Never been to Mystic? Awesome Aquarium. We stopped by on the way back from Salem one year. A bit pricey for being so small, but lovely animals there and the docents were friendly. The little shops are fun to go in and out of too.
Congrats on your new Bella -- warm babyfood and oatmeal are winners here. Probably goes back to warm feedings from Mom and Dad bird.
Most of us seem to have photo loading issues - HA!

Congrats on Bella...You have many years of laughter and love from these beautiful feather creatures. I got Jezebel from a breeder in VA and I was a nervous wreck the day she was flown into atlanta, But all went well and she was so happy to meet her new flock. She settled in very quickly and picked her favorite person within a couple of days (she's a mommys' girl ) Just wait till she starts talking, Jezzie was already saying hello when we picked her up and hasn't stopped since It's so funny the words they put together to make a sentence. My advice to you first off is to potty train her...I took the advice from everyone on this board about it and am so glad I did...No bombs on mommy ;D she will tell me she has to go poop even if she isn't on me which is funny when we have company and she's on her playstand and says it. Can't wait to hear all the stories about Bella, oh and love the name you picked for her

I think Jezzie came from DJ feathers out in Chantilly (I'm from VA too but live in NJ) She'll tell you for sure. As for potty training, start with the first AM bomb and give her the key word. With Auggie it's just "go poop". Sort of like a puppy, watch for signs (waggling tail), say the command and keep going with it. I was lucky, Auggie actually just about trained himself.
Sounds like Bella is beaking (teething) don't let it get away from you so she doesn't bite (but they ALL bite - HA)

Ya I got Jezebel from DJ Feathers...Love them...Jezzie caught on really fast with the potty training, I think because I would make such a huge thing out of it when she would do it and say it..Kinda like potty training a child ;D Now she just says "gotta poop" and over to her playstand we go...she does her business and then tells me "all done" so I'll pick her back up

Lol I thought it was so cute she was eating away and she tries to climb to My shoulders but I get her off I heard its not safe for them to stay up there n she still doesn't have a good grip when she stands on things or your finger

Is it normal for Bella to be at the bottom of the cage floor instead of her perched she seems bored in her cage

It might be because she is young and still getting used to her perches and cage. Is everything else the same as it was - is she eating and drinking okay?
