I've been having computer problems lately, so I haven't been on line in a couple of weeks. Anyways, I wanted to let everyone know what's been going on with Doobie.
He is now 14 weeks old. He started flying on the day that he was 11 weeks, I was so impressed with him. We let him "earn" his wings for a week or two, then clipped his wings. He was only upset for a day or two and has now figured out that staying on his cage is okay.
He's down to one night time feeding, what a chore that was. He'd still like to be fed several more times, but, the spoiled rotten brat that I've created doesn't win. He'll eat absolutely anything I give him and loves his pellets.
I've taught him how to use a water bottle so, I won't be cleaning up "pellet soup" from his water bowl. He'll step up on command and loves his head to be scritched.
Mike calls him "the falcon" when he has his harness on, he wants to make him a mask and a cape for halloween.
Doobie still loves everyone and we're hoping that he stays that way. He's vocalizing more and more everyday, no real words yet but, he can sure mimick the parakeets pretty good. My quaker Kiwi will hang out with him on his cage and they seem to get along just fine, my nanday though, wants to eat Doobie, so they have to be separated, I don't even want to think about what Doobie will do when he's older.
I'll be back on here more now.
Sorry this is so long.
