but they are getting along fine and the AVN said as their muscles strengthen they may be able to fix it on their own.
